Here and there...
Jul. 31st, 2017 10:29 amIn recent days, I catch myself increasingly chuckling (if not outright laughing) to myself about all sorts of things—how certain events remind me of various anecdotes, the enjoyment I derive from reciting lines of poetry but with varying emphasis, puns, connections and little epiphanies (such as realizing how Mike Rowe's podcast The Way I Heard It deftly repackages the concept behind Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story segments), the antics of the dogs (during this morning's walk, I could swear that Thumper viewed me as some sort of maypole around which it was necessary to wrap his lead; he must've run around me at least 50 times) and sometimes, about nothing at all, really.
That said, if you think about it, laughing for no reason is probably the best reason for doing so, which creates a sort of convoluted vortex of logic that I'm not even going to try to nagivate.
* * *
I sat down recently to reassess the work flow embedded in my org-mode setup and managed to eliminate a few states, but right now I'm wondering whether the game was worth the candle, since the edits I made to my .emacs file changed the behavior of my setup away from what I have become used to.
In other org-mode news, searches of the file I use to archive information about completed jobs have become slower and slower with time, and a check of the file size—1.8 megabytes—elicited a whistle from me, because the archive is one big text file.
Without going into any detailed analysis, I'm going to assume that the bulk of the information in the file is associated with my best (and currently, by design, only) client, and see how the file size changes if I take out all of the assignment data up to, say, the start of 2016. (Naturally, I'll save the removed information somewhere, but I don't recall any recent searches uncovering any germane 'hits' earlier than 2016.)
[tick-tock, tick-tock]
The dirty deed is done—have I ever mentioned how much I like emacs?—and the archive is now a mere 640 kilobytes in size, which is entirely acceptable, IMO.
Let's hear it for a data point in favor of "assume"!
And now, I must return to my moutons. There's a lot to complete before the end of the day.
Cheers...
