Time to get back to my writing habit here, on qoto. I had a good holiday this summer, finally, but things got rough towards the end of August. I'm looking for people to tutor math and chemistry now, with an occasional English lesson on side. This is pretty much the only way I can earn money while studying and keeping my grades decent, as classes alone will take ~20 hours every week, not including homework and revision.

Here are some things I've been up to.

1) **Maps Of Meaning** - a series of lectures on philosophy, psychology and symbols and human culture. I highly recommend giving it a shot, especially in the form of a podcast (I use google podcasts).

2) **Vim** - lerning keystrokes and pretty much using it as my main editor except for matlab IDE. It is convenient once you get used to moving around.

3) **Linux** - still Pop OS with alacritty. Cosmic desktop is cool, but I barely use any features. I must say, however, that the whole thing runs smoother than before and most bugs from precious releases are eliminated.

4) **Writing** - daily or almost daily, in markdown. This very text is being written in markdown, actually, I'll just copy it from today's note. Everything is in vim (or markor on phone), synced via syncthing.

5) **Python** - I decided to learn the bloody thing. After a long time of working primarily with C++ and, out of necessity, with matlab. I don't like the indentation and dynamic types bug me, but I must admit that it is quite convenient tool, especially for quick and short solutions.

creating a programming language called Ontology, then adding an extension that allows for Object Oriented programming to *really* piss off some philosophers

I had no idea that networking with Virtual Machines could be so exhilarating. (Added to the fact that I'm always confusing BSD and Linux commands.)

#hello :blobcat: I'm a #spanish 20 y/o #librarianship student, interested in #foss and #openaccess. I like #books, #cats, #tech and #linuxmint. Joined because I want to learn more about #privacy and #software. Also, I am in the process of looking for solid alternatives to #gafam services for all my #devices.

:blobcatknife: this is a sign you should try #spanishomelette if you haven't

QEMU is so complex that one could pursuit a 2 years specialization on it. I wonder if one could get a job at Multipass or LXD?
But... nah! I'll just keep on my path of knowing less and less about more and more things until someday I may know nothing about everything.

And I've heard about stranger things that may happen when people is heading to the work place.

This reignited my puerile desire of having a diary (again). I wish I had time to do it.
