    Generate Hashtags

    Today’s problem was especially difficult. Not because the problem was hard, the problem is a no-brainer. No, it was difficult because I decided to only work in Emacs for these challenges.

    Google axes Workspace Legacy Edition

    As if this year couldn’t get any worse, Google decided to discontinue its free Google Workspace Legacy Edition.

    Well, that was a hectic last couple of weeks. When things go south they tend to go south remarkably fast. Over the last few weeks I’ve been busy, so here’s an update. First, I joined a new gym, yay. I like this one, it’s well stocked and has a heated pool. I am definitely going…
