i brew beer now, professionally, so that’s fun. and i’m better mentally, so i can’t complain

it’s been a long time… but i’m gonna start writing here again

#now-playing ‘All Mirrors’ by Angel Olsen https://angelolsen.bandcamp.com/album/all-mirrors

the concert in the middle of campus was so loud that I could hear it at the brewery, a few miles out

happy birthday ~town! 🎂🎂🎂

also put the both longer.html and shorter.html on the gopherhole in text form

added some more stuff to https://tilde.town/~mox/longer.html

@freemor @mdosch yeah, i’ve seen terminus around! also a good option…

been messing around with the fonts in my terminal… ‘source code’ and ‘input’ are two i’m trying to decide between

#now-playing ‘Curse These Metal Hands’ by Conjurer and Pijn https://conjureruk.bandcamp.com/album/curse-these-metal-hands

just finished the ‘It Could Happen Here’ podcast… i highly recommend it, required listening for the current political climate https://www.itcouldhappenherepod.com/

#now-playing ‘i,i’ by Bon Iver https://boniver.bandcamp.com/album/i-i

we did it. the new audio board is in FM and is now on air. so much led up to this. https://wuvt.vt.edu

@mdosch@mdosch.de thanks! i’ll take a look!

@mdosch@mdosch.de that would be great! i thought i had the audio working for a second but then i didn’t

@mdosch@mdosch.de still trying to sort some things out with that setup tho (adjusting brightness, volume, suspending, etc) so it might be a lil while until i’m fully moved over

@mdosch@mdosch.de yeah i love how little i touch the mouse/touchpad when i’m on i3

i just started using i3 (i3-gaps) on my laptop and holy shit this is so wonderful… i had no idea tiling WMs were so amazing but i’m never going back

didn’t think i’d enjoy a stout so much in this heat but here we are…

@coma@tilde.town welcome to twtxt!

#now-reading ‘Economics: The User’s Guide’ by Ha-Joon Chang

drinking a ‘Mas Agave’ from Founder’s Brewing Co. http://0x0.st/sna … tastes just like a margarita

glad to be home after a long shift

updated my twtxt.txt file! now i have a header

i finally have a vacation this weekend… they don’t come often anymore so i can’t wait

i really like the music that comes thru on bandcamp daily https://daily.bandcamp.com/2019/07/01/best-new-ambient-on-bandcamp-june-2019/

#now-playing ‘wander into’ by ann annie https://annannie.bandcamp.com/album/wander-into

#now-playing ‘Common Era’ by Belong https://belong.bandcamp.com/album/common-era

i’m really kinda obsessed with that Turnover album

#now-playing ‘Flying Saucer Attack’ by Flying Saucer Attack https://flyingsaucerattack.bandcamp.com/album/flying-saucer-attack-aka-rural-pyschedelia

#now-playing ‘Peripheral Vision’ by Turnover https://turnover.bandcamp.com/album/peripheral-vision

#now-playing ‘Western Front’ by Dial https://dial.bandcamp.com/album/dial-western-front

things have quieted down here but i’m working all the time

it’s been a while…

i wanna go camping

#now-playing ‘are SING SINCK, SING’ by SING SINCK, SING https://singsincksing.bandcamp.com/

going without was fun and all, but i’m glad to have something to use again

finally twting from my new laptop!

i think my personal wellbeing is starting to slip… piles of laundry need to be done and dishes crowd my desk

despite the temporary break of last weekend, i still feel like i’ve been going at full power

my no-laptop experiment is still going alright… although i’m kind of just excited to start messing around with my new one when it comes

#now-reading ‘The Age of Surveillance Capitalism’ by Shoshana Zuboff

i was less productive today. i’m trying not to internalize it as “i’m not doing good enough today”

#now-playing ‘SASAMI’ by SASAMI https://sasami.bandcamp.com/album/sasami

idk if this level of productivity is happening beacuse of or in spite of not having a laptop but it sure makes me wonder if i really need one

i’ve been insanely productive this week… usually my manic states don’t go on for this long but we’re pushing three days

#now-reading ‘The Uninhabitable Earth - Life After Warming’ by David Wallace-Wells

so far i’ve devoted a lot more time to reading…

my only interactions with the digital world will be through my raspi, my old fossil of a desktop, and any public use computers i can find around campus

most of my professors prefer that students leave computers in backpacks anyway so it’s not like classes will be harder

i’m going without a laptop for a week… i’m really excited about it and day 1 was great so far

#now-playing ‘Cast’ by Perfect Son https://open.spotify.com/album/64VPkIULc4lgIOZ1845vgg?si=UGSy7m7xRtOWTo45XgnNRA

#now-playing ‘Blue Record’ by Baroness https://baroness.bandcamp.com/album/blue-record-deluxe-version

but i still feel like i’m not super good at directing all this productive energy that i now have towards actual school

i feel like i’ve been getting a lot more done with the radio station than i ever have been able to do…

and why am i only finding out about them all just now?

why are there so many decentralized social media projects that aren’t well known and haven’t been worked on in a few years

#now-playing ‘22, A Million’ by Bon Iver https://boniver.bandcamp.com/album/22-a-million

i’m happier when it’s easier for me to pick up and leave

i’m gonna give away a bunch of my stuff again

god i’m so behind on my journaling

#now-playing ‘Vattnet Viskar’ by Vattnet Viskar https://vattnetviskar.bandcamp.com/

#now-playing ‘Honey’ by Peals https://friendsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/honey

#now-reading ‘Barracoon’ by Zora Neale Hurston

so it just updates regularly now

it seemed like the static twtfile setup i used for ‘moon’ fucked with twtxt caching…

finally streamlined my bots that i host on tilde town

at least most of my classes are genuinely interesting to me, that’ll help

i think it’s going to take some time before i can actually Do School again…

#now-playing ‘Better Oblivion Community Center’ by Better Oblivion Community Center http://0x0.st/s4b

#now-playing ‘The Long Walk’ by Uniform https://unifuckingform.bandcamp.com/album/the-long-walk

finally back in the studios… i’ve been off the air for too long

it did! i guess. the date format is different though

okay let’s see if this works

txtnish seems nice i’m gonna try that instead
