Pretty Good Hat

Good morning. Ahem:

Soft pretzels! Pizza rolls! Bagels, baguettes and brioche! Rye! Cranberry walnut! Stoneground wheat! Cross buns and ciabatta! Get ‘em here!

Thank you for coming to my breads hawk.

The hardware flash mode on the Q1 requires removing the space bar and pushing a tiny button while plugging in the keyboard. But you can program a key to do this instead. This is a massive improvement! Fiddling/Learning QMK would be terribly cumbersome otherwise.

The great part about running a static blog with Hugo is remembering how all the partials and templates and stuff work, after only minimal hunting and finding in the terminal. That done, I’m enjoying making a few small updates and doing some cleaning this Saturday afternoon.

🎮 I’m having quite a lot of fun in Forza Horizon 5, and the photo mode is great. Also, there’s an event where you drive a two-story parade float off a ramp into a canyon at 80mph. Recommended.

Keyboard programming with QMK update: Adding more vim keys to a new layer on my Q1! After a long time idly thinking it would be neat to have vim-style navigation in, for example, an Outlook compose window, I can now toggle layers and do exactly that. It’s pretty slick.

I used Migration Assistant and it’s actually anticlimactic how cleanly my shiny new MacBook came up just like the prior one. I had to run a couple of updates to get brew up to current, but otherwise everything just … worked, including all my fiddly fish shell stuff and the project I had open in R Studio. I can only imagine the engineering under the hood to make that work amid the Intel to M1 transition.
