Feminism & Feminists
Isn’t this topic such a good one? I’d be willing to bet your mind is already made up by the time you’ve read past the title page. It’s been a topic which pops up on my social networks; especially moreso due to Emma Watson’s fantastic talk to the UN recently. And because I’ve seen enough discussion on the point, I’d [...]
Seducing Mr. Knightly is Amazing
I re-read through Maya Rodale’s “Seducing Mr Knightly” for the nth time recently. (Well, I read it again late August, and it’s now late September. I haven’t found the time to finish this writeup!).
It’s deservedly one of my favourite books. Wtih the good books, I cherish the moments in narrative which are sweet and adorable and intimate, and [...]
Brief Look at Haskell Editing Tools
Recently I used Haskell in a school project. It was unclear to me whether there’s a “killer” Haskell editor. (e.g. Leksah looks damn cool, but also looks quite old now). The Haskell Wiki does list a bunch, and some time I’d like to go through and do a better examination of these. My current understanding is as follows: EclipseFP The [...]
Beginning Arch Linux
So. Last week I decided to try out Arch Linux. Some of my friends, (or, rather, many of the smart folk I’m acquainted with) use Arch Linux. And the Haskell community has a love for Arch. Actually, part of the reason was because I screwed something or other up on my Linux Mint 17 install relating to fish + powerline [...]
Emma, Disapproved
Emma Approved’s most recent video, Boxx Hill gets us up to date with the part of Emma where they go to Box Hill. (Ohhh, now that makes much more sense). Jane comes in and sets Emma down; (you go girl? I don’t recall this part in the book, though Jane does opt to snob Emma). Then Knightly comes in and [...]
Women Against Women Against Feminism
Pictures of people with pieces of card saying “I need feminism because…” have apparently been on the rise. Women Against Feminism is apparently a Tumblr where women posts pieces of card saying “I don’t need feminism because…”. And that upsets some people. So there’s a convenient list of posts some for, some against. Arguments. Opinions. Name calling and condescending insinuation [...]
Readers, and Lists on GoodReads
Readers, man. GoodReads has reader lists:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/popular_lists Perhaps not surprisingly, a list of The Most Begun/Read but Unfinished includes a lot of so-called “literature”.
I’m under the impression people don’t finish the books because they’re boring, and they begin reading the books because it’s “literature”, rather than the books being good to read. There are genre-favourite lists like [...]
Trying to Install Lime
Lime is in that category of obscure and in development text editors. If the name isn’t a hint, Lime is a clone of Sublime Text, a popular cross-platform text editor which students will either pirate or just use without registering. (Just like good ol’ WinZip).
(Well, I’m not sure if it’s fair to call these editors “obscure”. NeoVim, LightTable, [...]
Notes From Some Examination of Some Yi Configs
Earlier I’d posted very briefly about some User Yi Configs. In particular I’m currently curious as to how to customise for, say, adding a new ex command to Yi. I noted that the Ex commands were listed in Yi.Keymap.Vim.Ex. (Note, there is some discordance between the version on GitHub now, and Yi 0.8.1, as Vim2 has since replaced the older [...]
Adding Next/Previous Post to Hakyll
So. The problem I was trying to solve in my last post was how to add next/prev links to a blogpost.
I’ve since figured out how to do that. See the commit. My problem was, I had an Item String, and wanted to give a Compiler String corresponding to the next (or previous.. let’s ignore that for generality) post’s [...]
