For the i3lock screen I started with a tutorial posted at http://plankenau.com/blog/post/gaussianlock followed by a little additional research to adjust the brightness levels at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/color_mods/#level_gamma which contains several tips and tricks for use with ImageMagick. If you’re curious my final lock config is listed below.

The Netbook still kicking

Three button styles — Three new smaller versions of Gutenberg’s default button design

Button Style Choices — The new buttons should show up in the block editor Styles accordion.

buttons on the front end of th website — The buttons have a similar appearance on the front end of the website.

Standard buttons — These standard buttons are simply too large in text heavy situations.

A little proof that you can still get some work done while listening to music and surfing the web with Trisquel 7 and 2GB of ram in a 7 year old Toshiba NB505 netbook in 2017.

Tonight I ssh’d into my Linux web server zipped up my WordPress wp-content folder and backed up the database. I then downloaded the backups via wget. 🙂

The future is a grim place

With all our advancements in work and productivity… Including the standing desk, people still eat at their desk in the future.

Eating at your desk Captain Lorca, tisk tisk.

With all the advice on Medium and countless other places about workplace productivity… This is what we have to look forward to. 😉
