+I've been in China for a day now, and the jetlag got to me so I slept way too early.
+Nevertheless, this has been nice so far. I am currently working more on my analytical
+mechanics book, and I want to learn some group theory and figure out some lagrangian
+mechanics.
+
+I need to work more on the website, specifically the mindmap.

+By the way, my system timezone is not accurate and I just noticed that this is affecting
+my journal times, so I am going to fix that.
+
+Today, I plan to do some more mechanics, specifically stuff relating to angular momentum
+and lagrangian mechanics. I hope to learn more about quantum mechanics theory, so I think
+this is a good starting point.
+
+Also, I would like to learn some general relativity. Although I know the general idea, the
+differential geometry part of it is still hard, so I need to study some of that.

+Basically, I got my mechanical keyboard, a laptop stand, and
+my wacom drawing thing. It's pretty cozy here.
+
+Yesterday, I did a little bit of drawing in perspective. I am not
+currently good at drawing, but i am starting by just doing the basics
+of perspective and I will attempt landscapes in the future.
+
+This keyboard has blue switches. I could not even find that much information
+on the keyboard online, but it is an hp k23. I do not even know if it is good,
+but it can be made good because the switches are hot-swappable.
+
+Anyway, I do like the keyboard a lot, and in the future, I plan to do more
+drawing.

+when i wrote my last blog article because i haven't changed my
+system time yet due to procrastination. Today, I figured out how
+to send org mode emails. I will manage my contacts with org mode

+I've fixed the timezones, so they will now appear correctly. Additionally, I
+have figured out more advanced org-agenda task building, and I will therefore
+use it to build more advanced personal efficiency mechanisms, a set of heuristic
+tools that build more abstract heuristic tools (thus having an exponential effect),
+and also build infrastructure that helps with doing more "useful" tasks.
+
+I've been thinking about this conceptual infrastructure recently, and how primitive
+the average person's infrastructures regarding personal efficiency mechanisms are.
+Emacs and org mode are both examples of personal efficiency mechanisms, and so are
+things like planners, lists, capital, skills, heuristics, journals, notes, and others.

+*** DONE Check if these todos work
+SCHEDULED: <2023-06-22 Thu>
+I am finally trying out using org agenda as a dayplanner,
+and as a result, I want to check if these todos work.
+Additionally, I will be linking my old site to my new one
+(this one).
+** 10:15
+So basically these timestamps work for real now, and this
+todo also works. I have set up exwm in emacs so my qtile
+configuration is no longer being worked on as it is being
+replaced by exwm.
+
+EXWM is nice because the keybindings are consistent. You can
+treat x window buffers in the same way you do text buffers,
+and the modeline can act as a status bar. The modeline has
+battery percentage and time built into it which makes it
+a bar replacement as those two things are the only thing
+I need really.
+
+What's nice is that if there is something going on inside emacs
+and you are in another application, you can see it via the modeline,
+whereas you would need notifications if you were to do this
+in a conventional window manager. For example, i can get irc notifications
+from my emacs irc client by simply glancing at the modeline while I am
+in, say, qutebrowser.
+
+I'm currently looking into xwidgets in order to replace my web browser
+in favor of emacs. If I can do that, then 95% of my computing
+can be done with emacs integration.

+So, today I began looking into using the nyxt browser and integrating it with
+emacs. It's really interesting, actually, you can connect to a repl and have
+the two communicate.
+
+Also, I might update the website's css. This css was meant to be temporary.

+I've realized that switching themes with my configuration is
+really easy because everything is either emacs or my web browser
+(or some other third party application that doesn't need a theme
+anyway). I'm currently trying out the city lights theme, but I will
+probably experiment with more as well.
+
+Today I feel really tired for some reason. Even so, I've been looking
+into category theory and group theory. I don't have any physical books
+on the two subjects, but I do have online copies.

+I haven't done a journal entry for a while, but there are a couple
+of things that are pretty cool and new. I've fixed all my emacs
+config internal bugs, and so the only thing left to do in order
+to make my emacs config perfect is try to do everything in emacs.
+EXWM already sort of achieves this goal, but I want to open the least
+amount of x window buffers as possible as well. Therefore, I've started
+using eww more, and it is actually good. Additionally, I've started
+using GNU Info more and the documentation is actually really good.
+
+I've also been experimenting with eshell. It feels highly integrated
+because of how you can use shell functions as well as lisp functions
+all in one REPL.

+I haven't written a blog post in a while, pain. Basically, recently I have
+been doing not a whole lot because of mood problems revolving around sleep.
+There are a few things that I want to try working towards, and a lot of them
+are internally motivating, but my physical and mental condition is kind of catching up
+to me.
+
+I have gotten evil-mode in mu4e to work because before it did not in doom emacs.
+I am always very tired for some reason and I have no idea why I am tired.
+I guess i could try coffee as a motivator, and that usually works. I think I need
+to exercise more.
