a few minutes late for work

It's cold today and I couldn't really get out of bed due to headache. I even debated wearing shoes.

Bare feet prevailed but I have boots in my backpack just in case I need them when it snows today

Thanks to an idea by Teal Swan, I have been asking myself what I would do if I loved myself. Mainly: take more time for myself.

brain break

My brain almost broke so it's time for a brain break.

Putting brakes on my brain will keep it from breaking.

The interns said it's raining outside instead of snowing; weather app predicts snow will start at 15:00.

its snowing outside

Apparently it's snowing outside now. I'm glad I brought my boots.

I do have limits on my willingness to walk barefoot!

Except that I need to walk outside about 10 minutes each direction, I could probably go without shoes today.

We shall see! I've not put on my boots yet haha!

It was snowing like crazy for Tokyo, with about 10cm on the ground in my neighborhood. I definitely enjoyed wearing my boots tonight!

just asked phind com for help

Though it was due to .gitignore , I'm keeping this for posterity:

The behavior by git seems strange to me, but Phind immediately gave a reason.

I'm not at my personal computer now, so I'm leaving this link here so I can find it later.

I'll also copy the relevant bits below just in case that's helpful.

I asked:

I have a git submodule in the `journal` directory of my main repository.

Files written into the `journal` directory seem to be ignored by git. Why?

The reason files written into the journal directory appear to be ignored by Git is because the journal directory is a Git submodule. A Git submodule allows you to keep another Git repository in a subdirectory of your repository, while keeping the commit history of both repositories separate. This is useful when you want to include external libraries or other projects within your own project without mixing their histories together.

When you add a submodule to your repository, Git tracks the submodule's content by storing a pointer to a specific commit inside the parent repository. The actual files of the submodule are stored separately, and when you clone the parent repository, the submodule directory will initially be empty unless you explicitly tell Git to check out the submodule's files.

If you're adding new files to the journal directory and they're not being tracked by Git, make sure you're not accidentally creating a nested Git repository within the submodule. If you are, you'll need to remove the .git directory inside the journal directory and add those files to the submodule's repository instead.
