Red line was a mess so I missed the keynote, but I'm here! #libreplanet #libreplanet2019

This was a fun read. I was a bit turned off by the book's foreword, but disregarding my preconceptions and reading on turned out to be the right decision. It really is an interesting piece about the cultural impact of BASIC and the Commodore. A good choice if you're looking for some lighter tech-related reading, and there's even a PDF available under the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0 license.

My FreeDOS shirt arrived!

I don't usually take pictures of the things I cook because presentation is a definite culinary weak point for me, but I felt it was warranted for tonight's meal. Butterflied chicken stuffed with Brie, cranberries, and sauteed onions + garlic

Got the #fsfbulletin today from @fsf

Mastering Emacs is an interesting collection of tips for improving one's workflow in Emacs. It rationalizes its suggestions, and its descriptions of the individual features are detailed. Sadly, I did not get as much out of the book as I was hoping to. I read it hoping it would give me some ideas for rewriting my init.el, but configuration is barely covered. Regardless, it's nice reference material, and I'll be incorporating some of the advice into my workflow.

Halloween surf 'n turf at the dining halls tonight!

Tonight's spot for meditation + reflection

SDF shirt finally came! They threw in some stickers, too, which I'm really looking forward to throwing on my laptop

As a 3D platformer on the Nintendo 64, Tonic Trouble is in a competitive market. Its uniqueness comes from its quirky sense of humor and wonderful cartoon-y aesthetic. Sadly, the puzzles are dry, and the pace heavily relies on encouraging the player to backtrack. A shame, as it's one of the few N64 titles to have a camera that doesn't make you want to pull hair. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something like Rayman 2, but otherwise, it's no hidden gem.

Made Seitan tonight, but as soon as it finished my brother called me to come pick him up. Guess I'll have to wait to try it

Uh, I guess so? Usually if I'm recommending that someone go to the emergency room, I don't specify which one

The HackRF clone is finally here, gonna test it out and report back if it works with GNU Radio + how it compares to my RTL-SDR
