• The [[Emacs Carnival]] for November is on the topic of [[org-babel]].
  • I have some good stuff to talk about there.
  • I'll get started on the post earlier this time…

2025-10-31

• I managed to cobble together a post for the October [[Emacs carnival]]: [[Emacs Carnival: Praise the patchers]].

2025-10-30

• I foolishly ran pkg update in [[termux]]. Emacs went from 29 to 30. Now Doom won't start.
  • Will a doom sync fix it? Stay tuned…
  • Well what do you know, it seems fine so far!

• [[journals]] fix warrants celebratory noding
• Listening to [[the story of civilization]] by [[wil durant]] via huge playlist
  • Learning history in that way feels very interesting
    • A compromise between encyclopedic knowledge and a more narrative style
  • It's also strange given the ways that I currently consume history are sort of wiki-based
  • Very huge undertaking to get through all of that
  • [[go]] https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLax23j-7EInW5aUHMjTqQ3uzs5rE0WP64
• Still learning some [[tidalcycles]]
  • Trying to implement some event highlighting on [[emacs]]
    • Inspired by the [[neovim]] highlighting package
  • [[toplap]] manifesto in the docs has a great line¹

• [[Emacs blog carnival: Maintenance]]

• Yesterday I implemented 'star nodes' and fixed a bunch of stuff in the Agora with Gemini and it felt great :)
  • I was able to do this in parallel while I kept working (day job related) into the end of night; I enjoy this pairing.
  • I use two different computers in two different desks and I walk to and fro, which helps a lot.
• Today it's day 1/2 of my team's global virtual summit (exploiting daylight savings [[chaos week]]); this brings an end to summit season, which has been intense!
• Plan to see [[KM]] after work :)

• I'm back to noding on this computer; and now I think about it, it's kind of curious I don't do it this often given that on workdays this is the computer I spent the most time on, by far!
  • By this I mean [[Guanyin]], one of my laptops, provided by [[Google]].

• [[KM]] :)
• Planning a trip to Italy!
• Also trying to advance today:
  • [[work]]
  • [[social.coop]]
  • [[agora]] development questions, like: how exactly to prioritize all the features and bug fixes I have backlogged with the ground level/key refactor between [[agora server]] and [[agora bridge]].
• Doing [[tab cleanup]] here in [[tara]] (my personal development computer) after a while, I thought (and posted) about [[gamification]].

• [[The electronic left]]
  • I enjoy this, as a term. Has a pleasingly 90s feel to it.
• Bookmarks
  • Technodiversity, permacomputing and anticapitalism | Critical Switch
    • [[Permacomputing]], [[Anti-capitalism]]

• [[79]]:
  • I was unsure what number I had associated [[Sadhana]] with, but today I saw it in the whiteboard.
  • It was the first prime that seemed "available" on a certain date :) And I think it still is; next up [[83]] is currently yours truly (as I was born on that year), then we only have [[89]], [[91]] and [[97]] left before the hundreds.
  • Before it, I thought [[37]] could be it as I currently associate it with [[Yoga]] which is also a [[spiritual practice]].
• I worked until late and enjoyed it.
• Attended an [[AI summit]] Tue-Thu and I enjoyed it quite a bit! Today I was a bit low energy as I slept only five hours (exceptional occasion) but overall the week was great so far. Actually looking forward to working tomorrow.
• [[KM]]
• [[Macedonio Fernández]]

• Learned about [[strudel]]
  • A very interesting music coding browser enviroment
  • Based on [[tidalcycles]] which itself is based on [[supercollider]]
    • Yet another reason to learn haskell for the greater good?
  • I like how visual it is! Seems perfect for [[algoraves]] and such
  • [[go]] https://strudel.cc/

• [[Moloch's bargain]]

• I'm back!
  • (says the guy who's back all the time...)
• My [[todo]] list for this 'long weekend':
  • Book hotel in [[Turkey]].
  • Order [[tea]].
  • Read [[El museo de la novela de la eterna]]
• [[97]]

• Most of what I write in the Agora nowadays seems to be [[poems]] :)
• Aside from that I've been mostly focusing on [[Agora development]] when I dedicate time to the #Agora directly.
• I have been enjoying the addition of AI to the developer's toolset, have been going through bug fixes and old wishlist items with much more speed. I am thankful for the opportunity.
• In other news I am happy with [[Lady Burup]] and [[KM]] and life in general!
• I have also been dedicating a large amount of time to work and trying to enjoy it, to more success than before.

• Go go
  • Go beyond
  • Everybody gone to the other shore
• Go free
  • Go kindly
  • If you have to #go, [[go kindly]]!

• Life is beautiful.
  • I am sorry for the oppressed at the same time I cherish highly my level of privilege and enjoyment; this much is true. What I do for them is probably inefficient and insufficient; I will try to do better.

As I write this on [[2025-09-27]] I am surrounded by happiness in the company of [[Lady Burup]] and [[KM]]. I am deeply thankful for what I get to live.

After work I usually code until late, with two AIs in two computers in two different desks, and play around the house with ~5 other computers and conscious beings.

• Had a beautiful weekend with [[KM]]!
• Went to [[PDL]]'s and [[Sabi]]'s birthday by the lake yesterday.
• [[Flancia meet]] with [[bouncepaw]]
  • [[John Wilkins]] sounds like [[John Forkings]] in Russian.
  • [[The Door Game]].

• [[Notes on how I use org-mode for work and life]]

• [[KM]] :)
• Then work, which was fine.
• Then [[Fellowship of the Link]].
  • With [[Shawn Murphy]]!

• Been doing a lot of AI-assisted coding at work and after work and it's been great!
  • Even current-day AI adds a lot of value for coders. Like: a lot.
