Getting the week started

It was a dark and stormy night…

Or, something like that. We woke to some rain this morning, but fortunately it does not look like there was too much out of the ordinary.

It is supposed to get pretty gnarly later on today, though, so we'll see how things progress. I've seen where Reed Timmer (facebook link) might be in our neck of the words today. That's always very, very reassuring.

Yesterday was the Thespian Banquet for the local High School and the twins lettered and received their "stars" and whatever all else goes into the Thespian Society. This is, unfortunately the last year of the current teacher as they are moving on to other larger, better things. It's always kind of bittersweet. We don't really know this teacher all that well, as this is our kiddo's freshmen year, but everybody really seems to like the individual.

This is also the last week of the current school year. Lots of Summer plans and camps and everything else will be starting up soon. I've got a handful of camp and trip scholarships that I need to get filled out (Summer Youth Theater, 2027 Band Trip, so on and so forth).

The Emacs to Pagecord module

I have done a bit of clean up on this and now have it living over on Codeberg so I can at least pull it in via package-vc-install on all my systems. That and should anybody else find it and want to use it they can do so. Getting the module installed for me is as simple as the following:

(unless (package-installed-p 'pagecord)
  (package-vc-install
   '(pagecord :url "https://codeberg.org/swrogers/pagecord.el.git"
              :branch "main")))
             
(require 'pagecord)

(setopt pagecord-blog-directory "~/repos/pagecord-blog-src")

Yes, I am currently not using use-package.

The only option that really needs to be personalized is the pagecord-blog-directory as above, but check the source as there are a number of other things that somebody may want to change.

I still want to get a keymap and maybe some completion, but other than that I'm basically "done" with it. Now it's time to move on to something else. I know I'm not ADHD (or whatever the proper term is these days), but I wouldn't be shocked if I am just a tad perhaps.

Other things

I finally finished Persepolis Rising. Now I'm just about done with the Auberon novella so I can move onto book 8 in the Expanse series, Tiamat's Wrath.

An excellent series, both in the written word and the television series. I've also got the graphic novels, which I'll read after these.

All right then, until next time.
