By the powers I hate fuzzy search. It just makes your search box into one big "I think I'm lucky" field of no good use.

Fuzzy search makes sense when exploring, but not for *finding* stuff!

I'm really looking forward to an abundance of #textual tutorials showing different ways to use the module. I'm having a really hard time with the official documentation, and how I can refactor my current code to use #textual.

Work is really breaking me these days. Was sick thu and fri last week, and the first three days this weeks meetings has been a complete gladiator fight for me as a result.

(I am having too much fun!)

This song appears to be a playful and whimsical piece that uses imaginative language and concepts to evoke a sense of wonder and delight. The lyrics describe a world where individuals who can clap have a home in "Klappeland." The mention of baking pretzels and Christmas presents on a "question street" suggests a fantastical setting where anything is possible.

Continuing my #hyprland journery, I have now set up #Waybar and #vim to my liking. I was looking at a lighter note-taking tool (after having used #obsidian [1] in the past) and are now getting to know #vimwiki

If nothing catastrophic happens I may get 2-5 more years out of this 2011 laptop.

[1] Yes, I know vim-wiki is not an obsidian.md replacement, but I'm just looking for quick and simple linked notes.
