Monday Posting, News, and Updates

Its been a few days and as with any new and exiting project if I don’t remind myself I enjoy it, it’ll disappear from my memory almost immediately. So, a Monday post.

I’ve been doing a better job of maintaining a routine recently. Simple things like tidying up before bed or checking my email in the morning. They feel (and are) really small, so if you skip one it doesn’t seem like you’re doing anything bad. But much like rememebering the projects or hobbies, a few skips and its to my brain its like it practically never happened.

Its one of the aims of this blog, as I think i said in the first post. Im hoping that organising my thoughts a little more in text might organise them a little more in neuron form.

Here’s a few little notes on some things for today:

Emacs

Like seeminly so many maintainers of small blogs, its written and posted from Emacs! I can’t remember exactly why I switched to emacs as my main editor, but knowing myself it was an attempt to be a little contrarian and not use what everyone else was using at work.

Little did i know, but emacs would perfectly mesh with my absolutely endless desire to tinker, and would of course constantly leave me with a broken editor to fix after too much fiddling.

I’ll probably post a little bit about config changes, but I am a complete neophyte compared to most.

Photography

A friend has been incredibly kind and lent me their Voightlander film camera to have a play with. I aboslutely adore photography, and used film cameras as a kid, but by the time I could afford to get into the hobby for myself I was wholly digital. I am immediately out of my depth! I think my partner is incredibly glad that for once I came home with a new toy and there isnt a dent in the budget…well until i need to buy film anyway.
