Thanks past Tom...
@PapaGlitch They look awesome! Great job!
Wow! The cognitect Clojure AWS API is great! Love it!

TIL that the JVM has a limitation where a method cannot be larger than 64 kB
IndexOutOfBoundsException Method code too large!
This happened because a name Clojure namespace had around 300 lines of requires......
@deinol in fairness that file name fits the Mechanicus beautifully.
He pedido pizza de dominos porque estoy de rodriguez.
For day to day note taking I'm just using a few capture templates and a date-tree so it basically gives me a logbook with different 'types' of entry depending on the template used.
I use ox-twbs for quick exports of notes and tables so I can share them with team mates and have them look presentable.
I'm experimenting with GTD in a single large org file for now but that's still a work in progress.
I'm also experimenting with org-roam but still very early days on that front. :-)
Org is slowly eating my life and I love it.

My "delete" folder has become so large that I'm afraid to delete it
I don't know if its because I've been using the bird site less frequently or if people have become disillusioned however I've hardly seen any crypto / meta verse content recently and I'm 100% okay with that.

Cut my fingertip yesterday while cooking and now typing will be unpleasant for a few days... 
I am not a python developer but it always manages to be a fun language to hack things together with.

I've been web scraping bakery reviews and now I really fancy some cake...
Actually getting tree-sitter working in emacs 29 is not trivial.
@trinsec sadly I'm work from home and need to be available for calls etc so can't just leave. Thankful the drilling has stopped for a lunch break! 🙌
I have a headache and jetlag and someone is drilling up the pavement directly outside my window... 😭

How to get followers on Mastodon
Fill out your profile: Tell about yourself and your interest. Use hash tags. Header and profile pictures are also very appreciated.
Follow others: First browse through the local timeline where you'll likely find the most interesting content and people to follow. Follow them.
Follow others, Part 2: Visit the profiles of the people you follow. There you see who is following them and who they follow.
Like or boost generously: a "Favourite" means: "I've read your post, I find it interesting" and notifies the poster about it. A "Boost" means that the post will appear in the Timeline of your followers and in the local Timeline. It also shows the poster your support and interest in the topic. Follow people with interesting posts and you'll likely be followed back (if you have filled out your profile).
Comment on posts: Show your interest or add interesting context by commenting on posts. Tell about your experience. Did you find something interesting or are you curious? Reply with a comment!
Create or share your own content: The Fediverse is not Twitter. You are allowed to post about mundane activities. Share your thoughts. There are no Quote posts, people will not ridicule you. The Fediverse is overall a much friendlier place and tolerance for hate is very low.
Conclusion: Be patient. In the Fediverse there are no algorithms. Your followership will grow only organically. It is a two-way street. The more you do and get involved, the more people will take notice. That's the beauty of the Fediverse.
