#noteToSelf Gotta figure out how to work issues in git/GitLab and merge? Need a git for idiots book

#note-to-self Gitlab pages

#note-to-self Script to delete non-pinned toots from an account every few days. #js

I have yet to do an #introductions toot so I guess the time has come.

Most folk will remember me as whistlewright.

I am currently studying to become an employable/employed #web_developer #webdev

Outside of professional interests I am a #writer with some published works. I try to live a #minimalist lifestyle. Also we try to life a little more of a #selfsufficient lifestyle. We hope to go #offthegrid soon.

I try to use #FOSS but I am not overly religious about it.

Some days one doesn't want to be at work. Nothing is wrong. I just don't want to be here today.

What fun!

Alrighty...who's still awake?

Ok so the other mastodon account that I setup has quit working already. *sigh* Beginning to not like all of this stuff again

So I think that, fianlly, I have a comibinetion of tools that works for me in both my work life and my personal life. All that is left really is detail.

Details like:
-Telegram on #emacs
-generating new gpg keys and learning how to use them on emacs
-some off-of-emacs epub reader (not calibre as it is huge)
-Working with #syncthing and making that happen instead of my weird and scary Dropbox configuration

...

Man, I am starving!

ok this may take more time than I have to invest tonight but I am intrigued by syncthing

Ok so I am giving this #syncthing a try. It may take me a bit to figure it out so hang on.

I wonder what will happen if I set my org directory in .emacs to the orgzly directory in Dropbox? What the heck?! Let's try it! Here someone hold my beer

I guess the #tusky is for a newer version of Andriod than mine and that is why I couldn't get it to work earlier.

Want to see if the admin here has a way to change my username to my beloved whistlewright. I'd hate to open another dang account and have everyone try to figure out who the hell I am or if I have lost my ever lovin mind

5/? I can focus on learning #orgmode and maybe study and learn how to make #orgzly work with webDAV instead of Dropbox

4/? Long and the short of it is that I think that I am going to do the same thing to the phone. Having stripped down devices makes things easier and significantly lowers the learning curve for a stupid guy like me

3/? Well having only the emacs browser has made it difficult to post to my usual social things... except that I do have #mastodonel and #gnusocialmode. So I am pretty much relegated (on this computer anyway) to posting via mastodon-mode

2/? I figured out that night that I can save an org file to Dropbox and use it on this computer and on my phone via the app called #orgzly and on the Windows10 computer at the office. Problem with the set up is Dropbox which I don't trust but it works so that is a plus at this point...

So a few nights ago I pulled a bonehead stunt. My daily computer has very limited space and I got tired of futzing with it so I started deleting heavy programs. I stripped this box down to #emacs, mplayer, veracrypt, LibreCad for work, gpg, and the supernerd things on a computer that I am scared to mess with. 1/?

Excuse the interruption, just playing with #mastalab

Couldn't get #tusky to sign into my account but #mastalab had no trouble at all

I don't own any shiny new hardware. My phone is Android 4.4.4. My laptop came over with Noah. The other day I was thinking that it might be nice to use Evernote again as it works on my Kindle and through a web browser. I went to get the app for the phone and my phone is too old for the app.

You know what text editors have never let me down. Well, except for that one time and it was #vim.

I did manage to get it turned off...

Then again maybe I don't need all the fancy stuff for the work computer. Maybe I can get by with close to nuthin
