i brew beer now, professionally, so that's fun. and i'm better mentally, so i can't complain

it's been a long time... but i'm gonna start writing here again

#now-playing 'All Mirrors' by Angel Olsen https://angelolsen.bandcamp.com/album/all-mirrors

the concert in the middle of campus was so loud that I could hear it at the brewery, a few miles out

happy birthday ~town! 🎂🎂🎂

also put the both longer.html and shorter.html on the gopherhole in text form

added some more stuff to https://tilde.town/~mox/longer.html

@freemor @mdosch yeah, i've seen terminus around! also a good option...

been messing around with the fonts in my terminal... 'source code' and 'input' are two i'm trying to decide between

#now-playing 'Curse These Metal Hands' by Conjurer and Pijn https://conjureruk.bandcamp.com/album/curse-these-metal-hands

just finished the 'It Could Happen Here' podcast... i highly recommend it, required listening for the current political climate https://www.itcouldhappenherepod.com/

#now-playing 'i,i' by Bon Iver https://boniver.bandcamp.com/album/i-i

we did it. the new audio board is in FM and is now on air. so much led up to this. https://wuvt.vt.edu

@mdosch thanks! i'll take a look!

@mdosch that would be great! i thought i had the audio working for a second but then i didn't

@mdosch still trying to sort some things out with that setup tho (adjusting brightness, volume, suspending, etc) so it might be a lil while until i'm fully moved over

@mdosch yeah i love how little i touch the mouse/touchpad when i'm on i3

i just started using i3 (i3-gaps) on my laptop and holy shit this is so wonderful... i had no idea tiling WMs were so amazing but i'm never going back

didn't think i'd enjoy a stout so much in this heat but here we are...

@coma welcome to twtxt!

#now-reading 'Economics: The User's Guide' by Ha-Joon Chang

drinking a 'Mas Agave' from Founder's Brewing Co. http://0x0.st/sna ... tastes just like a margarita

glad to be home after a long shift

updated my twtxt.txt file! now i have a header

i finally have a vacation this weekend... they don't come often anymore so i can't wait

i really like the music that comes thru on bandcamp daily https://daily.bandcamp.com/2019/07/01/best-new-ambient-on-bandcamp-june-2019/

#now-playing 'wander into' by ann annie https://annannie.bandcamp.com/album/wander-into

#now-playing 'Common Era' by Belong https://belong.bandcamp.com/album/common-era

i'm really kinda obsessed with that Turnover album

#now-playing 'Flying Saucer Attack' by Flying Saucer Attack https://flyingsaucerattack.bandcamp.com/album/flying-saucer-attack-aka-rural-pyschedelia

#now-playing 'Western Front' by Dial https://dial.bandcamp.com/album/dial-western-front

things have quieted down here but i'm working all the time

it's been a while...

i wanna go camping

#now-playing 'are SING SINCK, SING' by SING SINCK, SING https://singsincksing.bandcamp.com/

going without was fun and all, but i'm glad to have something to use again

finally twting from my new laptop!

i think my personal wellbeing is starting to slip... piles of laundry need to be done and dishes crowd my desk

despite the temporary break of last weekend, i still feel like i've been going at full power

my no-laptop experiment is still going alright... although i'm kind of just excited to start messing around with my new one when it comes

#now-reading 'The Age of Surveillance Capitalism' by Shoshana Zuboff

i was less productive today. i'm trying not to internalize it as "i'm not doing good enough today"

#now-playing 'SASAMI' by SASAMI https://sasami.bandcamp.com/album/sasami

idk if this level of productivity is happening beacuse of or in spite of not having a laptop but it sure makes me wonder if i really need one

i've been insanely productive this week... usually my manic states don't go on for this long but we're pushing three days

#now-reading 'The Uninhabitable Earth - Life After Warming' by David Wallace-Wells

so far i've devoted a lot more time to reading...

my only interactions with the digital world will be through my raspi, my old fossil of a desktop, and any public use computers i can find around campus

most of my professors prefer that students leave computers in backpacks anyway so it's not like classes will be harder

i'm going without a laptop for a week... i'm really excited about it and day 1 was great so far

#now-playing 'Cast' by Perfect Son https://open.spotify.com/album/64VPkIULc4lgIOZ1845vgg?si=UGSy7m7xRtOWTo45XgnNRA

#now-playing 'Blue Record' by Baroness https://baroness.bandcamp.com/album/blue-record-deluxe-version

but i still feel like i'm not super good at directing all this productive energy that i now have towards actual school

i feel like i've been getting a lot more done with the radio station than i ever have been able to do...

and why am i only finding out about them all just now?

why are there so many decentralized social media projects that aren't well known and haven't been worked on in a few years

#now-playing '22, A Million' by Bon Iver https://boniver.bandcamp.com/album/22-a-million

i'm happier when it's easier for me to pick up and leave

i'm gonna give away a bunch of my stuff again

god i'm so behind on my journaling

#now-playing 'Vattnet Viskar' by Vattnet Viskar https://vattnetviskar.bandcamp.com/

#now-playing 'Honey' by Peals https://friendsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/honey

#now-reading 'Barracoon' by Zora Neale Hurston

so it just updates regularly now

it seemed like the static twtfile setup i used for 'moon' fucked with twtxt caching...

finally streamlined my bots that i host on tilde town

at least most of my classes are genuinely interesting to me, that'll help

i think it's going to take some time before i can actually Do School again...

finally back in the studios... i've been off the air for too long

it did! i guess. the date format is different though

okay let's see if this works

txtnish seems nice i'm gonna try that instead

for now i'll just be tweeting from here... my twtxt client got borked on my laptop

and so the semester begins

it did! now i can tweet from ~town without even having to install anything

let's see if this function thing works

still bitter airships aren't a thing...

still trying to figure out the best way to manage my calcurse files... scp is just so slow

so happy about tilde.town's new home <3

currently reading through 'shit jobs' by David Graeber. i've enjoyed it a ton

oh and happy new year

i have got to get out of the apartment... i actually put on clothes this morning to help that happen, but idk if it'll matter

bio: i'm mox (https://tilde.town/~mox). i pour beer for boomers and help them reset their passwords.
