Happy year of the pig! 🐷

Things I’m Liking

  • bd, bn, bp, ls, w, e, & me: A nifty little article about using vim with multiple buffers, something I typically don’t do. But it’s pretty easy! Just :vs [filename] to open a new file in a different buffer, Ctl+W to switch between them, and then the commands in the blog post to work with them. I think I’m going to make it a goal to learn something new about vim every day or two since I’ll probably be using it for the next 50 years.
  • Skins (TV Show): Season one is playing on repeat at the Bassment, so I’ve seen it maybe twice in the past two weeks. It’s a show about some British high schoolers, most of who date, do light drugs, and get into trouble with each other. It’s easy to fall in love with the characters and hate others. Watching it made me nostalgic for high school and miss western culture.

Misc

Last night was fun, we started at the Bassment and chatted with some people next to us until the official turn of the new year. I spent that moment at a urinal.

After this my roommate and I ended up at a familiar street foot intersection, which was startlingly busy! Turns out a lot of the people nearby had dinner with their parents, and then were still awake at 1am and wanted to get a late night snack before heading home to sleep. It was a fun time chatting with some people around here.

Afterwards, around 2am or so, my roommate headed home and I went to a electronic music underground club less than a 30 seconds walk from the intersection, 61 House. There weren’t many people there, but the bartender was friendly so I spent an hour or two there chatting.
