the phrasing "normal people" implies the existence of tangent people.

the biggest issue i've had since switching to the is with the style movement keys. i've since slowly gotten used to the new placement of keys using a set of weird : the four more awkward keys out of the six keys responsible by the right index finger that require the finger to extend outwards are for cursor movement; the key furthest to the top is for moving the view up (or the cursor down -- kinda like the so called natural scrolling), and similarly the key furthest to the bottom is for moving the view down (or the cursor up); for the remaining two keys, the left one is for moving the cursor to the left and vice versa.

it's weird how on a digital clock hours and minutes are more like integer properties of Time, while on an analog clock they are more like float views with different scales and granularity on the same time value.

i wonder why so many social websites put the permalink of a post obscurely on the timestamp (Friendica and Mastodon do this too). the only things that are acceptable to be put on timestamps should be time-travel: URLs.

a little sneak peek of an Arm virtual machine i made in using pure commands 👀

this was created as part of a project for my assembly and computer organization class; will polish out a more detailed article later.

i finally started working on customizing my instance. right now only the color scheme has been changed from the default one through CSS and i already like how it turned out. hopefully i can keep the momentum and change some layouts as well. one thing i'd really like to do is to separate articles and notes into two columns on the homepage (similar to ash's instance -- check it out by the way, it's fantastic!) as i'd like to make my future definitely-not-terrible articles stand out when someone arrives on my page 😼.

hello world! i hope the account redirect from @JaneIRL@kind.social to here worked. there's so much more to do now that i have my own website up again!

this is a picture of Twix i took back in July. she's a really sweet and friendly living on the campus. one of the few cats here that loves some pets! i will probably post more about the other cats here later too.

(i'm not even on Mastodon anymore. wonder if it's still okay to use that tag 😹)
