Today I spent some time doing some research on the history of the awk program. I was a bit concerned by the fact that it was privative software. On GNU/Linux we actually run gawk, which is the GNU version, and it turns out it is the only implementation that takes locales seriously. It also apparently includes a debugger and some features not found in awk nor nawk.

I just read "The Tao of Programming", this was one of my favorite parts.

I found this animated Porygon from #Pokemon and couldn't resist the urge to create this theme for my desktop on #Linux

My most recent theme for #Linux . I like it, I guess I'll keep using it for a week or two.

Hay días terribles en los que no soporto la pesadumbre de existir, y quisiera dormir un poco más, por días enteros, años... y despertar sólo cuando nuestras falaces responsabilidades se hayan desintegrado, para siempre, en el devenir del tiempo.

A new #pixelart for my terminal emulator.

I just found a way to insert my pixel art into my terminals, it is a PNG turned into characters btw

I got vaccinated a few days ago, so I can't drink today, at the noche mexicana, which is a typical day to party and get drunk here in México

Every time I open a new terminal, a random glitch animation with Lain appears

This is now my screensaver.
After testing all "modes" in xlock, I found this one randomly, called the "lament" mode. I assume it's an easter egg as it isn't in the mode list in the manual (there are some other hints, though). I'm quite happy because I like Hellraiser a lot.
