I've just set up a journal, titled "Journal of a part-time technologist".
I assume the viewer of such a journal is familiar enough with Github, to figure out how to read an entry in my journal.
Three entries so far.

From http://suckless.org/philosophy/ :
"Our philosophy is about keeping things simple, minimal and usable. We believe this should become the mainstream philosophy in the IT sector. Unfortunately, the tendency for complex, error-prone and slow software seems to be prevalent in the present-day software industry. We intend to prove the opposite with our software projects."

Free food in Singapore, in the manner of "pay it forward"
McDonald's, payment(s), "cryptogram"
Just (vaguely but a little strongly) curious what is the implication of the words "Cryptogram: N/A", on this receipt from McD

@RussSharek @librelounge As a producer I'm looking for two very specific things:
1. I'm looking for someone who has done something difficult. This doesn't have to be technical, it can be art, but they have to have created something.
2. I'm looking for someone who can explore the thing they're doing by contextualizing it, or by going very deep into it.
We've had some amazing guests that fit this criteria, and those are the best shows. They're also the hardest shows to make.

Hey fedi, I could use some #suggestions. I've been using #youtube videos on educational topics and fun how-to project videos as inspiration to get myself into gear and do work. But I'm outpacing the people I've been watching, and I'm running out of videos. Who do you like to watch for #inspiration ? I'm particularly interested in anyone putting content on #peertube but I'm ok with watching on either platform.

Take a moment at the end of each day and list a few good things in your life. This can help refocus your emotions on all the positive things that happen each day, even when it doesn’t seem like it.
Twitter, handling deaths of users
A video in respectful memory of Mr. Gilberto Baraona, reported to have "come from a family of coffee producers"

Question for the hive mind:
Does anyone have a service they recommend, or offer a service for a reasonable fee, for transcribing video?
I have a 26 minute theater lecture I've presented which I plan to release soon, and I'd like to include a copy of the transcription for accessibility's sake.
All the hype about https://hey.com , though
"An overwhelming smell coming from a suspicious package at a Bavarian post office caused six workers to be taken to hospital and many more to be evacuated – only for police to discover that durian fruit, and not a dangerous gas, was the reason for the panic"
