http://billstclair.com/journal/categories/glory.html Makes my heart sing en Bill St. Clair Lisplog http://billstclair.com/journal/music_week.html <p>Tonight is the dress rehearsal for tomorrow's <a href='https://knoxvillechoralsociety.org'>Knoxville Choral Society</a> concert, at <a href='https://centralbearden.org/'>Central Bearden Church</a>. Looks good for bicycling there tonight (but possibly wet getting home tomorrow night), on my newly-revived Super73 (I got a new charger yesterday).</p> <p>But before then, <a href='https://www.accuweather.com/'>Accuweather</a> forecasts a little sun appearing behind the clouds shortly after noon. I'll be there (inshallah).</p> Thu, 19 Feb 2026 16:48:01 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/dave_winer_lost_access_to_his_x_account.html <p>Dave Winer, who I consider the inventor of the weblog, <a href ='http://scripting.com/2026/02/16.html#a134658'>can no longer log into X.com</a>. His account has also been switched to private. He's had me blocked since I dared to disagree with him, but I still devoted an X Pro column to him. No longer useful. Sigh...</p> Tue, 17 Feb 2026 12:59:07 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/elmlog_continues.html <p>Having fun writing Elm code for <a href='https://elmlog.org'>elmlog.org</a>.</p> <p>Itching to get outside, but it's going to rain for the rest of the day.</p> Sun, 15 Feb 2026 20:18:52 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/bike_battery_is_toasting.html <p>I've wondered how I managed to ride with the same pair of batteries for four years. Well, I didn't. My battery usually lasts until the indicator is on 1/4. Now it dies at just under 1/2. Maybe this battery DID break the charger. It always blinks red when you plug it in now, instead of showing steady green. New charger on the way. I think I won't plug it into the more-used battery.</p> <p>Fortunately, I have a back-up bike that I can use when the primary is down.</p> <p><img src='images/hey-bike.jpg' alt='Hey Bike' width='500'/></p> Fri, 06 Feb 2026 10:46:03 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/elmlog_is_alive.html <p> <a href='https://Elmlog.org'>https://Elmlog.org</a> is up. It doesn't say much, yet, but that's coming.</p> Thu, 05 Feb 2026 15:01:18 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/glory_all_around.html <p>I've decided to use this as my primary text editor for posts (those that don't need Emacs editing capablities). I'll post them here on the blog, first, then copy to or link from elsewhere.</p> <p>Hoopla! Oink! Oink!</p> Tue, 03 Feb 2026 22:09:08 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/its_cold_and_the_roads_were_snowy.html <p>Had a couple of days with no high above freezing, and lots of snow on the bike paths. People don't realize that cold snow is only as slippery as any similar crystal powder. Except when it melts or gets wet. The water will refreeze, and be VERY slippery. But there were lots of dry spots today, so I expect the sun to do its work on them tomorrow, too, even from behind clouds.</p> <p>People make big holes in a frozen snowy surface. Hundreds of them make for a very bumpy bike path.</p> Sun, 01 Feb 2026 21:51:30 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/elmlog_ftw.html <p>I already missed yesterday. Sigh... Blogging every day will be hard. But it will get easier once I write Elmlog.</p> Wed, 28 Jan 2026 14:10:07 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/dave_winers_feed_reader_is_called_feedland.html <p>http://feedland.com</p> Mon, 26 Jan 2026 15:05:33 GMT http://billstclair.com/journal/blogging_rocks.html <p>Maybe I'll follow Dave Winer's lead and blog every day, with short posts, and occasional long stories. </p> <p>Or maybe not. Time will tell.</p> Mon, 26 Jan 2026 12:44:21 GMT
