  1. De vez em quando, pesquiso sobre programas para #Linux, tanto pelo nome, quanto pela categoria, e, infelizmente, tenho notado que a produção de conteúdo cessou há cerca de 10 ou 20 anos.

    Deparo-me com artigos dos sites Linux.com e OpenSource.com. O primeiro mudou de foco, o segundo foi desidratado pela empresa do chapéu vermelho e parou de publicar.

    Com uma variedade imensa de ambientes, toolkits e possibilidades, eu acho lamentável reduzir o desktop Linux a um punhado de applets e um ou mais navegadores Web. Não só lamentável, mas perigoso.

    Minha busca começou de forma ingênua: decidi pesquisar outliners para Linux, para ver o que apareceria, já que usei o #NoteCase no passado e hoje sigo com #CherryTree e #TreeLine (este último mescla a árvore de um outliner com campos tipificados para uma entrada estruturada de diferentes dados). Não fiquei impressionado.

    Não acho que é preciso ser hipócrita e negar as transformações que aconteceram nas últimas décadas, mas, ao mesmo tempo, não acho que o desktop precisa ser um terminal quase burro para aplicativos que rodam em computadores alheios, com exceções pontuais.

  2. Cherry: The Final Flowering

    April is always a strange time here in our particular corner of the PNW where our house seems to sit in its own tiny pocket of micro-climate. We have what I believe is the last-to-bloom cherry tree in Seattle.

    Three days ago the tree was bare and the sky brilliant blue. Two days ago we had thunder, lightning, hail…and a waterspout over Puget Sound. Waterspout sounds sort of cute ad friendly, doesn’t it? It’s not. It’s a tornado over water—you do not want to encounter one if you’re in a boat. (Both these images are screen grabs from local news video—like the cats, I was very sensibly safe indoors; sorry for the poor quality.)

    Yesterday? The cherry tree decided, Okay, the weather has thrown its final spring curveball, safe to bloom! And so it did.

    Every year the speed of change surprises me. One day nothing—no leaves, no flowers—then one morning buds with tiny pink frills peeking from the tips. Then, hours or days later (always unexpected), spang! Leaves and flowers at once. Within a week the whole tree will look like a puff of cotton candy; three of four days after that they’ll all fall off and turn the lawn into a pink carpet. For days the cats will come home covered in petals, tracking them everywhere. Sadly (for us—Kelley really likes cherries), despite all the flowering there will be no fruit. There never is. I don’t know why. The tree is at least 25 years old, so it’s not a question of age. I don’t think it’s a nutrient or sunlight issue, either. I think our cherry just doesn’t have any suitable friends close enough to cross-pollinate.

    Perhaps one day someone will plant something compatible, and one day there will be tiny little cherry trees springing up all over. Until then, the birds love the tree. The cats love the tree. And I love the tree. It seems content.

  5. The cherry tree at my Ueno smoking spot is finally blooming!

  6. Well, who would have believed that the cherry would have so many days of warmth, and even shrug off a night of 30F to bloom completely, and look like this? This is 4 days after the previous post.

    It was so full that the wind was actually taking some of the blossoms down, like gentle white rain.

    Tomorrow/Tuesday are going to be crazy windy and cold days, so I expect it may look very different then. But so pleased to see it now.
