I found out recently that Cygwin has been including WeeChat in their packages, so I had to dive in. Found out two things. One, Cygwin has a new interface they install; Mintty.exe is fucking awesome. Two, WeeChat is just as awesome in Cygwin.
This is my current layout, which I’m sure will change multiple times.
I need to grab more cygwin packages. Fuck. Yes.
I’m shaping my blog, trimming bits here and there, and cultivating other areas that are too sparse. Look out for the NFO section. I’m adding whatever I can possibly add to it. I may add more. Probably adding links where I can.
I’ll write an actual “how-to” style post here soon. I promise. It’s bound to happen at some point.
I need to get back into computers. My hobby has pretty much gone almost entirely to the wayside. It pretty much has had to. Between work, family, and prior obligations- it hasn’t been easy to maintain a baseline working knowledge in software. I’ve managed, because luckily things haven’t changed drastically. The same can’t be said ten years from now, though. It’s important to keep up, so that when the lagging business world finally adopts what’s new, I won’t be left in the dust.

Well, I guess it’ll be hard to deny if anyone asks where I was April 3rd.
Four years ago my divorce was finalized. In that same span of time I made a depressing discovery- The realization that there are people in this world, sometimes quite a few of them, who can’t respect you and enjoy your company at the same time.
I spent a long time abandoned by every friend and family member I had, save for a single person. I have not always made the most reasonable decisions. I still don’t. I never will. I’ll choose to be myself. Only now, I’ll also take example from an amazing and inspiring person in my life. When I find someone has so much to protest about how I live my life, I’ll promptly tell that person I’m going to live how I’m going to live and if they’re staunchly opposed they can fuck off post haste.
One of these days I’m going to get around to writing something topical. Something insightful. Something that can assist a person who’s googling fervently for an answer to a complex situation or question. One of these days.
Today is not one of those days. Today is just another useless rant about absolutely nothing at all.
Why? I dunno. It seems like any time I have something insightful to write, I don’t have time to write it. Once the urge has passed, so too has my time to write about whatever the hell had occurred to me prior. It’s an ugly cycle of “non-writing” that’s pretty much relegating this blog to “livejournal” status.
I’m considering trying to move up from working for a tier three automotive supplier to either a tier one supplier or OEM. Not sure if I’ll be successful, but I certainly won’t find out until I make the attempt.
My son turns two tomorrow. He’s growing so fast. My daughter is already huge. She’s brilliant for her age, just as my son is brilliant for a toddler. I’m grateful for my kids.
