This is what the last couple of weeks have been like at work š„
I was able to dig up StarOffice 3.1, which I used in the 1990āies on Windows 95. This was the highlight of my day. š„° As you can see in the photo below, this CD includes a version for Windows 3.1, 95/NT ā and OS/2! How cool is that? My CD back then did not have the OS/2 version.
StarWriter of StarOffice 3.1 can do a lot of the stuff that Iām missing in the tool at work. Like automatic numbering of sections/chapters and cross-references to other parts of the document. Essential basic stuff like that.
All the following screenshots are from QEMU VMs (OS/2 2.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows 98), but I think Iām gonna install this on my real OS/2 Warp 4 box soon. š§
What really blew my mind is this feature, though: You can rearrange your documentās structure using drag-and-drop. Hereās a demo (Window 2000):

I really, really wish the tool at work would have a feature like that. It would have saved me so much time already. š
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Bahahaha š¤£ The domain for that image is blocked on my local network š
Whatās all of this about? one may askā¦
Well Iāve been itching to toy around with a BSD on actual hardware and away from the comfort of VMs. NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSDā¦ It doesnāt matter. I just want to āMake it feelā¦ Make it feel alive AGAIN!ā
Hell yeah, this is some amazing bee stuff! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgOYLDf5Wv8
@prologic Thanks š
This is my setup, I think I posted these before:
Itās a Celestron Ultima 100 (originally bought for bird watching, not a telescope) with a special adapter so that I can mount my Canon EOS 600D directly. The sun filter is just a generic filter for 100mm scopes. The tripod isnāt very good and actually rather annoying. š
Itās not a very complicated setup. š¤ Being able to mount the camera directly is crucial.
I was able to take a photo of the large sunspots that made the news these days:

Itās not a super high quality shot, my scope isnāt good enough for that. Still cool to see. š

), I'm going to be deleting 235 accounts today: https://gist.mills.io/prologic/0381c79977384051bb0b4afc89b4893d
I just dropped another 124 useless accounts š„³
One great feature of Vim (and probably other editors) is ākeyword completionā: Type the beginning of a word, then press Ctrl-N and Vim will give autocompletion options by scanning all the words in the current file. For example, when I now type āauā and then Ctrl-N, it will suggest āautocompletionā.
This is so very useful when writing text / prose. Itās especially useful for German text with all those long words like āInformationssicherheitsbeauftragerā. I use this feature all time and I sorely miss it when Iām forced to use some other crappy editor. š©

Wow, so pretty, dude! The one you used on this twt (tiny photo too, not sure what happened here) doesnāt make justice to the entire set. Very good clicks there!

@prologic@twtxt.net and @bender@twtxt.net for a start a single user twtxt/yarn pod could look like this š
This happens more often than I would like. š¢
