Small update to the website. Entries should now be displayed in proper chronological order!

Man... a lot has changed since I first talked about AI in here. Quickly went from a silly little tool to possibly the worst thing to happen to the internet at large since forever. I guess I got my monkey's paw wish to see fully AI-generated literature. Can't say it is what I was expecting. Quite sad to know the web is now permanently stained with it and all the slop it's generated. At least it made that one funny cat wizard picture I've seen floating around here and there.

Small website update! Not much besides fixing up the RSS feed and some routing. Thinking of changing the font of the site later, but I'm still undecided. It's not like the current one looks BAD or anything.

Besides that, I'll soon (tomorrow) be traveling the US of A. Praying I don't get shot!

The months go by and so does life. I've been focusing on university (and a bit of writing) for the most, so I haven't updated this site as much as I'd want to. I've been thinking of doing more rants, but who knows! I don't! I'll certainly try to, as I don't want to leave this blog abandoned.

Also, I finally found the so-desired PDF to Markdown, which can be found here.

So, it's been a while. Gotta say, things have been going great since I last posted here - VERY great, in fact. As you can see, I have no, in fact, remade this site in Astro, nor do I plan to in the future.

It's too much trouble to fix something that's not broken, honestly.

I may start posting some stories now and then while I'm free, but only time will tell. Until next time! (which hopefully won't be another whole year)

I've finally given up on using Emacs as my daily editor. Vim is, sadly, simply more convenient for what I do day-to-day. Don't get me wrong, Emacs is good, VERY good, but it simply doesn't have the community work (plugins/packages) that the Vim ecosystem does. Vim is just way faster for quick file editing, and the configuration is WAY easier and less arcane when it comes to configuring LSP. Like, holy molly, LSP is a goddamn nightmare on Emacs.

This doesn't mean I'll stop using Emacs forever, but its prolly going to stay as my second editor/prose-writing software (hell, I'm writing this very post on Emacs) until I can find a way to make it more usable. I'll still keep it as my N°1 choice on my desktop computer, since I'm using StumpWM, and it would feel wrong not to use Emacs as well. On other news: I'll probably be checking out how I can migrate this Zola blog into Astro.

Why? Because I can, and because Astro is fun to use.

After much pain and suffering, I've given up on Emacs (for a while). Besides being painful to update and open up in a useful and quick way, it just broke on me completely as I tried to update my packages with straight.

I think I'll be going back to my dear and lovely Vim until I gather enough fucks to use Doom Emacs, as it's just not really worth it to spend so much time configuring Emacs and have it not work regardless.

Been inactive for while due to University, but I'll try to post more frequently.

I've finally gotten Hunspell to work for both Spanish and English! This I've also decided to temporarily return to Dark Mode in some programs (e.g Emacs) to see how it feels after around 3 months of using Light Mode almost exclusively.

I'll prolly start posting short stories here soon enough since I've gotten a lot of free time recently. Cheers!

Finally, my Emacs configuration is complete. I have already copied it on my laptop and has pretty much everything I'll ever need from a text editor. I may sync it later between my machines, but that's for much later. The only thing I couldn't get to work was hunspell, which really annoys me, but oh well.

Soon, very very soon, university will start once again! In the meantime, I have been finishing-up my Emacs configuration, which is already over 400 lines long, and have managed to integrate LSP and all other stuff I could want. It's been around 2 months since I last used vim/nvim for anything, and I've already developed muscle reflexes for some of the Emacs keybindings.

Truly terrible stuff.

Soon enough, too, I will add a new section to this site to post stories, tales and other prose-y stuff that I feel like sharing at the moment.
