I really want to get rid of this notion of "project" and focus on the day to day creation, the wips, the failure, because I mostly never finish project because of lack of time or ressources and I don't want those things to get lost like a los certainly did
Wrote a blog post about using syslinux to run a BIOS flasher on my Lenovo Thinkpad x220 #thinkpad https://desttinghim.gitlab.io/post/2019-08-14-syslinux/

Just a general warning to anyone who uses #paypal -- never keep a balance in your account. They terminated the account I was using for @TShirtsBot and also for consulting work. They froze the money in my account for 3 months and refused to give me any reason why even after talking to someone on the phone.

@jordan31@fosstodon.org @dthompson I'm pretty sure I've seen that for men at least.
@leroycepearson Agreed. Object capabilities are really cool, wish it was implemented for more systems.
Saw a bunch of toots referencing the land of #lisp. I own a copy, so I decided to open it up. I translated the basic #text #adventure in chapters 5 & 6 into #guile. It was surprisingly easy!
Packaged a library for #guix. It's an audio DSP library written in C https://paulbatchelor.github.io/proj/soundpipe.html
@kmicu You're welcome! Reading often helps me solve a problem before I need to ask someone else.
Not to mention having offline documentation means I can work without having internet, which is more common than you would think.
Online documentation means I often get distracted by everything else the internet has to offer before I find the answer to my question. Which is probably my problem, it is nice that I can avoid it.
For some reason I didn't know that the #GNU project had really useful offline #documentation until I installed #guix. I really appreciate being able `info guix` and get a really useful manual. This needs to be more commo
@musicmatze@mastodon.technology This looks super cool! I've always wanted a tool for putting issues in a git repo
Writing a toot from the command line using #toot. Didn't know I needed this.
@sir I was mostly talking about how they build things and find dependencies. As far as I know, both have the same ugly mess
