aint got middleman set up on this machine yet

And Emacs app with its own window isn't working either. I'm using Emacs within Terminal window via command line. Only bummer is not being able to point and click with mouse to move the point.

No internet access now, but I may try to install Middleman on here or I might try to install Hugo (is that the fast one?) which I didn't fully finish testing on Debian box before.

I violated my vow to not buy any more Apple hardware when I bought a DVI to VGA adapter so I can use my monitor with Tariq's laptop, which doesn't have HDMI. Breaking my vow was totally worth it though; I got to meet a really nice employee who was so cute I couldn't think of what to say!! She brought back two lovely ten yen coins as part of my change and said she selected them for me, though I hadn't mentioned that I'd like them. But, I did! I do! AND they're from year 23, so four years ago. wow! She asked if I collect coins from other countries, and I said I had collected coins in the US, but dang I didn't think to ask her if she collected coins as well. I did learn she's from California, from a city whose name I won't mention, but was small enough that I hadn't previously heard it. Anyway, she was really cute and nice and she's マイブーム for now.

I figure there's a 20% chance I'll see her when I go into the store to get my computer back. If that happens, I'll tell her thanks for the coins and ask if she collects them as well.

Hmm! Soness texted me after I texted her HI!

Hi! On periscope in
1 min. Join or chat
later ok? Xoxo

Wait what? What's periscope? Probably some autocorrect mistake.

I looked it up cause I couldn't think of what she might have meant otherwise, and, well, periscope is Periscope, an app with which we can "broadcast" live video from our mobile devices.

I downloaded the app on way home from Apple Store and broadcase My Bare Feet while walking up stairs to get Lin's bicycle. Then while on Seaside Line, I broadcast that.

I haven't watched the Seaside Line one yet, but the broadcast maintained a huge advance in retain rate, over a million bajillion times higher than 0% I had before: 3%!!
