Cool Graphics

Hi there! It is I, The Woodcutter. Quite busy lately, actually.

Today I made a graphic! Well, or, I modified actually a debian wallpaper. I didn't do much to it, I don't think, but the overall composure is quite nice:



So the second one above there, is named /img/boss4.jpg and I've modified an original photo (of myself) a number of times. I don't know how many times I've modified that one to get to the one above, but, it'd actually be more than 4 or even 5. I added some more filters, and an interesting border. You can see this graphic in action on the8woodcutter.sh/xmpp/presence where I use it as a paragraph head photo. That's another cool thing I did, last night actually, was created that web page. What I wanted to do was make a table html object with columns of the XMPP MUC's and another of XMPP JID's (all of which are mine, nobody but myself is on my XMPP server). I wanted to display the actually raw output of a prosody community module named mod_http_presence (found here: https://github.com/the8woodcutter/mod_http_presence (I took the prosody community module code from their mercurial repository and 'forked' it, or whatever (not officially tho) as a git repository, instead of mercurial). This module is rather new, and an XMPP friend of mine actually made it. I don't think it took him very long either. His XMPP name is 0x0An and also he's changed his JID back to his old one, then vanished from XMPP. I wish him well, robomofo as I called him LoL...

Lastly, in relevance to graphic art, you're welcome to join the artwork MUC chatroom on toofast.vip, which I as of only a few days ago returned to XMPP. TooFast.vip wasn't online for a number of months, and no reason really. I was using Packets.cc XMPP server instead. I own a few domains ^^ however the link to the MUC is xmpp:artwork@chat.toofast.vip?join. I'd love others to post their artwork too. Lastly, there's many kinds of art too. There's photography, graphic art, paint, pencil, pen, marker, graffiti, text graffiti using odd unicode characters, there's ascii art, there's artistic expression also which are vast and innumerable. Artwork is works of art. Can you define art? 🕹️ 🎈 🤔 💡 🙌

New times, New Month, Not much new

Yea, I'm back I guess. Life is a rollercoaster sometimes. New month now, and basically a new season. The one before THE ONE (winter, really). Just workin things out. I discovered something completely amazing btw. Digital Ocean VPS's use nested virtualization, correct me if I'm wrong, but I was successfully able to install using qemu/kvm an actual virtual machine on a Digital Ocean VPS. HOLY COW NO WAY. I'm amazed. So ofc, I'll tinker with that. Just gonna slowly climb over this humongous hurdle again at this time in life, omg the strain, so much effort, I think I might die immediately after aaaaaaa, but after that well still good stuff. I really enjoy linux system administration. Enjoy your autumn out there folks!
