I had heard about Oh my Posh several years ago. It was in the context of Oh my Zsh ¹ Oh My Posh was its Powershell cousin.

Since (AFAIK) Powershell is on Windows, and I haven’t used Windows in so many years, I had no use of it.

Then few days ago, I came across XeroLinux ²

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.

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 ?) at the end.

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.

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. I was surprised how “real” it felt. The graininess of the HB Pencil (when zoomed) looked close to actual marks made by HB pencil on the paper. (Drawing on the glass surface wasn’t bad either - kudos to the hardware)

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. So I did.

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.

All the (English) words (sentences, paragraphs, chapters, books …) are made up of only 26 alphabets. (Let us leave aside punctuation marks for now 😉)

Similarly, most the (basic) drawing is made up of these 12 basic shapes, hence the visual alphabets.

This English phrase makes it easy to remember

ALL HOT BREADS

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).

Update: (13 April 2026)

Here is another solution, maybe generic, does not involve updating Ghostty’s config file

infocmp -x xterm-ghostty | ssh YOUR-SERVER -- tic -x -

This would work for other unknown terminal type errors as well. Just replace xterm-ghostty with other terminal type which is giving unknown terminal type error.
