Clarissa's Yet Another Beeminder Journal

That’s your conscience telling you to switch to vi!! :stuck_out_tongue:

This sounds really interesting - please tell me more about sonic-pi songs.

Why would it be cheating to count them as songs? Infinity > 1 so your metric is satisfied.

I’d fight you for that blasphemy but I’m going to need to install ten MELPA packages, write three elisp macros, read two manuals, and dig up four Sacha Chua blog posts to figure out the keybindings for it.

Haha!
So - what are sonic-pi songs?

It’s basically a Ruby front end to Supercollider, allowing you to programmatically describe music and do live coding as performance. It’s very cool!

Sorry, I know it’s off topic, but I’m really curious now. How do you programmatically describe music? You have a link or can you tell me about it?

I think the best explanation I could give would be linking to a recording of the sonic-pi lead dev streaming a performance

Trying to restart this habit again.

I’ve had a lot of truly horrible things happen in the last six months and I’m using beeminder to try and get myself back on track, lots of tagtime goals right now specifically.

I’ve been retiring a number of goals lately. I tend to do that whenever I start to get really far ahead in what feels like a sustainable way. I’m drinking less coffee, reading more consistently, and not living on twitter as obsessively so I want to archive those and see if I can keep it up without thinking or I still need pressure.

Ooof. Feel like I’ve been drowning lately with everything else work related happening. I’m going to derail tonight on Focusmate and that was an unforced error. I spent today reading and just didn’t think about it til it’s now 10pm.

Still feel like I’m drowning. In part because life has been rather, uhh, chaotic. I’m rather rapidly pivoting careers into full time work in the intersection of computers and art. I might even get a living wage out of it, crazy right?

I need to turn down a lot of goals so I can not burn out

I’ve put in breaks on a bunch of goals.

I need to rethink most of them now that my priorities for work and life are rather rapidly changing.
