• 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]].

  • 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?

  • I read about the two first [[immaterial states]], very interesting.
• [[zine]]

• 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

• [[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:
  • [[Mohammed]]
  • [[UNICEF]]
  • [[Mum]]
  • [[Friends]]
    • :)
  • [[AG]]
• 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]].
  • [[Social Coop]]
  • [[Ekumen]]
  • [[KPT]] and paperwork review
• [[zine]]
• Music: [[rainbow folding]] and others

• [[I’m back]]!
  • I spent the week in [[Stockholm]] for work.
  • Flew back to [[Zürich]] on Friday and reunited with my [[Lady Burup]], it was lovely.
  • Now writing these lines on the train to [[Paris]], where I’ll reunite with [[AG]] before we move on to some other destination for five days of further enjoyment.
  • We will reunite once more with my [[Lady Burup]] on the [[20th]] if everything goes according to plan.
  • Back to work on the [[23rd]].
• Donated to:
  • [[Medico International Schweiz]]
• [[Fediverse]]:
  • [[On the internet, nobody knows you’re old]]

• Today I finished the one week course with [[Lama Jigme Rinpoche]]. He was kind and inspiring.
• It is nearly time, I think?
  • [[Open Letter to Elon Musk]]
  • [[Open Letter to Maitreya]]
  • [[Open Letter to Moloch]]

• 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]]

• [[master plan]] -> [[main plan]] :)
• Thank you [[Jigme Rinpoche]] and [[Dhagpo Switzerland]].

• Maybe things will turn out to be [[funny]] in retrospect
  • I have been told that [[Flancia]] seems to lack humour, even though it started as a well-meaning joke! I guess I lost/deprioritized that along the way…
• [[work]] has been tough since last Thursday and I realize that has made it so that I haven’t noded much here for a while.
• [[fellowship of the link]] :)

  • 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!

2024-08-17

• [[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]]
  • Had a conversation with [[foolishowl]]
• 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 :)
    • I had to do a [[git rebase]], which didn’t work, and (re-) learn about [[git filter-repo]] and such
• [[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:
    • [[Agora demo]]
    • [[AG]]

• "I’ve seen what will happen, many a time".
• [[Work]] was alright, looking forward to tomorrow actually :)
• I spent time with:
  • [[AG]]
  • [[Lady Burup]]
• I thought of:
  • [[Avalokiteshvara]]
  • [[Maitreya]]
  • [[Tara]]
  • [[Candles]]
  • [[Magnets]] (as usual) :)
  • [[WS vision]] ;)
  • [[Flow]]

• I played the piano and played with [[Lady Burup]] :)
  • The smell of [[Petrichor]] in the balcony.
• 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:
  • [[forking]]
  • [[merging]]
• [[bangers]]:
  • [[banger]]
• [[silverbullet bug]] which makes it harder for me to write in the Agora :(
  • but things will hopefully get better :)

• Found [[3493]] on the way to work today, it was great.
• Then in the night I thought of [[cryptobuddhism]].

• [[Building Bridges]] then :)
  • Between [[platforms]], between [[formats]], between different resources in one [[garden]] or [[Agora]] :)
• [[donna haraway]] has interesting/surprising (to me) contents!
  • [[A Cyborg Manifesto]]
• I thought of the question of defining [[canonicity]].

• 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]]

• 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]]

• [[zine]]

• [[zine]]:
  • [[bella burup]]
  • [[lady burup]]

• I [[whistled]]:
  • and then used [[spectroid]]
  • and played the [[piano]] :)
  • a very fun combination

• [[don’t worry eat curry]]

2024-08-03

• 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.
• [[Hzian]]

• I found [[burning chrome]] and I thought it could be a good Agora demo node.
  • It links to [[burning chromium]], which I started (barely) long ago and I immediately felt like continuing/fixing up :)
• [[Work]] was alright — I did what [[bobby lyte]] does and tried to do the day’s worth of work in one hour, and it sort of worked believe it or not
• I posted about the [[magnetic projector]] I made to the [[Fediverse]] :)
• I had an amazing meeting with [[Eduardo Mercovich]] about the [[Fediverse]], the [[Web]], and [[Sutty]] and the [[Agora]] and [[Confluencia]].
• I [[flowed]] :)
