I’ve been knocking around an idea in my head for a while. I want to understand some of the things that are really impactful to humans but seem to be modern enough that I don’t know how or why it’s impactful without an evolutionary link.

For example; writing on physical paper has been linked to better memory retention. Why is this the case if written language is so new (in terms of human history/evolution). Also, the widespread knowledge of reading/writing is really only 150 or so years which is way too short of a time to be impactful on an evolutionary scale.

Spent some time today cleaning up a lot of unused apps and domains on my vps. It was pretty easy with YunoHost through the dashboard. I moved some services around to other domains and simplified a lot of stuff. I think I may be able to reduce the size of my server now that there is less stuff running.

Big storm last night. It was initially supposed to hit us around 10pm but was really slow moving and took until about 12:50am to get going. At least that’s when it woke me up because I fell asleep waiting for it. I did stay up and watch the lightning and wind for almost an hour before it was passed us and started to calm down. I would have preferred it been earlier in the night but I guess I shouldn’t complain.

Watched the first episode of Common Side Effects today. It was free on YouTube. Really enjoyed it. I’m a big King of the Hill and Mike Judge fan.

It is really cool being able to write directly from my browser.

Made some more updates to the web editor created for writing content for this blog. One of the big changes was going from a simple textarea to using the medium-editor node module.

Sneaking in another test post after some changes

This is a test from a new webapp I created to write markdown and save it to my blog directory on my VPS. Hopefully this will make it a bit easier to publish content.
