2021/10/27 So. So so so. Took even longer to add another entry... honestly, I just haven't had a lot to say that I think people would find interesting. I'm a pretty boring guy, you know? Although I do want to start making weekly entries... it'd probably be good for me to have a place to just let stuff out Anyway, I guess I should let you know what I've been up to... Continued to review mathematics - currently reading Serge Lang's "Basic Mathematics". Of course, it's nothing incredibly challenging, but I'd personally hesitate to call it "basic". Continued to practice C - although I haven't dedicated nearly as much time to this as I have to mathematics recently, I've done a little bit here and there. I want to write a bunch of little X tools with Motif, and probably start working on a simple Gopher client in the spirit of cURL. I've been thinking of trying out a ketogenic diet - I already eat mostly protein, so it's not like it'd be a huge change for me, and there seems to be some health benefits associated with it. I still need to read more about it, but it seems promising. I've also recently joined the CollapseOS mailing lists - CollapseOS is a project I've been following for a long time now. It's written largely in FORTH and is aimed at highly resource-constrained homebrew computer systems that would be feasible to build in a "collapse" scenario. Check it out under the Links section. Beyond those things... hmm. I suppose I should mention that I've also started writing a small set of POSIX userland tools, mp-utils, which will (hopefully) in the future comply fully with POSIX and SUS. It'd be nice to not have to rely on anyone else for my system's core tools - I also intend to add Linux-specific tools (ml-utils), networking tools like ping and ftp (mn-utils), and various small extra tools that I think are useful (me-utils). I'll probably post an update about them in the future. There's also a new script in my POSIX_Scripts SDF Gitea directory, invcli. It's pretty alpha-quality, but it does work, which is the important part. It's a POSIX shell implementation of an Invidious client using cURL. In the future I intend to allow the user to choose whether to save or playback files, and which kind of file they'd like, but it's mostly usable as is. Enjoy. Oh, one more thing. I've been thinking about modifying the site so that pages are generated automatically by a script - there's enough of them that it's a pain manually updating things and making sure it's all consistent. Keep an eye out for that.
