The last month has felt like a year, and I spent Saturday decompressing. And Sunday.
And what’s a fun way to decompress? Play with Linux!
First, I wanted a terminal-based music player for my Debian CTWM install, so I installed MOC.
Then, I wanted a terminal-based email client.
I tried Neomutt first, and after an hour and a half of I had no idea what’s going on here… I installed Alpine and had that up and running in about half an hour. Reading email was fine, sending email proved a little more challenging; there was a header issue I had to solve.
So, I can open a terminal and check my work email. Or, I can open a terminal and listen to music.
Or both! I can do both! 🙂
