The shell prompt looked very nice. I had assumed it must be starship which was my prompt engine till that point. But looking at XeroLinux’s github, I could not find starship.toml but I found Oh my Posh config instead.
Could my eyes be deceiving me? 😄
So I searched, and it turns out it is (now?) shell agnostic Prompt engine.
The site has install instructions for macOS as well as Linux (and Windows of course 😄)
It supports a lot of different shells, including zsh. They also have good documentation about how to integrate it with different shells. I used the one for zsh
Currently, I’m using XeroLinux’s config almost as-is. That is what I wanted anyway 😄
I wish I could post screenshots of my terminal, but it does not need to be my terminal. Since I use the same config as XeroLinux, and since Oh-my-Posh is OS and shell agnostic, why not check XeroLinux screenshot directly ?
Check the beautiful prompt near the bottom of the terminal window. 👆
Oh-My-Zsh is starter kit for Zsh. Check the site if you are curious ↩︎
It is a beautiful Arch Linux based distro. At least checkout the gorgeous screenshots. ↩︎
I had saved a pencil drawing of a tortoise from the internet. Unfortunately I can not find the link to the original.
I wanted to try a light pencil layer first and then a final layer, but since I did not play around with brushes too much, it did not turn out the way I wanted.
Looking back, I should have used lighter and broader pencil for the first layer, and then HB, followed by darker (2B ?
Today, I wrote an angry email to some support team.
While I was writing it, I realized that while I’m pouring my heart out, the
tone I used will not help. Yet, I could not have made it better without a lot of
effort/multiple iterations.
ChatGPT to the rescue.
I simply pasted my response as-is, and asked it to make it professional
sounding.
This image inspired by a cartoon appeared in the local newspaper. I liked how simple drawing the robot was. (I’m always looking for simple-to-draw sketches)
For the first time, I used color (albeit very tiny, still…) The original sketch had light blue hue for the body of the robot, but I decided not to paint the whole sketch. Just the eyes to draw viewer’s attention was enough.
This time also I used multiple layers.
These are two main characters of O Human Star Comic
When I looked at this comics, I really liked how simple the character faces were. So decided to see if I can draw them. I am likely to draw more characters from this comic in the future.
These two faces were drawn by looking at this page
This is the first time I used layers in HiPaint.
First layer is the a pencil drawing.
The doodle comes from Dave Gray’s old video (Not sure of the source - sorry) But doodle itself was not the interesting thing.
Today I discovered that the Whiteboard app has excellent pen tool. I used the Size 10, and I was able to create excellent calligraphy (if I may say so myself 🫣)
Normally I add the date and name in some other app, but I could not resist writing the date in calligraphy fashion.
This is my attempt to create a sketchnote of the session he delivered during the World Sketchnote Week. 1
Looking at other people’s sketchnotes of this session, I realize that I need to do much better. I’ve just reproduced parts of sketches from his session.
Drawing Dave’s face was original idea, rest of it seems unconnected ideas. I should have used banners, containers, lettering etc.
Next time.
I used a different software this time.
First Install Harper using the method appropriate for your OS.
Then add the following to languages.toml
[language-server.harper-ls] command = "harper-ls" args = ["--stdio"] Restart Helix Editor.
Now you should see squiggly lines under incorrectly spelled words. 🎉
In order to see (and possibly choose) the correct spelling, take the cursor on the error and space a (Code actions)
Add the following to your (platform specific 1) config file
shell-integration-features = ssh-env, ssh-terminfo
Now reload the configuration.
The configuration can be reloaded at runtime by pressing ctrl+shift+, (Linux) or cmd+shift+, (macOS).
on macOS : $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/com.mitchellh.ghostty/config, and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ghostty/config for Linux if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined, it defaults to $HOME/.config/ghostty/config. ↩︎
