Lots of Practicalli content

After a sleepy weekend recovering from my Brompton cycling adventures I am back to organising the Practicalli books and backing up my computers ready for a reinstall.

I am thoroughly enjoying the second season of Andor (Disney+). I loved the first season and the second is just as good. The only thing I would change is have it spread over 3 seasons as there are more of the story to tell that would fill in the timeline gaps. I think they could even get 4 or 5 seasons out of the story lines.

Last week I did consecutive days riding on the Brompton for my commute into London to volunteer for Devoxx UK. This week I did 2 consecutive rides on my Ribble road bike and my legs are glowing after the second ride.

The first ride was a relatively gentle 64km with 678 meters of climbing spread out over smaller climbs. I did manage a personal best of 17.2km/h up Poll Hill. It was a lovely sunny day for riding and we stopped at a nice cafe with delicious cakes (although non for me as my blood sugar is still too high).

The second ride was a little more challenging at 714 meters of climbing in 57km distance, as there were quite a few long hills to climb. I managed a personal best on the segment from Otford train station to the top of Poll Hill, although I was a bit slower up Poll Hill compared to yesterday as my legs were fading a bit.

Hyde includes a Zsh configuration that uses powerlevel10k (although I am not sure if that was a default or if I selected that option) Switched over to Starship prompt theme

Hyde zshenv powerlevel10k theme

```config title="~/.zshrc" if [ -t 1 ];then # We are loading the prompt on start so users can see the prompt immediately # Powerlevel10k theme path # P10k_THEME=${P10k_THEME:-/usr/share/zsh-theme-powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme} # [[ -r $P10k_THEME ]] && source $P10k_THEME

    # To customize prompt, run `p10k configure` or edit ~/.p10k.zsh
    # [[ ! -f ~/.p10k.zsh ]] || source ~/.p10k.zsh
```

Add the starship init command to the end of the .zshrc file

Starship init command for Zsh

shell eval "$(starship init zsh)"

Arch Linux has the starship package

Install Starship on Arch Linux

shell sudo pacman -Syu starship

Use the Starship configuration from practicalli/dotfiles which is a customisation of the Catppuccin-powerline theme.

Converting the final GitBook I created many years ago to use MkDocs. I have a lot of experiences to share and its long past time I started to share it properly.


Thank you.
