As of [[2022-03-26]]:

• An Agora exists. It is https://anagora.org pull.
• Flancia Collective exists. It is in the Agora.
• I try to write [[Wikilinks Everywhere]], even in platforms that don't yet support wikilink resolution. Please assume that all links point to https://anagora.org pull; they can be looked up there, or you can automatically resolve them using extensions.

I am back here after a long hiatus. 2020 happened, I was very busy at [[work]] working on [[Covid]] response and then on reliability projects. On my free time I built an Agora: some coding, some writing, lots of meeting interesting people. And, of course, I lived -- we lived :) Happily, I have to say. I am thankful.

All posts on flancia.org are also automatically published on anagora.org/@flancia as of the time of writing. I also write to the Agora from my digital garden as anagora.org/@flancian.

• [[covid]]
  • coughing yesterday night was annoying, but apparently's better now; I have a sore throat though, so I'll likely skip [[flancia meet]].
• #push [[wolfenstein 3d]]
  • [[john romero]] reminisces: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/03/achtung-john-romero-exposes-wolfenstein-3ds-history-in-gdc-post-mortem/
  • played this when I was a kid -- on my [[286]] with a [[soundblaster 16]] :) I remember not having sound sometimes because of the lack of memory, having to fine tune config.sys/autoexec.bat to make it work (likely with the help of my brother?)
  • I really liked the intro melody to this game, took to sometimes humming it. Unfortunately, as I came to discover much later... yeah, it's a nazi anthem. So no more humming.

    • DONE [[edit]] https://flancia.org pull

      • DONE check out [[flancia]] repo locally (!)

        • not having it readily available to edit has made it harder to work on
        • even disregarding risk of [[cringe]]
        • but actually [[become dorcas]] was needed, so perhaps this was not that important

      • [[an open letter to x]]

        • [[an open letter to an open society]]

    • LATER [[building bridges]]

      • every [[agora]] is connected to every other [[agora]] via a number of [[bridges]]
      • perhaps connected to [[open letter to an open society]]?

    • LATER [[monastery]]

      • I think often of the monasteries of [[meteora]]
      • how they are connected to the mainline by draw [[bridges]]
      • what if they were all connected to each other?
        • (they would be, if they contained an [[Agora]])

    • DONE [[tech worker]]

    • [[hopscotch]]

  • #push [[aronia]]
    • #pull [[aronia zine]]
  • #push [[do]]
    • [[go/aronia zine]] should work -- #go should be optional (although if present it upranks?).

• How do we check [[enemy]] [[decision]] and response [[time]]?

2022-03-26

• I've been reading [[Red Plenty]] by [[Francis Spufford]]. It's very good.

• Lately life circumstances have meant I'm watching a lot more 'mass appeal' film and TV and reading less. Which is fine, it's entertaining and convivial to relationships… but sometimes feels like time not particularly well spent as far as my own interests go. Maybe if I whack in a bit of a pop [[cultural studies]] lens I'll get more out of it. Possibly horribly pretentious? Maybe, but hey ho, gotta be true to thine ownself.

• What are alternatives to the [[Hero's Journey]]?

• Cleaning the house time is also podcast time.
