  • [[AG]] stayed over and it was great.
  • I will now do two (planned) pomodoros to finish work for the day, in particular do some long standing expense reports. After that I will segue into the weekend :) But you could also say the weekend already started, I’m fine with the program and having a very chill day with [[Lady Burup]].

    • [[sabbatical]]
    • may 2025-july 2025? one month to start with?
πŸ“… Date [[2024-10-01]]
  • I read about [[polymers]] and [[acrylic]] a.k.a. [[PMMA]] via… the [[Cotton-Mouton Effect]] (?).
    • Also about [[Sky Pool, London]] which "was criticized as emblematic of economic inequalities in London.".
  • [[Magnets]]
  • [[Zine]] (enjoying it, working in [[overleaf]] with vim bindings is a pretty nice setup)
  • Thought of [[Right Resolve]], [[Right Speech]], [[Right Action]], [[Right Freedom]]
  • [[agora development]]:
    • [[agor.ai]] is partly fixed since yesterday (finally!) in the sense that link.agor.ai and flancia.agor.ai are back up in [[hypatia]] \o/
    • I still want to make https://agor.ai work and serve a ‘default Agora’ that lists the known Agoras in the domain ("network").
    • I fixed my [[wiki vim]] setup to allow for easy markdown editing again and things like interacting with checkboxes.
    • I wanted to work on the [[plus operator]], a quite simple thing on the surface but it runs deep
    • I want to experiment with embedding images in nodes using [[Silverbullet]].

  • read about the [[Karmapa]]
  • I have this week off, will probably keep today and tomorrow off and resume work on Wednesday
  • #push [[do]]
    • I crafted, and then went through, a lengthy todo list :)
      • do laundry (2x)
      • donate (2x)
      • run [[collect]] over todo items/notebooks, they’ve gotten out of control as usual :)
        • add items to this todo list or ideally to the [[root node]] for my tasks
        • maybe add images directly, although that could take time it will be less time than entering manually, and I could pipe the collection to AI at some point?
      • write
        • zine (2-4x)
        • get java [[minecraft]]
        • one or more of:
          • open letter to musk

      • code
        • get into a code-release flow again by shipping one little change to anagora.org

πŸ“… Date [[2024-09-27]]
  • I’m back :)
  • [[social.coop]]:
    • Updated moderation announcement
    • Review pass issue reported by edsu
  • [[bobby lyte]] mentioned the importance of "the shared and collective belief and energy toward a common goal" and I liked how he put it
πŸ“… Date [[2024-09-24]]
  • [[work]] was OK.
    • tomorrow will be even better I think :)
    • it will start weirdly.
  • I thought of [[tanzwerk]] and [[hardturm]] again, and of cycling through the city, thanks to the Agora/my digital garden. Maybe during the weekend?
  • While using the Agora, I thought of some things:
    • It is a shame that so few different users show up in recent, BUT there are a few contributors I didn’t know about and that felt cool/interesting and I found several nodes by old friends I want to read.
    • It really should have a ‘pin’ or ‘star’ or ‘save’ button as "mvp" for storing state originating from the web client but not tied to an editor. I found some wikipedia-articles-within-the-Agora that I wanted to ‘pin’ as having been interesting, and just being able to save a subnode that says ‘flancian was here on X’ would suffice really. Like a visitors log, old web style maybe. Or just a bit in sqlite?
      • I need to find vera’s branch that took me too long to review :(
        • Better late than never? Or, well, in any case it is an inspiration.
      • I want to catch up with [[j0lms]]
  • I want to do [[yoga]] tonight.
  • It is 22 as I write this and I’d like to be in bed tonight by 1am.
  • Also, [[Tschenresi Sadhana]].
  • I’m back!
    • In the wrong location ;) [[sariputta]] has an old-style editor which adds journal entries to /journal :)
    • I’ll live with the discrepancy, they are coalesced reasonably well by the Agora in any case.

  • Back in [[Flancia]]!
    • Or did we ever leave?
    • [[Mallorca]] was beautiful!
    • Thank you [[AG]] for your kindness and your beauty.
    • Reunited with [[Lady Burup]] yesterday evening.
  • Today I cleaned and I worked around the house, catching up with:
  • Today I noticed that [[37]] = [[19]] + [[18]], meaning a centered hex number plus its center-less partner.
    • So it seems like a very good packing for two hex numbers, in one figure.
  • Then I [[flowed]].
  • [[zine]]
  • Music: [[rainbow folding]] and others
  • [[37]]

  • I’ve gotten [[paramita]] back up and running, it had broken in a variety of ways (broken nvim with a bus error, broken gammastep)
  • [[Jigme Rinpoche]]

  • [[Google IPO]] twenty years ago today
  • [[zine]]
  • [[AG]]
  • Had lunch with [[Stapelberg]]
  • I banged my right elbow hard when moving near an open window, I hope it doesn’t swell :)
  • Good day overall in any case!
    • I cycled to work and back and it was great.

  • Chill rainy Sunday at home :)
  • Spent it with [[AG]].
  • Then in the afternoon [[VK]] and her boyfriend [[Sascha]] came about, it was very nice!
  • [[feedback 2024]]

  • [[Maitreya]]!
    • Maitreya on Saturday is extra special
  • [[Burup]]
    • I played the piano, I’m enjoying recording midis while practicing even if it’s sometimes cacophonic — as it sometimes isn’t :) and saving the midi seems interesting and would let me extract fragments later
  • [[Fediverse]]
  • Wrote [[practice.py]] on a lark :)

2024-08-16

  • I got here the long way around :)
    • For sure I did! Cool — back here something like… 18 hours later, at 22.
    • Yesterday night I had a wild ride restoring my preferred [[Agora editor]] to working order, and then exorcising my digital garden from a file over 100MB which I accidentally committed and made Github refuse me all service with insufficient explanation :)
  • [[Silverbullet]]:
    • Now running [[Silverbullet dev]] having worked around the actual trigger for the most critical part of https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/1010, which ended up being not due to garden scale only but also due to a recent change I had made to my config :)
      • Keeping an eye on the other performance issues.
      • You wouldn’t believe how much I missed having a web-based [[Agora editor]].
      • It made me think I still have to keep honest and actually offer this as a service in the [[Agora of Flancia]] — I would love to provide hosted Silverbullet for whoever wants it.
    • Thought of:

πŸ“… Date [[2024-08-13]]
  • I played the piano and played with [[Lady Burup]] :)
  • A few days ago I learnt that [[stanines]] were/are a thing.
  • [[work]] happened, ups and downs, I was a bit tired; I think I should go to bed earlier on Mondays as Tuesdays demand energy :)
  • [[nostromo]] crashed again and then exhibited a [[heisenbug]] (I wrote about it on Fedi).
  • some [[social.coop]] work, it made me a bit sad to revert an experiment that I thought could be positive due to spirited pushback but it’s important to respect the experience of the community
    • it’s pretty out there how much time I’ve been spending trying to keep nostromo alive — it crashes quite often, I should prioritize that
    • [[backup nostromo]]
    • then maybe I could get a replacement, or just use it to the end but try to work around the issues with more automation? because they’re hardware triggered (overheating, plus some likely adapter related issues for what is a laptop with many functions)
  • some [[social.coop]] work, it made me a bit sad to revert an experiment that I thought could be positive due to spirited pushback but it’s important to respect the feedback of the community
  • thought about:
  • [[bangers]]:
  • [[silverbullet bug]] which makes it harder for me to write in the Agora :(
    • but things will hopefully get better :)
πŸ“… Date [[2024-08-12]]
  • Found [[3493]] on the way to work today, it was great.
  • Then in the night I thought of [[cryptobuddhism]].
πŸ“… Date [[2024-08-11]]
  • Sad morning but I think it was also cathartic.
  • Then I cleaned the house, and I did practice :)
  • Got back to [[Building Bridges]] after long, finally — it’s been on the backburner for a year or so, at least?
    • Will try to do a pass on it, with the occasion of also
    • Fixing formatting issues on [[Agora Chapter]] for legibility before sharing further
  • I need to fix the issue that on some computers [[wiki vim]] writes journals on /journal/.md and in some others I have it set it up to /.md
  • [[Flow state]]
πŸ“… Date [[2024-08-10]]
  • I read what [[NG]] wrote
  • Bought shoes, which was on my todo list :)
  • Bought a book gift
  • Received a book gift :)
  • Found [[standardgalatic]]
  • I biked from [[AG]]‘s place to [[Flancia central]] in the midnight sun and it was beautiful :)
  • Then I saw [[VK]], it was great!
  • Then I flowed.
  • Updated [[bill flancian]]

  • Now on the [[third]], early in the morning you could say :)


  • [[Flancia meet]] was quiet but I enjoyed it anyway, took the time to do stuff leisurely on the laptop.
