HELLO, WORLD! _ _ 21 Jun 2023 /,Y,\_/\/\ ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~/_--.-V-v-/~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ I'm starting it all over again, like I always do; never stay too long in one place, lest anybody start to see the patterns, start to notice that you're *there*. But the broader point is this, that I really ought to spend more time writing things, whether they be good or no. NeoCities has occupied me here and there, but the workflow of click and drag and wait for bewebben UI elements to finally load has come to gall me bit by bit, digging deep between me ribs. How much can I cut out of it, really? Not just on the client-side, pages stripped of all adornment, but also for me sitting here with my keyboard and my broken AC unit. I got to wondering, and now to typing away in a shell script and a little C program to wrap input as it comes in, each line falling away out of reach as it falls from my fingertips, and the whole setup seems to work fine enough -- meditative, maybe. An ASCII pair to pen and ink. Permanence, if I can only tamper down the temptation to slash and burn afterwards. ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
