I was wondering why the Rust static site generator was called #Zola, until I realised the Golang based generator I use was called #Hugo


Well played!

Writing gives poor thinking nowhere to hide.


When your invisible thoughts are made visible, you are forced to confront them as they are, not as you wish them to be. You can’t simply take a few minutes here and there, get the gist of the problem, and expect to have clear thinking and unique insights.


Good thinking, like good writing, demands patience.

Good writing is expensive, but poor writing costs a fortune.


Poor writing transfers the work from the writer to the reader. Good writing, on the other hand, nearly reads itself, allowing the reader to spend more time thinking about the ideas than pulling out meaning. Poor writing might be one of the single biggest invisible costs in organizations.

an audio jukebox was the first think i looked for when I moved from MacOS to Linux. it took a bit of trying different players, but there’s been no looking back after Quod Libet.

Been enjoying #QuodLibet as my audio player / local music library for close to 3 years now.


It’s no frills, no fuss, rock solid stable!
Handles my large-ish library of god knows how many formats.
Never gets in the way of my listening.


Big Thanks to Joe Wreschnig, Christoph Reiter & Co over at https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet
