Introductions and motivation
This first post is to establish a common format for at least some of the entries in this gemlog.
The goal of this gemlog is to provide a monthly update for all the persistent projects that I am doing. These include, but are not limited to:
Programming pursuits
- [bocproc8]
- radiance-gemini
- [bugscript]
- unit-calculator
- activityGraph
- mkvid2
- weather-indicator
Where there is an online presence:
Non-programming creative projects
- [Drsk grammar]
- Book of Conworlds pages
- Other fanlangs
- My Minecraft world
- My big organisation system and how it evolves to include everything in my life eventually
Some of these are also on my [Tumblr], which contains many of the things above, especially BOC stuff.
Other things
I will occasionally talk about other things in my own life, such as family deals, work deals and political deals. These would be somewhat obfuscated to preserve some modicum of privacy, but the essence should be there and there would be a little bit of ranting involved.
Ephemerality and other details
I don't expect this gemlog to last long here, not (just) because of the usual attrition things have with diaries but mainly because I'm writing my own Gemini server and hopefully I would be able to publish posts there.
Additionally, I'm not going to write in "raw Gemtext", as it were; the idea is that these would be reformatted in many different contexts, so to help that I'm writing in a restricted subset of org-mode that can easily be translated into Gemtext and I'll convert it over instead.
If it ever comes to it, there may be posts that won't follow the format. It's all free-form text anyway.
Finally, some contact information would be put in a separate post.
