When I was living in California, I took the opportunity to learn how to skydive. One of the places I used to jump regularly was at Hollister, way south-east of San Jose, beyond the home of Garlic (apparently). That DZ had a landing area a fair way from the airport: a field, shared largely with gophers and a handful of cows. Landing in that field was a tricky business. It's quite easy to get your foot stuck in a gopher hole and faceplant upon contact. Sometimes you could see them running for cover as you came in. Not that I ever did, but if you were to hook turn in for a fast landing the way to slow down on contact is to drag one foot behind you, toe outstretched so your ankle doesn't have to do any dangerous muscle work. Like a dance, if you will. _ _ _ _ _ | |__ ___ _ __(_)_______ _ __ | |_ __ _| |_ __ _ _| | ___ | '_ \ / _ \| '__| |_ / _ \| '_ \| __/ _` | | '__| | | | |/ _ \ | | | | (_) | | | |/ / (_) | | | | || (_| | | | | |_| | | __/ |_| |_|\___/|_| |_/___\___/|_| |_|\__\__,_|_|_| \__,_|_|\___| I fired up a new gopherhole on a spare computer at home, and have started putting some stuff from the past there. I'm hoping to grow it, and it may supercede this one, though if I move the phlog there I'll try to get it into the gopher.club listings too. It depends, I'm not sure I want to loosen the SDF connection... 1A Hole In MHCat's Dot Space / hole.mhcat.space 70 0Captain's Phlog /log.txt hole.mhcat.space 70 Latest entry: =first.txt Local bits: 1Another Phlog Another Planet /users/mhcat/phlog sdf.org 70 020230201T083244 Response to Screwtape's ChatGPT Essay /users/mhcat/phlog/20230201T083244--responding-to-screwtapes-chatgpt-essay__phlog_political-thought_programming_reading_sdf.txt sdf.org 70 020230130T164607 Five Questions Redux, Asylum Edition /users/mhcat/phlog/20230130T164607--five-questions-feb-2023__journal_phlog_sdf.txt sdf.org 70 020230103T193635 Five Questions /users/mhcat/phlog/20230103T193635--five-questions__phlog_sdf.txt sdf.org 70 020221202T163240 Why the Guardian Sucks /users/mhcat/phlog/20221202T163240--why-the-guardian-sucks__phlog_political-thought_web.txt sdf.org 70 020221122T175630 James Clark is a Sainsbury /users/mhcat/phlog/20221122T175630--james-clark-is-a-sainsbury__history_notes_phlog.txt sdf.org 70 020221121T070322 International Norm /users/mhcat/phlog/20221121T070322--international-norm__journal_phlog.txt sdf.org 70 0first.txt /users/mhcat/phlog/first.txt sdf.org 70 I started doing Advent of Code in Common Lisp because screwtape is a zealot and I need to do more Common Lisp. 1Advent of Code 2022 /users/mhcat/advent2022 sdf.org 70 I have some other stuff on the internets: hJefferies Tube Network URL:https://jefferiestube.net sdf.org 70 0Hi /users/mhcat/hi.txt sdf.org 70 I've been learning the colemak-dhm layout and practicing using texts that are worth a closer reading.
