1 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Entry: 2023-11-06
3 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Given the error margin of 24 hours, it's been precicely 3 months since I
4 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa last wrote here. You can't really tell, however, because among other
5 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa things I nuked the news/ directory and feed.ass file. The only news
6 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa source here now is .plan (and plan.txt). To see if I made any changes
7 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa you can do something like this:
9 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa $ $some_cool_network_client "$@" | grep '^Entry: '
11 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa The art/ directory has been changed as well: I've updated and removed
12 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa some old articles, and changed the file names like so:
14 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa 000.the_first_file.txt
15 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa 001.the_second_file.txt
17 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa The ordering is somewhat arbitrary now, because I don't remember what
18 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa order I actually wrote them in. Also, this scheme totally fails if I
19 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa end up writing more than 1000 of those, but in such case I will have
20 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa to start using several directories anyway.
22 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa The site now also serves files over gemini. There's no git/ directory
23 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa yet because to my knowledge, there isn't a gemini-git-interface
24 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa program yet, and I didn't manage to write one in half an hour. :)
26 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa And one more bit of news: I'll be retiring the git protocol "soon",
27 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa so in future there'll only be anonymous ssh access to my repos.
28 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Probably not this year, though.
31 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Entry: 2023-11-08
33 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Yesterday (2023-11-07) I've had some fun with VMM and VNC. Finished
34 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa the article today: art/010.x11_isolation.txt.
37 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Entry: 2023-11-09
39 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa I drew a thing! Such excitement for that might sound strange coming
40 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa from a 23-years-old man -- I know that it might because when I
41 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa studied at university there were a few people surprised to learn that
42 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa I don't draw things. I now sometimes sketch things in my notebook,
43 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa usually when I am bored, but can't/don't want to read a book, and a
44 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa few of them look decent. That's probably my first decent digital
47 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa It's an ouroboros made with bitmap(1), it's on ftp at
48 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa /pub/bitmaps/ouroboros{,.png}. The png version now decorates my
49 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa stagit pages (rather than the old 'aa' logo).
52 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Entry: 2023-11-10
54 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Finished probably the last article for a while:
55 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa art/011.building_this_site.txt; also added my geek code (but not to
56 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa .plan, only to index.{gph,gmi,html}).
59 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Entry: 2023-11-16
61 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa This weekend (2023-11-18 and 19), I'll be doing more stupid
62 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa incompatible changes to the site. Most services will be unavailable
63 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa for some time, and after you may have to update some URLs.
66 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Entry: 2023-11-18
68 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Finished most of the changes that I wanted to do: that moved most
69 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa files and directories into usr/aa/, and changed the canonical URL to
70 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa manpager.org (that's the fifth :|; I am planning to keep
71 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa manpager.net, and alearx.org permanently aliased to it, however).
72 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Unfortunately, that's about as much as I am willing to do at the
73 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa moment, so there's once again to gopher/www/gemini interface to git.
74 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa That's all right: I'll make proper description files for my projects
75 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa before Monday, and probably figure something out with git next
79 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa Entry: 2023-12-31
83 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa 1. There is now a "thoughs" directory at my directory on the
84 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa {web,gopher,gemini} site. See
85 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa https://manpager.org/usr/aa/thoughs/000000.intro.txt.
86 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa 2. I completely rewrote gpm in perl. There are lots of improvements.
87 6e29270a 2024-04-27 aa See the CHANGES file.
