> GNOME bluefish
> omg hiiiiiii i keep meaning to write on here!!
> so i went to CANADA!!!! to visit my GIRLFRIEND!!!! it was bloody amazing and i had such a good time and i love her so much hehe
> Vancouver was so so pretty with all the cherry blossoms. not as pretty as my gf but still very pretty <3 just being able to spend time with my gf and go on cute dates and do things was so so nice. i had the best time ever.
> now im back in the EVIL cruel land of England. hate it. and im back at work. AND i've been sick. vile evil cruel world fukken hate it here just wanna be in my girlfriend's arms where i belong
> Lacking ginger root one may resort to ginger powder, though in a miso soup the powder is quite different, and maybe needs a little more of something else with the ginger powder.
> Like in many families, there's always a bit of.. turmoil and drama in FOSS. Something breaks (either on purpose or by accident), people get frustrated.. The usual. It is kind of to be expected when it comes to very social projects, like let's say, Linux desktop environments.
> People have their own visions and ways to see things. They often clash. That's normal. It's quite human. I do like to think that Linux desktop environments especially are like siblings that have rivalries.
> For reasons unknown I was pondering my morning routine during...my morning routine. This routine is not something I put any real concerted thought into and it's not set in stone. Just something I have arrived at organically I suppose but I do quite enjoy it.
> During the school year the day starts off with waking the kid(s), making breakfast, getting ready for the day and taking them to school on the bike. When I return home I make myself and my wife breakfast and coffee and see her off to work. After that I usually sit on the patio(sometimes the dining table inside) and drink another coffee, listen to the birds, read the latest gemini posts and play palmdle on my palm pilot
> I think this is a pretty good time to give an update on the current state. One of the goals is to provide starting points for people who want to understand the limitations and see how to get involved.
> Hey, everyone! I hope we have a bunch of new people in geminispace since the last time I wrote a post like this; it’s been a very long time since then after all.
> I would like to remind ew0k and the world that all my feeds were banned from Antenna four months ago, after ew0k put a rules block on my gemini domain (gem.librehacker.com). This was in response to my writing a conservative post criticizing Hamas and the Palestians. A few people stood up for me, but even after much attention on Antenna and BBS, the ban was never reversed.
> gmid ships with a "gg" script to get gemini resources, in the event that Lagrange was reported to have crashed when trying to download some MP3 or the other. Downside: gg does not support TOFU verification. There are various other scripts that can do the same, maybe git clone
> Back into 'Riscy' business ;-) The news of the recent release of RiscOS 5.30 brought back a sudden urge to again try out this dinosaur of an operating system as an daily driver again.
> The setup process was easy as usual (you can find more details in an article in the "computer stuff" section of this phlog - it hasn't changed anything). Well, after about 15 minutes from downloading to flashing to wiring my trusty Raspberry Pi i had now again a working RiscOS system. After firing it up it took my only another 5 minutes until my muscle memory kicked in and i was using the system again like i had never stopped.
> I was curious about how fast Microsoft's BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) floating point [1] routines were. This is easy enough to test, now that I can time assembly code inside the assembler [2]. The code calculates -2Ï€^3/3! using Color BASIC routines, IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)-754 single precision and double precision.
Gemini (Primer) links can be opened using Gemini software. It's like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter.
