Gil's Week #202022

Gil thoughts

This week I…

  • Didn’t work on Monday, since it was a bank holiday, I took a long walk outside to get out of the house and move my legs.
  • The week felt quite packed even thought it was only 4 days, I was as tired as a normal week, I guess I need a holiday…
  • Started reviewing a book, more info on this later ;)
  • Used more emacs, I’m now at a point where I’m very comfortable with it, but I still need to fix my font, ligatures aren’t working :(.
  • Haven’t changed much my information database (read: my wiki), but I have subscribed to a few blogs on newsblur and I’m actively avoiding checking hackernews and twitter.
  • watched a few emacs videos and articles, it’s very addictive, much more than vim plugins, I guess because I tried to keep it as lean as possible (I say that, but I have more than 20 plugins in my config)

Sound of the week

  • Childish Gambino - This is America

Great URLs

  • This video resonates with my note taking quest
  • I love Makefiles, but I didn’t know you could use different “shells” inside them.
  • Be careful with your pyc files, they can contain secrets keys that are easily reverse engineered.

Cheers,

Gil
