Why write less? Strunk & White always said to make sure you eliminate every unnecessary word. And I agree; the purpose of communicating should be clarity first and foremost. It's not an easy standard to maintain; first, you've got to gather all the grain (your thoughts)
Just had a scare. Which is appropriate, Halloween being proximate to this time of year. Trying to upgrade the platform for this website, it became unresponsive. Pages did not load. The site was unresponsive. There were issues with dependency versioning. And so on and so forth. Thankfully at the end
My Latin is not good, which is why I gave this article its title. But maybe it's useful to be able to write great works. I choose to be humble here and say that such things are above me. But maybe this can be used as a sort
The princes are prostrate, crying 'Peace!' [...] Plundered is Canaan with every evil; Carried off is Ashkelon; Seized upon is Gezer; Yanoam is undone; Israel is laid waste-its grain spoiled; kHarru has become a widow of Egypt. All lands together are pacified. Everyone who was restless has been bound.
You may not be aware of this, but as I write this, the site has been down for the past sixteen hours. During some general reorganization of the Hartr.Net domain, I decided to relegate the blog portion to the blog. prefix instead of leaving it as the base domain.

Firstly I have to say to check out Lara's Website where you can check out her art and everything else she finds interesting. Here is a recent picture of my wife and I at her wonderful wedding. The festivities took place out on the west side, not far
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." ~Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities First of all, fuck Dickens. Aside from giving us Elizabeth G's† brilliance, sometimes I wonder about his ability to influence civilization. But that's beyond me.
But hey, they're not charging me by the letter, so I'll share it here: Terminal multiplexing gives you wings, especially when you're sshing into another server. To run it, try: tmux new -s mysession This will create a new session, where you can use
I was bummed the other day. Watching The Hitchhiker's Guide from 2006 made my brain burn with expired tropes, as well inspiring heartache from the passing of both Alan Rickman and Douglas Adams. The book itself was one of the unifying elements I had with my father--a bizarre
It's never easy to change, but sometimes we have to. I've decided, probably for the 9th time in the past 18 years, to try learning Python again. I can already do some silly manipulation, get the drift of arrays, and can print out relevant data points.
