Figure 1: British Lion
My Bud and 6 stringer Jim Tomaszewski from Trainwreck got us tickets to see British Lion at the Forge Wednesday night. There were two openers, 1 local Chicago band that had a name too complicated to remember. The Picture books 2 member band with the drummer that has no cymbals.

First I have to say, I really like qutebrowser. Its a keyboard driven browser with definable key bindings but initially based on vim style bindings.
Since the mid 90’s the browser war has raged. Netscape, Microgarbage, advent of webkit, etc. Well now the war is in the courts using CDM, and DRM to control copyright.
Apparently now the Licensing of this content protection is going to allow for the restriction of the client software you can use to access this protected data.

Samuel brings up many good points about how this will be abused and ultimately restrict the end user. So much for the utopia of the internet
While searching around github today I came across a plugin for mu4e that is bringing mail closer to what I had with mutt. I switched away from mutt to bring all mail into emacs (spacemacs must have my Vim bindings). mu4e handles maildir and multiple account very well. As well as using Xapian to index the mail, making it’s searching extremely fast. I was missing Tagging though. Which brings me to mu4e-goodies There are two repos in github so make sure to check out the linked repo that belongs to panjie. There is a little file in there called mu4e-goodies-tags.el that implements X-Keyword tags functions to your mail. In spacemacs I use my own configuration layer to load and adjust spacemacs to do my bidding. The files are not available in elpa so one must use the github fetcher.
Well I’ve now learned what having a kidney stone feels like. I cannot say that I ever really wanted to know. Saturday morning Sep 22nd I woke at 3 am with abdominal Pain and nausea. After trying to live through it till Sunday Morning, when I checked into the ER. Had a CT and Blood work. The CT showed a 10mm Stone. YAY!? I was Wheeled up to surgery where they put in a stint. Why the Sonic popping thing wasn’t done was, as explained to me, that it was an elective surgery and there was a line. So Due to that and the ,unknown to me at the time, seriousness of this issue. When one cannot pass the stone one could die from pressure build up in the kidney. Anyway the Stint is keeping the path from kidney to bladder open for now.. Monday I will see a Chicago area doctor and get it address further. Removal or disbursement at least.
I am really getting sick of this circus. The “left”, “liberal”, “democrat”, or whatever they are called. Narrative brainwashed repeaters of non-truisms. I just read Dennis Prager’s Article on why the left is entitled to ignore decency. and I have a few questions.
In the Picture there are people with signs and shirts with statements like.
“Women strike back”.. seems to me to be a first strike scenario here.
“We will not be silent”.. Oh god we can only pray that you one day STFU.
So I’m headed to San Antonio the last week of September to visit corp HQ for Rackspace and visit friends that I haven’t see in a year, since moving back to Chicago

SO! I was practicing last night and started the session as I always do by tuning. A string was a bit flat so I started to increase the tension, and nothing… so I released tension to tighten back into the proper 440 A. and the string falls out of the bridge. What The ‘Fargin Bastages’? Yea after attempting to restring the pin falls out of the tuning key. AAAAAH NO!
