 |
rainy birthday |
|
|
|
|
|
this is good |
|
A blessing, onto my newly empty hands. |
|
|
|
|
|
hole in the head |
|
From winter of last year, but despite telling myself |
|
this all would be better kept to myself, having this |
|
sit around is eating holes into my hard drive. |
|
|
|
|
|
.....................................................hacks |
|
|
|
tenpo, a tiny but friendly pure-bash metronome |
|
As clever and elegant as I could come up with. But not |
|
a gimmick; at least it's what I actually use. The only |
|
hard dependency is your terminal bell; a couple lesser |
|
caveats can be found commented within. |
|
|
|
|
|
a sed script for prose text line length |
|
Essentially fmt(1), but does what you mean without any |
|
additional flags. Also, can edit files directly, since |
|
sed. |
|
|
|
I have this recurring urge to make it hyphenate too -- |
|
despite personally loathing hyphenated text -- just to |
|
justify its existence that little more. I'm like... 72% |
|
certain it could be done in GNU sed. |
|
|
|
|
|
...speaking of justification |
|
Put this function in your .{bash,ksh}rc and use the |
|
shell to justify your plaintext prose, if you agree |
|
with me on groff being messy overkill for this kind of |
|
workflow. |
|
|
|
The meat of this comes from the prose text editor I |
|
made for myself -- if you hang out on com, there is a |
|
slim chance you may have heard me talking about it -- |
|
the state of it is that it's in fact mostly finished |
|
now. I have been greatly enjoying it for many months, |
|
despite lingering hiccups. More to come, maybe a demo |
|
video, who knows. |
