Can winter just be over now please?
@ceoln Hah that's exactly what I ended up saying as time went on! 😂

This is a nice improvement, which also allows you to use magit, if emacs was already started:
emacsclient -c -nw --alternate-editor='emacs -Q -nw'
with a fallback to the config-less emacs for fast startup.

RT @borkdude
Use emacs as the git editor for writing commit messages on the command line, with really good startup:

@gem_hill I love pomodoro when I can get into a rythem! I find it tough to not get pulled aside and interrupted though. :/
@johnmu That might be a contributing factor. 😂
@trinsec Beware that it is very messy!!!
We decided to buy a fancy coffee machine for our caffeine habit. I've not yet got the hang of using it though and my wife has been waking up to me swearing at the blasted thing when I produce something akin to a 'milk volcano'.

2022 was without a doubt the best year of my life. I'm not sure how 2023 could possibly top it, but I'm open to be surprised.
In 2022 I:
- Had my first Día de los Reyes magos 👑
- Started going to the gym regularly 💪
- Got engaged!💍
- Celebrated my birthday at an SEO conference in Mexico 🇲🇽🎉
- Was made redundant when the startup I was working at folded 📉 🫤
- Married @LidiaInfanteM (twice!) 🤵👰
- Started a new Clojure role at a different startup! 🧑💻
- Went to a fire lantern festival on honeymoon 🏮🏮🏮
- Experienced my first non COVID Spanish Christmas 🎄🇪🇸
On the whole a great year! 🎉
Also, Happy New year! 😆 🎊
Who needs chaos monkey when your CEO is just randomly unplugging whole server racks?

This evening's population density map is England. I have an urge to label everything but who knows, I might already have made mistakes. 😅
