It's been a while since I've written a post, but that doesn't mean I've been idle. I really like the idea of the separation involved with running things in containers. Until now, I accomplished this using Docker and Docker Compose. After sp…

This year is my third year submitting tax forms that were filled out programmatically with Emacs. There is way too much to cover in one blog post, so I will be glossing over things. As usual, the source code is available on Codeberg1 for pe…
I use Org for many things, two of which are managing appointments and tracking my paid time off. I just learned about Emacs' Diary package from one of Protesilaos Stavrou's videos1, and decided to see if moving my appointments and holidays
After looking through Mastodon the other day I stumbled upon an old post by Tony Aldon about making Org hyperlinks to git repositories and opening them in Magit. I have this weird thing where when I see people make things for Magit, I try t…
The other night I had a dream. In this dream, I was talking with a fictitious colleague about the merits of Confluence as an information management system. The conversation began with pleasantries, but as soon as it turned to information ma…

Inspired by a post on general website improvements and a post on enhancing website longevity, neither of which I can now find, I made some changes to my website! While I was at it, I finally decided to make some minor accessibility changes
This post is a bit late, but I've moved all of my code from GitLab to Codeberg. I've been thinking about moving to a different platform for a while now, and while I like the idea of Source Hut a little better, I ultimately chose Codeberg be…
After maybe 8 hours of distracted effort, my website now builds its comments from webmentions instead of using Cusdis. This was a bit of a feat, as I didn't even know what webmentions were before a couple weeks ago. For the similarly uninit…
Probably three years ago now I got into the hobby of foraging for fungi. I've managed to find chicken of the woods, puffballs, a couple varieties of oyster, and most recently wood ear in my area. I've heard whispers of the coveted morel, bu…
