Autumn is coming, and I am
continuing the cleanse of
my home. It's been since
June now that I've been
actively purging my home.

I say actively, because for
the last year, I've been
purging, cleaning, getting
rid of object that filled
my 15 years of life with
my now ex. In June I decided
to double down on the clean
up, the stagnation of the
house was too much for my own
enjoyment.

Through this purge, I also
see that other things want
to come out. One layer that
I am moving on from is my
home servers, namely lucid.observer
and also oneiricmonk.com. This
is a small aspect of a further
move toward de-digitizing
my life. I haven't been on
social network, for many years
now, closed my amazon account,
I de-googlized my phone, as
far as de-digitization, it's
going quite well. But I feel
that I've added a new layer
of digital life that I don't
really want to deal with.

I think I am done with
using computer as a way
to entertain me. I really
hope to be able to give
up a lot more screen time
in the coming month. I've
been really addicted to a
lot of screen watching at
night. It's been helpful
when I feel alone, and it
happens a lot. But it's
also killing something in
me. So I think I'm trying a
sober-September? Or part
of it.

I use a computer for work,
but then I want to cut on
computer usage after work.
I want to get back to my
e-paper typewriter to
continue writing (I will
never stop writing!) and
maybe following a few gopher
and gemini capsules.

On the gopher side of
reality, I've even removed
Lagrange from my phone, so
as to not use my phone for
distraction.

So computer time is for work.
After work, I want to find
something else to do. No
computer allowed, and let
see what happens. It would
probably be a good idea to
have a plan of action, but
I've cold turkey out of a lot
of thing in the past and
it seems to help, as it creates
the will to do something
about it.

Tomorrow after work I
am going for a dance
class, so that's an
easy way out for day one.
And then a friend is visiting
the next day and over the
weekend I am going to a
party with my daughter!

Well I have a rule though,
that if I am with someone
who want to watch a movie,
I should also partake. But
even there... what about inviting
that person to do something
else? We'll see. Anyway watching
tv alone is pretty depressing,
I'd rather not do anything.

What will I pick up?
Writing, fiddling, drawing,
meditating... oh, OH! maybe
I could start physical training.
That feels entertaining with
some massive added value!

(goes do 10 push up)

Fuck yeah that feels good.

I also want to clean my
gopher burrow. It feels
pretty heavy and depressed
in here. Maybe I'll zip all
that stuff and put it in
an archive. Feels like I've
gone through a lot since
I've started here, needs a
bit of a digital refresh.

In short, reducing my online footprint,
by removing the project I haven't
had the energy for. Maybe finally
cleaning up or giving up gef.ink?
It's not really relevant and I
have plenty others sites.
Giving up on online entertainment
(youtube I look at you) and
all the tv shows, anime, and
movies sites. Getting back
on using my e-ink typewriter
for my gophering, publishing
and reading. I am on the fence
about mastodon, not really using
it but it's a nice community.
And finally, getting back into
anonradio a bit more. It's
been on the back burner for
the whole summer. 

Anyway, what are you cleaning
up in Autumn? The year of the
snake is about shedding your
skin. What am I letting behind?
