I have been absent. Behind on emails and due to being
distracted with the Vivobook setup[1], returning to work,
migrating my files to something cheaper and more local,
and general life admin.

fluxion[2] talked me through an email setup recently,
which I plan to try as soon as I gather the courage to
try Mutt. Not having done so yet is pretty much the
reason for being behind.

I love the look of gef's new digital garden[3]. It's
so nicely realised even at such an early stage. Ps. Thank
you for the shoutout[4], gef.

Currently reading SUNBURNT COUNTRY by Joelle Gergis, all
about the history of Australian climate. TIL that the
Bibbulmun Noongar of Western Australia include an oral
record of the last Ice Age in their stories. That's
pretty freaking amazing, though not a surprise for one of
the oldest continuing peoples in the world. 

Live and learn: The last two Royal Gala apples I've
bought have been not quite right on the inside. I wonder
if mid-January is already too late in the season for this
type of apple.  Pink Lady and Granny Smith have still
been nice.

My theme for this year is Deep Life and Slow
Productivity, and simply accepting that I will fall
behind on some things. Life goes on until it stops.
