week 29; 2022

Hey there! It’s me, chee rabbits.

First, a little housekeeping: sofia called crackers “salad cookies” and then two days later called a taxidermy museum “a museum for dry animals”.

not much to report during the week. very busy, very sleepy!

We went out on a big walk. We were planning on going to a park but by the time our preparations[1] were done it was already dark and they closed the park. We walked down this long strange path and drank tequila and laughed.

stones — lol my shoes are fucked

Went to a burrito place I’d misjudged and ate a rly good burrito and drank corona cubano. The bathroom floor was a slippery swamp of piss and shit but it was a lovely restaurant and I want to go back.

Today it’s international tequila day so we will make margaritas. Hopefully we can get a bottle of OCHO.

I’ve written a lot of code this week. Lots of lisp and lots of zig and some shell. I also occasionally did my job. you know i’ve been making websites for like 20 years now. it’s 2 decades since i wrote my habbo hotel hacking client and turned invisible and sabotaged some furni races (i know, absolute bobba behaviour) and was in a room (on habbo hotel) with the sonicmouse and met the hobba foohfooh was given the name “chee”.

“the alpha and the omega” in english is “the a and the z” which isn’t cool but in ASCII it’s “the NUL and the DEL” which is cool. “I am the NUL and the DEL, the beginning and the EOF. to the thirsty i will give from the fountain of life oωo.”

back on emacs

i’m back on emacs full time. my emacs config is a wild thing that has grown over a decade and a half. my whole system is configured by literate programming with org-babel. That’s right, baby: literate dotfiles. I call ‘em docfiles. I’d really love to do an entire real project like this. It’s so powerful and so nice to be able to document the code write where it is, and keep bits that are relevant to each other next to each other even if they belong to different parts of the codebase. Like, you can write about the interface and use of the interface along side the code for both in the same document but output the code to lib/ and src/ during the “tangle” phase. It’s so cool. Maybe i should build a modern markdown-based literate programming tool. Maybe i already did that, did i? i started, but i don’t know if i accidentally threw that code away when i accidentally threw away a bunch of my repos last year when moving back to github :) :) :)

chee.party

I switched from chee.party to chee.party because the party gTLD has a deal where you can buy any number of years for about $5 each right now so i have chee.party until the year 2032. email me at yay@chee.party. if you see a reference to chee.party or chee.party somewhere could you tell me? so i can change it to chee.party? thank u x

you can’t know what the decade is like while you’re in it because lots of stuff is new and but some of it sticks around, it’s the new stuff that doesn’t stick that defines a period

risc architecture really has changed everything

week 28; 2022

Sometimes the only thing between you and total desolation is a fortune cookie

My first week here has been nice. Hard sometimes, mostly because I’ve been sick a lot. I had that flu then later in the week I started vomiting bile. We drank ocho tequila in a little bar and it started to rain and we had to run inside and it was a lovely afternoon. We went shopping for clothes and that was a lovely day. We keep coming home with the intention of getting drunk and having a big fun night but then we just curl up in bed and immediately fall asleep.

I made a chili con carne tonight. It’s delicious.

I looked everywhere in el supermercado for cumin and oregano and couldn’t find any.

i bought some chili powder, the only kind there was. when i got home, i learned that in fact the chili powder had cumin and oregano and sweet paprika and pimento jajaja

it’s chili con carne powder‼️ jajaja

There’s been thunder and lightning all week and rain and medium temps. It’s been lovely. Back in London the heat seems crazy. I hope everyone is keeping safe.

I’ve been enjoying the storms, I’ve recently started a new job and it’s been going good mostly though I feel frustrated that I don’t understand the data and I don’t know how to understand the data and I think everything would be a lot easier if it was easier to understand the data but I don’t know if I can change anything.

nothing much to report! just been recovering and occasionally shopping! ate some good barbacoa!!! good days, good nights, been good. been learning some Zig too! great language! really excited about it!!!

if the pre-commit hook takes more than 1 second you’re punishing people for small commits

think it’s time to take Zig seriously

you can ignore me, you can leave me, betray me, hell you can straight up kill me… but i ask you just this one thing: please, return my tuppers.
