Interviewing for an Engineering Manager at an interesting FinTech company.
The journey into Hyprland continues its never ending (?) journey. I recently discovered HyDE which provides a rich desktop environment on top of Hyprland. Initially the install script was used but it does seem that 
HyDE-CLI tool is a newer and seemingly more effective approach.
Continued to manage my digitised music, including Megadeth, Ozzy Osbourne, Bryan Adams and The Offspring.
Monday was a very productive day after vising the Doctors surgery to give yet another blood sample.
I am enjoying using Hyprland on an old Lenovo Thinkpad X1 and using it to update my weekly Practicalli Journal entries. I feel a long way off using Hyprland as my normal work laptop, but I do like the simplicity and eye candy that Hyprland and HyDE provides to the Linux desktop.
Hyprland tweaks and notes continue throughout the month (year). This week I investigated how the padding around Kitty is configured in Hyprland.
Having a spare laptop for the sofa means I can watch TV and relax while still capturing the highlights of the day.
Currently I am watching Star Treck The Original Series. I am really enjoying Star Trek TOS, more than I expected. It has been several decades since I last saw some episodes.
Discussed options for running a clojure workshop with minimal setup
Set up a Python local environment and installed Material for MkDocs on Arch Linux.
After a very sleepy weekend, my knee and hip are feeling almost normal again. The aim for this week is to walk at least 45 minutes each day.
Using Arch Linux (for Hyprland experiments) takes me back to the mid 1990's when I was learning Linux from the ground up.
At the end of 1994 I was installing Slackware Linux (from 82 floppy disks) and spending hours figuring out what to compile into the Linux kernel (before the days of dynamic loading). There was a huge amount to learn (usually without my own internet connection).
Arch Linux wiki pages have a huge amount of information, showing all the possible options for every piece of software and service. This does present a dilemma of choice.
Having experienced many years with Linux, I know many of the concepts and software associated with a Linux system. I don't need to read all the options, but do find myself scrolling a lot until I find something familiar (or simple).
I have an Arch Linux desktop using Hyprland up and running, using HyDE to configure all the extra tools to make Hyprland useable as a desktop (although there are still some things to tweak and add).
LSP file renaming with Neovim & LSP still fails using the Neovim LSP client, although it is fairly simple to rename a namespace and its corresponding file name using clojure-lsp command line.
