Hello friends.
Although these Weekly Head Voices look back at the week from Monday July 15 to Sunday July 21, it is already Wednesday, July 24, as I write this.
Weekly Head Voices #173: I know.
Let’s go for a slightly less anxious start than the previous edition did:
Well hello there folks!
A week ago, I made a deliberate decision not to post a WHV, as I really did not have much to report on.
Weekly Head Voices #172: ABC.
YARRRRGGGHHHH it’s now more than a month after the previous WHV saw the light of day.
This draft, intially intended to see the light of day not much more than a week after 171, has been languishing in a cold jail of electrons up in the cloud somewhere for the past weeks, while life was doing its thing, you know, inexorably marching ahead.
Weekly Head Voices #171: ICEMiRB.
Down here, you never know what sort of fantastic beasts you could run into. I
met this particular fullmetal creature right about here.
Dear friends,
In this post, I do a particularly lossy review of my trip through time, from Monday May 6 to Sunday May 19, 2019.
First we talk about sleep, then a long part on technical tricks, then a slightly more backyard philosophical piece on human tool sharpening, and finally the announcement of a new academic event somewhere in the far or near or medium term future.
Weekly Head Voices #170: Yeet.
Hello there friends!
This edition of the WHV, number 170, is how I choose look back at the three weeks from Monday April 15 to Sunday May 5, 2019.
This period was host to whooshing-by-deadline-induced stress, one amazing and thought-provoking wedding, the birthdays of two of my GOUs, and, a bit strangely part of this list, the acquisition of a new computing device.
At least we were able to pause everything for a sublime afternoon at a favourite vineyard close to my backyard:
meepx1e: I haz new laptop!
WARNING: EXTREME PC hardware-related nerdiness ahead. Read at your own risk.
It is tradition around these parts that the welcoming of new computer machines is celebrated by, amongst many other rituals, a sometimes incomprehensible amount of customisation-related labour and a mention (or two) in these pages.
Weekly Head Voices #169: A cunning plan.
I just went through my notes.
As far as I can see now, the week from Monday April 8 to Sunday April 14 2019, although otherwise quite solid in terms of productivity and of The Important Stuff(tm), did not fare too well on the blog-worthiness scale.
Weekly Head Voices #168: Postcards from the edge.
My friend showed me a photo and said “Here’s a picture of me when I was younger”. Every picture is of you when you were younger. – Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
Weekly Head Voices #167: Yes, and...
(I initially posted this blog with an incorrect slug, so I had no choice but to re-publish with the correct slug and URL. It is possible that you receive the email notification twice. I am really sorry about this! P.S. Yes, it’s a dirtly little secret of the blogging industry that slugs are involved.)
Oh hi there friends, from this brand new and quite shiny Hugo blogging setup!
Moving 18 years of this personal blog from Wordpress to Hugo
It sounds a bit more involved than it turned out to be, but I have a thing for posts titled “Moving M years of K from Y to Z”.
As can be seen in the history page or rather the first weblog entry dated 2001-02-27, this blog has been around for more than 18 years.
It started as some CGI script, then spent some time as a LiveJournal, then, thanks to meeting Professor Biella Coleman who was at that point still a grad student, went through a Movable Type phase and then, at some point, converted to Wordpress.
