IIVQI taught myself a new programming language today: <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gawk</a> (<a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/awk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#awk</a>)I'm pretty impressed at how clean and versatile it is.Also, having a tutorial with very plain HTML-like layout and yellowish background helps enormously: <a href="https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html</a>

Ed W8EMVBefore I started <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/adventofcode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adventofcode</a> this year, I did a "day 0" with a trivial exercise and an excuse to get my test harness and makefiles in order. That was a good decision.I also decided to do AOC23 in awk, and I think I have relearned enough awk to understand why its best use is the one-liner and where it's increasingly horrible as the programs get bigger and more complex.So a decision and a poll.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/awk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#awk</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gawk</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aoc</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aoc23" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aoc23</a>

ken<a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Introduction</a>Hi, I’m Ken, I’ve been on the Fediverse for a couple of weeks now. It seemed silly to introduce myself to nobody when I first started this instance, although I did fill in my <a href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/users/ken" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bio</a>. I’m a <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/writer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writer</a> from England who joined the Fediverse to publicise my work and maybe try to <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/getfedihired" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#getfedihired</a>. I’m still feeling my way around the social aspects of this though, I don’t just want to use this as an advertising platform.Looking back over my statuses for the first fortnight, so far I’ve mostly boosted things I found funny or beautiful. I replied to a few other posts including some responses to <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/sillycuratorprompts" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SillyCuratorPrompts</a> and <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/designchallenge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DesignChallenge</a> – two drawings and a silly poem. And early on I posted another poem, largely to push past the anxiety I felt about the whole social media thing. The last thing I put up was some photos of spring flowers.I already have a blog at <a href="https://kenhutton.uk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kenhutton.uk</a> or <a href="https://kenhutton.uk/atom" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kenhutton.uk/atom</a> for your rss/atom reader. You can find more information about my book ‘Social card games’ there if you’re interested and I plan to post some stories and poems there soon, perhaps some essays too. No promises about when though, as I’m job hunting right now and not putting pressure on myself to do too much else. <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/writing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/poems" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poems</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/poetry" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poetry</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/bookdesign" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookdesign</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/typography" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typography</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/cardgames" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cardgames</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/ttrpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/wargame" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wargame</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/crochet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/knitting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/tunisiancrochet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tunisiancrochet</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/woodwork" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodwork</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/dorset" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dorset</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/walking" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walking</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/gawk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gawk</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/guix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guix</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/tex" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeX</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/publishing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publishing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.kenhutton.uk/tag/design" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#design</a>
