I’m firmly in the “Don’t Recline” camp but I’m also in the “Don’t punch the reclining seat in front of you” camp. How is this possible? The internet is acting like it’s not possible.

I have a hard time deciding https://copingmechanism.com/2020/my-day-so-far-in-roam-and-or-emacs/

Tractor (2011). The last frame I ever shot on Kodachrome.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I just sharpened my pencil really well.

I swear to god if I waste any more time (over)thinking about how to effectively manage my use of Emacs I’m going to hang it up and go back to Vim.

Emacs was getting out of hand https://copingmechanism.com/2020/reigning-in-emacs/

Yes, of course I want a rotary cell phone.

The power switch is an actual slide switch. No holding down a stupid button to make it turn off and not being sure it really is turning off or what. http://justine-haupt.com/rotarycellphone/

Looks like I’m using Roam as a personal CRM :) https://roamresearch.com

Is it possible to configure the Touch Bar to display keys that are broken on the actual butterfly keyboard? That could at least make the Touch Bar sort of useful.

Moved my blog from jack.baty.net to https://copingmechanism.com because I wasn't using the domain and I like it better so there.

Org-roam is hoping to be the Org mode version of Roam and I like it. https://www.baty.net/2020/org-roam/

I seem happy about the new lens, but camera shake, poor exposure, and improper development took a little of the wind out of my sails. Next roll!

My dream has come true!

15 years ago I sold a Summicron 35mm ASPH and I’ve regretted it every day since. Today, I corrected that mistake and I’m very excited. I’ve always thought of this as the perfect kit for me.

I have a hard time distinguishing between features that are just "neato" and those that are actually useful.

Does anyone know of a way to use Emacs for some things but without then immediately trying to use it for everything? That’s where things go wrong for me.

Jess and I saw the “Toys!” exhibit at the GR museum. This photo of the “Generation X” display basically reconstructed my childhood basement.
