So I just learned its a thing in germany to have these special sinks for puking in at pubs for when you get drunk... why am I not surprised.

I really REALLY love the look of the new site I just launched for my Goblin project.

goblin-ogm.com/

Its an Open-source :opensource: OGM (Object-Graph Mapper) for Python.

I just did my first release as the new project owner for Goblin! It's an open-source :opensource: OGM for Graph Databases that sits on top of Tinkerpop.

Check it out here:
git.qoto.org/goblin-ogm/goblin

So now that I took over the Goblin open-source :opensource: project I started cleaning up the README and other repo documentation. Its amazing how just a little bit of time and attention can make a project look significantly more professional. Logo only cost me 7 bucks too!

I'm really happy to see the trend in FOSS :opensource: licenses is moving towards MIT and Apache like licenses and we are seeing GPL like licenses being abolished slowly.

Free means Free!

So just posted his new logo for the "United States Space Force"... apparently we are now officially in the United Federation of Planets, just without all that non-intervention equality nonsense.

Just a reminder all of this is sitting in this one little equation: \({Z}^{2}+C\)

For anyone not on the QOTO instance or doesnt use the web interface here is a screenshot of what the instance ticker looks like in the feed. Its optional and can be turned off by why would you want to!

The colors are based on what instance a user uses, red and yellow for QOTO, white and blue for mastodon, gold and grey for Pleorma. The icon is the favicon used for the server and updated every few days.

I'm starting to think Nazi might be getting a bit overused these days... apparently driving a car is exactly equivalent to mass genocide, who knew!

The pengrams I use when practicing a new script...

It is designed so each word has the letter it represents twice, once at the beginning and once in the middle (never at the end). I picked these words for a few reasons.

1) I always practice the capital form of the letter in the word
2) I always practice the lowercase form of the letter
3) I get to practice both the lead-in connector and the outgoing connector for the lowercase form (by virtue of now being at the end of the word)

FYI last word should be Zanzibar

For I wanted to share this letter sent to by FBI Domestic Intelligence Chief William Sullivan on 1963. The letter speaks for itself...

So I have been having a lot of fun using Spacemacs (Emacs + Vim) lately as my new IDE. Its a game changer for sure. One thing I find particularly fun is the "pretty-mode" extensions I managed to program into it (had to write my own layer that I derived from some existing code). I'll explain each aspect of pretty-mode in a second but first check out some screen shots at the bottom of this post to see what it looks like.

If anyone wants to replicate my configuration the full setup is here: git.qoto.org/freemo/pretty-spa

Pretty-git is the most functionally useful of them all. When you make a git commit it helps you format your git message using the standard format where you start with one keyword classifying the commit (such as fix, feature, refactor, etc) then a colon, then the text. It provides a list of selectable keywords and adds it to the git message. Moreover it can replace these keywords visually with descriptive icons (such as a little red bug for bug fixes). Later when you look through the git history you see these icons where the keywords should be making for a very nice visual representation.

My favorite is the pretty-code. Its a simple idea, it replaces certain keywords of phrases in code with equivelant mathematical symbols. So, for example null/nil/none will be replaced with the empty-set math symbol (a circle with a slash through it), similarlity stuff like not equals (!=) will be replace with an equals mark with a slash through it. You can fully customize what symbols are replaced and what it is replaced with. Also when you cursor over a symbol it temporarily reverts back to the keyword it replaced so you can see what it means. Searches and of course the underlying code itself (and in git) is unchanged.

pretty-shell is just a shell with some nice font-awesome fonts to make it pretty, usually informative so different icons might represent if a directory is a git repository or if it has staged changes and what not.

Finally pretty-outline. This basically just gives bullet points (useful in org-mode and note dating) some pretty icon representations rather than circles. Pure eye candy on this one.
