I don't know if I am interpreting these songs differently than others, but I get an incredibly similar vibe from Radiohead's "No Surprises" and the Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" in terms of setting and theming ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@vi/109890257420417503) 2023-02-18T15:41:22Z ****

Next thing I'm working on for Bergelmir is a [#twtxt](https://mastodon.social/tags/twtxt) feed parser and displayer that works for an http site, gopher site, and gemini site. This will take a while, as I would prefer not to use a third party library, so I finally need to figure out how to make a lexer to get markdown support working.

This is what I wanted out of the Bergelmir project's development, being stuck learning things that I did not know before :) ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@vi/109919333297581375) 2023-02-24T11:06:10Z ****
The fact that the DeepMind youtube account still doesn't have a checkmark on youtube even though it's owned by Alphabet (Google) is incredibly strange to me. I enjoyed the heck out of the AlphaGo documentary, but I originally thought it was going to be a bait and switch video because the DeepMind channel didn't have a checkmark on Youtube like I expected it would have if it was the real channel. ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@vi/109919388974820110) 2023-03-03T13:20:03Z ****
I don't know about you, but I want to see an ANSI art vtuber, as in their vtuber avatar/persona is ANSI art on a terminal.

Note to self (that I don't care is seen by others). DiggieDog does not like to close gopher connections to my gopherhole after data is transmitted and the end of transmission indicator is sent to DiggieDog.

"Beware the Ides of March." As many people commemorate the assassination of Julius Caesar today, I decided to write a blog post about why I commemorate it on March 28th instead. The blog post is titled "This Isn’t Caesar’s Ides of March (Why I Commemorate It on the 28th)" and can be read over HTTP, Gemini, Gopher, or RSS.

Yes, this blog post happened because I'm a calendar nerd :P
