A collection of thoughts and experiments that at one point occupied my time,
some still do. These are the things happening in my idle cycles.
I
just sent
a patch out and thought I might try a thorough breakdown of not
just the how but the why as well. I've been interested in writing up
something like this as a demonstration of how I like working and
documenting my work.
I've been using sourcehut more
regularly to the point that I have a pretty good sense of
things. Unlike similar services — I've found the more I use it, the
more I like it.
We're very nearly to December which means Advent of Code will be
starting up again. I, of course, haven't finished up 2018's Advent
of Code. I'm only on day 7 at this point, which means my projection
of completing in 2021 isn't looking so good. Now seems as good a
time as any to muddle through another puzzle!
I noticed something wrong with my local system monitoring scripts
and spent some time rewriting a few pieces. I've stripped out some
of the extraneous pieces after a few years of no updates to the
thing.
It wouldn't be right to pick on Firefox all the time, so here I
document bugginess within another program I have to use frequently,
Slack.
Noodling on a different software I've wanted to write at one point
or another I've been considering about how I'd design one specific
kind of application; the manual test case management system.
I got to reading about different methods of calculating Pi and
couldn't resist implementing at least one in J.
A bit disheartening but Mozilla has pushed out a new release for
Firefox on Android and I find myself once again befuddled by the
number of bugs.
A real world use case for an interesting Nginx configuration
presented itself recently. Some notes on proxying multiple non-HTTP
sites and servers on one machine.
A silly interview challenge posed to me recently — implement an
optimal hangman player. I thought it would be fun to try it out in
Emacs Lisp.
