Slept form eleven to seven without waking.
High of fifty-three and sunny today.
Work:
- Check on SQL backup for Hazel Park
Done.
- Meet fiber installers
Done.
Thirty-minute walk at lunch.
A beautiful day, warm and breezy.
I saw three hawks — two distant gliding (probably red-tailed) hawks, and a nearby (probably sharp-shinned or possibly Cooper's) hawk.
Home:
- Continue Gnome 3 test drive
Done.
Another half-hour walk after I got home.
Blue and orange sunset.
Still surprisingly warm and breezy.
The slightly-more-than-half moon shows off the running clouds.
Gnome complaints (the non-minor ones):
- Label the workspaces so I know where I'm at and where I should move windows!
- Gnome badly needs a "switch-to-last-used-workspace" keyboard shortcut!
I feel like the Gnome developers don't heavily use workspaces themselves.
Gnome's "Type to search..." feature could be very powerful, if Gnome gave us a way to tag workspaces and windows with searchable keywords.
With a few tweaks, Gnome could be a usable desktop for me, but I'm going back to i3.
After I messed around with Gnome, xscreensaver and xautolock have somehow failed.
I guess this is a good time to switch to i3lock.
$ cat ~/bin/xlock
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/i3lock -f -e
Washed a load of laundry, vacuumed, and changed sheets.
Lunch: coffee, gyro
Dinner: carrots, chips
