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 [...]
Novice Struggles with Haskell Syntax
I’ve been trying to augment my Hakyll Site with “next post”, “previous post” links in a post. There’s a post in Hakyll Google group asking for the same thing. (Maybe the majority of Hakyll owners just “adapt” from other Hakyll sites…). I’ve run into trouble trying to do this. Hakyll.Web.Template.Context source was a useful start.
But the trouble I [...]
Yi in a Cabal Sandbox on OSX
For the most part there are instructions for this on the GitHub repo for Yi. Despite that, I ran into a difficulty or two when I tried this.
Like these errors One error which complained was trying to use aeson-0.7.0.3. Installing a newer version of aeson into the sandbox resolved this. (For some reason, changing the yi.cabal so that [...]
Additions to Hakyll
The basic Hakyll site is (thankfully) not too glamorous. Some features I wanted to keep from WordPress include the tags, categories, pagination of posts, and ‘teaser’ text for each post. The repository for this site is at rgoulter/my-hakyll-blog if you want to see the actual commits. Tags Doing a Google search for “hakyll tags” probably will lead you to the [...]
Tmux + Vim + Fish
My use of vim until recently has more/less been in GVim or MacVim. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I hadn’t bothered much with terminal vim. Getting the colours to look not-awful was a difficult task. The difficulty, my current understanding is, is that on the terminal only 256 colours can be shown. (Many colour schemes use colours other [...]
