2020-09-13 - Ncurses, autumn and batman 
------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I've been dabbling around a (tiny) bit with ncurses and have been 
reading on how to make programs with it. It seems a very nice 
library to make some more "graphical" CLI programs. On my mind are 
a couple of things that i'd like to make; Some ascii drawing 
program and maybe a little game or two. I'm still a bit unfocused 
though and haven't been able to do much serious programming 
unfortunately. Mostly i've been busy playing with example code and 
making very small test programs.  Hopefully now autumn is on its 
way i'll find a bit more peace and quiet to properly focus on this.

I'm looking forward to learn and mess a bit with the colours of my 
terminal and to find ways how to make a nice interface. Every time 
i'm typing, i notice how i like the interface of the nano editor. 
As i've written before, for me it is a very useful editor; the 
bottom of the screen shows me exactly how to do stuff. I don't have 
to memorize (m)any commands and it is thus easy to learn. Of course 
it is not super elaborate like Vim or Emacs, but those things are 
too complex for my simple needs (and mind).

I'm looking forward to autumn really, and i hope for some cold and 
rainy weather. Unfortunately, i think next week it's gonna be 
nearly 30 degrees Celsius here still... So yeah... that's not the 
type of weather you'd want or expect halfway september.

I don't know how it happened that i need cold, rainy nights in 
order to be able to focus and sit quietly and think. But those 
conditions really help me. Actually, i'd really like to have access 
to a very tiny writer's cabin or so in the woods. Far away from 
everyhing. Or maybe an underground cellar... Underground dwellings 
are the best i think, as they'd really allow yourself to 
disconnect and focus. I guess i envy batman now...

What was i doing again? ... Oh yeah trying to focus... hmmm...
