Gothic Tinkerer

Writing Free Software in emacs. My other passions are cooking, fashion and photography. Enjoying dark and gloomy music, mostly darkwave, post-punk, goth-rock, and some metal. Trying to be an avid reader, currently a lot of Lem. Studying experimental physics. Progressive, obviously.

Fun things on mailing lists: Someone sending a mail with the list and themselves as recipient, but also having set up a "I am away for X days" auto-reply-thing, which replies to all recipients, which will continuously trigger itself.

And that's how my inbox suddenly has 40+ new mails in it...

@whynothugo also, why is infinitime using a vector graphics library? The target is a screen of a small and most-importantly known size. I would have preferred a pixel-oriented drawing library.

@whynothugo interesting. I have been mostly underwhelmed by mine, although that is more the fault of infinitime than the device itself.

I basically just wanted something to tinker with and create fun watchfaces, but that is needlessly complicated I found. The build setup alone was quite something last I've tried.

My main issue with infinitime is probably that it tries to be (or mimic) a smartwatch, rather than just accepting that the pinetime is merely a feature watch with a touch screen...

I really need anyone writing software or doing anything at all really to understand the following: If it is stupid but it works, then it is still just as stupid.
the DJ played that New Order remix from Blade in the club today, which is a good dance track, but I am not sure if I really want to feel like being part of the blood rave scene...
@flub that's how I started, but keeping it all in one file works better for me somehow
Guess who just hit a cable while mounting a clothes rack... the cable routing in this house is a mess
the great conundrum of whether to start a proper personal wiki or just stick to my enormously large org file...
Synths!

@ben Happy birthday!
