Apparently it's #mensday! I didn't know that until know.
My father has been a great force for good in my life. He taught me to be interested in learning, and a great deal more. I am thankful to have a dad who is still alive and who is active in my life. I am grateful for the sacrifices he made for his family.

Recently learned about #pipewire for linux. Sounds like an exciting development! Hope to see it replace the current audio stack. From what I've seen said by those smarter than I, it's currently kind of a mess. That's definitely been my experience in dealing with jack and pulseaudio.
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

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. #fuckpaypal
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
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
Writing a toot from the command line using #toot. Didn't know I needed this.
Self-taught programmer and game dev when I feel like it. Electronics Factory Operator when I don't.
