Slept from ten-thirty to six-thirty.
High of twenty-one today. Scattered snow.
We got more snow last night than expected. The morning commute was slow.
Work:
- Start Patch Tuesday ticket
Done.
- Work on MECS
Done. Good progress.
Fifteen-minute walk at lunch.
Snowy and windy. I'm glad I wore my boots this morning.
Home:
- Renew my personal Let's Encrypt certs
Done. (I should probably automate renewal.)
- Golang something
A bit.
Ten-minute walk after I got home.
Silent night, and the crunch, crunch, crunch of footsteps compacting snow.
Hmm. What about a personal presence service?
Like, I want to see notification about various things on my current console, wherever that is.
Bash PROMPT_COMMAND?
Zsh precmd hook?
We might want a local daemon running to *pull* notification from a central server.
Are we tiptoeing into the "unified communication" territory?
Faux Bat adjacent?
Framing question: do you use `mail` to send internet email, or mostly for administrative alerts?
Let's focus on the presence aspect for this little experiment (Tinker Bat?).
- A thing on the client that sends a message to the server upon activity (e.g., Bash PROMPT_COMMAND).
- When a client checks-in, the server sends it any queued messages.
Lunch: coffee, gyro
Dinner: carrots, chips
