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