An Inhabitant of Carcosa

This is my Gemini log (gemlog? nilog?). I've had it for a while, but haven't kept it up to date much. I'm going to try to do better. The theme of this journal is "stuff that isn't polished enough or generally-interesting enough for my [weblog]", and isn't on-theme enough for [President Xi, Send The Nukes]. It isn't purely technical, or purely Gemini-focused, but I'm making no attempt to *avoid* those topics, like I do in Send The Nukes.
