Judging by the number of "breaks" I've been taking all afternoon, I seem to be a bit irked and anxious about my writing -->revising -->formatting -->publishing workflow.
Seems unnecessarily clunky and cumbersome(this also includes the sudden, inexplicable loss of any spelling ability I may have, previously, possessed).
Hopefully, this year, I can improve on the process.

Even one papercut healed, can be a reasonable cause for celebration.
Let's celebrate. 🎉
Happy Friday! -
Traditionally, #Xfce is newsworthy perhaps once every other year.
It's part of the reason I've been using it for 20+ years and volunteering with the project for...um *cough* 13+(!) years. Quiet, stable, predicatble. Boring, even. I prefer that in my Desktop Environment.
It's not even the end of January and we've already had one big announcement with #Xfwl4 and there are probably two more on the way this year:
1. The initial development release of Xfwl4 sometime mid-year.
2. The probable release of Xfce4 4.22 in December(Our release roadmap still needs to be updated, real soon now).I hope that I handle this much Xfce excitement this year. 🤣 🚀

Walter Matthau is my grumpy #SpiritAnimal this week.

Guess my little mid-winter mini sabbatical from #Xfce is officially over.
Time to catch up on the latest progress. 😆Nice to see this announcement come through today.
Especially nice to see a burst in financial donations coming in to help support the initiative with building out #Xfwl4
It's really heartening to see the support from the community. Thank you!

Fuckin' brilliant!
On the one hand, I feel like kind of an idiot for absentmindedly neglecting to read this
book at any time over the past decades. On the other: what delightful surprise to find this week.I'm now curious to watch what my reactions will be when I re-watch Kubrick's version.
Richer? Poorer? We shall see....I'm just glad this book has waited so patiently for me until now.
Happy belated 29th(or 34th) birthday HAL, you psychotic beastie!

I can't see them; but, I sure as hell can hear them.
Don't know if we're in a bit of a false Spring.
The little birdies have been out, raging, up in the trees just off my deck for the past two days. -
Fun romp of an essay from Pynchon!
No real surprise that he was kinda down with the Luddites 40 years ago. Thanks for sharing. I'd never read this before."As the Liberty lads o'er the sea
Bought their freedom, and cheaply, with blood,
So we, boys, we
Will die fighting, or live free,
And down with all kings but King Ludd! " -
Just watched a really wonderful, and touching #documentary of groundbreaking #AvantGarde sorta #surrealist filmmaker Maya Deren, "In the Mirror of Maya Deren" [2003].
She was a Russian/Jewish and American experimental filmmaker and important part of the avant-garde in the 1940s and 1950s. In my opinion, probably one of the more important women behind the camera in the early days of cinema.
Given some recognition (and budget), I honestly think she could have rivaled Cocteau with his Orpheus films. Just wonderful stuff.
At the very least, hunt down "Meshes of the Afternoon" for a taste of her work. Highly recommend.
Music by John Zorn as a bonus.

Meatspace is weird.
Drove out to a ranch house in the suburbs, yesterday, for a friend's one-year old's birthday.Turns out pretty much all of the 20-ish adults, plus a couple semi-feral children, were complete introverts and struggled to make eye-contact with anyone.
Along with the birthday-guest's parents, there were at least two polycule/throuples mixed in with some "traditional" relatives flown in from out of state.I had a great time bonding with the birthday girl and the 82 year old mother of the host. But, man, I've never been around such a group of people actively avoiding conversation. 🤣
As a general recluse, I felt like an exhibitionist there! Good times.

Growing up outside of #NYC in the '70's, pre #CableTV, I'm thankful for independant channels and syndication. Not counting UHF, we only had 7 channels:
NEW YORK CITY
[2] WCBS-TV (CBS)
[4] WNBC-TV (NBC)
[5] WNEW-TV (Ind.)
[7] WABC-TV (ABC)
[9] WOR-TV (Ind.)
[11] WPIX-TV (Ind.)
[13] WNDT-TV (NET)Channel 13 was, IIRC, PBS, CFPB(i.e. Electric Company, Sesame Street, Zoom, Dr. Who, and all that icky adult stuff).
But for me, the independent channels(5, 9, and 11) was a abundant cultural banquet. It exposed me ~40 years of "classic" cartoons(non-stop Warner Bros, Looney Tunes(even the "bad" ones!!), B-movie #sci-fi & Japanese monster movies (#Kaiju), along with weird shit I didn't understand like the Uncle Floyd Show, and Joe Franklin.
Once cable came along, some diversity was lost. Even with 100 more channels, it became harder to stumble upon a 3 Stooges film, some random western, or "Tarantula"! & "The Amazing Collosal Man" for the 500th time.
The terrain got larger; but, the land became slightly more barren. YMMV -
Looks like #pyenv releases will now be more closely in sync with #CPython releases thanks to some newly implemented automation. That's great news!
Thanks to the devs for making this happen.

Reviewing some of the the basics.
A function, min, for finding the smallest number in a list.
My first instinct was to look for a built-in `min` function. Failing that, I came across the
`slices` package(shown below in comments).

Another day, another trip to the doctor's office. *sigh*
Was barely half-awake and didn't have much time to scope out property grounds today.So, #Lichen it or not, this is what I've got:

At this point, I think I'm satisfied with the vim-go plugin providing me with a stoopid simple template for prototyping very basic example programs.
It's definitely not a #REPL like I'm used to with #Python or running from the #CLI; but, it's a bit of a useful workflow to get started. *shrug*
These keybindings help a bit:
```
augroup go
autocmd!
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.go setlocal
\ noexpandtab
\ tabstop=4
\ shiftwidth=4
autocmd FileType go nmap <leader>b :<C-u>call <SID>build_go_files()<CR>
autocmd FileType go nmap <leader>d <Plug>(go-doc)
autocmd FileType go nmap <leader>f <Plug>(go-fmt)
autocmd FileType go nmap <leader>i <Plug>(go-info)
autocmd FileType go nmap <leader>l <Plug>(go-lint)
autocmd FileType go nmap <leader>r <Plug>(go-run)
autocmd FileType go nmap <leader>v <Plug>(go-vet)
autocmd FileType go nmap <leader>t <Plug>(go-test)
autocmd FileType go nmap <Leader>c <Plug>(go-coverage-toggle)
augroup END
