Today's computer touching lesson is a reminder to myself not to add anything to a config file which I do not fully understand:
Somewhere along my rambling path to setting up vi/nvi, I managed to borrow a setting which disabled soft wrapped lines.
It turns out removing `set leftright` lets me enjoy a world where lines can be longer than my screen. :)

Thanks to some long overdue #TechnicalJiggeryPokery, I now know way more about networks than I ever planned on learning.
I've also apparently found the "What's a VLAN?" to "I have over a dozen hostname.if files" pipeline.

Coders of the fedi, lend me your advice:
Now that my coding apprenticeship is almost certainly torpedoed, I'm going to have to find _yet_ another way to become a coder. I'm not going to give up, if I have to do it on my own, so be it.
Advise me on your best coding courses that are reasonably priced. I'm looking at C/ C# / (?) Fairly lowish level languages to learn to get a broad understanding. Tia

One of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me was: "You make me want to go learn stuff." When I write, I hope I can inspire other people to want to learn stuff, too.

I had to avoid screens for a bit yesterday, and one of my partners helpfully reminded me that #gelplate printing was a fine way to pass the time.
I finally started having some success transferring images, in this case ink brush doodlings on paper made their way to the plate, and then to my paper without it being by accident.

I love learning new science vocab, and this is a good one: "blobs."

Got serious about #Learning #Spanish yesterday. Started out making #FlashCards using #Logseq's built-in capability, but what's up with the "You can run through the cards once a day" limitation?
Switched immediately to #Anki. Ah -- many good decks for language learning designed by others, free, easy to use, useful immediately.
(Also using podcasts, watching #StarTrek and #StarWars in Spanish, and finding a tutor for conversations.)

GeckoEdit.com is 3 years old today! I'm celebrating by curling up with my freshly delivered copy of Amy J Schneider's The Chicago Guide to Copyediting Fiction because I'm a big old nerd, she's awesome, and I've been waiting for it for aaages. This thing is worth its weight in gold. You can get digital copies now from Chicago Press, or preorder the paperback version, which comes out next month: https://bit.ly/3IeeOq7

A couple years ago when I started teaching myself #GoLanguage programming I bought Writing an Interpreter in Go by @mrnugget (https://interpreterbook.com). I learned a lot about interpreters and about Go programming. Now I’m exploring #Rust programming with the help of Luca Palmieri’s Zero to Production in Rust book.

My acro partner has discovered a slew of new ways to torture me that she insists are some sort of diabolical training torture she calls "fun".
Expecting to make new weird noises in our clown video chats during the coming weeks.
