I put a piece of masking tape on my loom and wrote down the Forbes Tartan thread count so I could keep track. This project will require three complete passes.

@amerika Thank you! It's slow going but I'm really enjoying it all the same.

Whoever associated plaid with "ludicrous speed" wasn't a weaver.

Ownership isn't about possession, it's about control. When hackers "own" a computer, they don't physically have it, instead they compromised it so thoroughly that they have full remote control. If you physically have a computer, but someone else has control, they own it.

@jameshjacksonjr @purism Until we do, if I had to buy a car today, it would probably be a used one from before this kind of tracking was built in.

Warp status: weave gone to plaid. #weaving

Omicron? Isn't that the a mobile-friendly fork of anacron that also wakes up the phone for scheduled cron jobs when suspended?

@aral I wrote a couple of Linux Journal articles back in the day about wmctrl that you might find useful:

This is one reason why the shift from a trackpoint mouse to a touchpad wasn't as big a deal as I thought it would be, even though I used to be as die-hard about it as other Thinkpad users. I just don't use the mouse that much in either case.

I imagine folks that do everything from a web browser won't understand, but I can't stress how important keyboard-friendly UI is for speed. It's even more important with typing-heavy apps like chat. Every time my hand moves to a mouse it slows everything way down.

@ajmartinez Shift-Alt-Up/Down to navigate to rooms with recent activity and alt-up/down just to move between rooms in general. Full set of keybindings are in Settings->Preferences in a link you have to click under the "Keyboard shortcuts" header

I just discovered that at some point the Element Matrix client added keybindings to let you switch more easily to rooms with recent activity. This is an incredibly important feature to me (I try to avoid using my mouse) that's going to dramatically improve every work day.

@yaelwrites Of course! It's rusty!

@yaelwrites I'd like to think that I'm constantly adding improvements and bug fixes (and sadly sometimes regressions) to my version.

I've crossed another #weaving milestone: I now have an account on the Scottish Tartans Authority so I can get accurate tartan threadcount information.

@ajmartinez Much faster than I expected. The set up and finishing took about as much time as the actual weaving.

@cameron Thank you! I'm pleased with how it came out.

Now the scarf is off the loom and I just finished the edges. Now it just needs a hand wash and it will be done. #weaving
