It's day three of Weblog Posting Month 2024!

Whew!

I'll be honest, I was beginning to wonder if I was going to make it today. Today has been challenging, to say the least, so I will be putting off today's reading of the "Writing to Learn" book.

"Why is that?" - I hear absolutely noone asking. Well, I'll tell you anyhow. I do much of my blog posting through emacs using org-mode capture templates. My current emacs configuration is a semi modified doom emacs build which has worked very well for me in the past and continues to do so in the present. Generally. I don't know if I had some kind of hardware issue (which is possible, as my config is hosted on a local NAS with used drives) due to perhaps a recent storm, but my org capture templates were just not working at all. Even after a doom doctor, doom purge, doom build cycle...nothing worked.

Which necessitated a nuclear option of a fresh git checkout of doom and starting over. It's not really a complete do over, though, since I still have my private/personal doom init files that live in a different directory.

All in all, after about an hour and ten minutes of waiting for the build process to finish (ugh...) we are back to par. Yippee.

The actual challenge

Everything stated, I have actually read a bit of the next chapter, and all of the above was initiated because I wanted to take a handful of notes. One item in particular, about clear writing being evidence of clear thinking. Something of which I really need to strive to do - think clearly. With that, and just a little bit of focus, perhaps I can write clearly.
