    Important update : It turns out that #Epicyon does support full text search of your own posts! I was just told that using an ' (apostrophe) right before the search string indicates a full text search.

    A hidden gem or a not-so-well-documented feature in Epicyon. For example, if I want to find my posts that mention WordPress, I should enter 'WordPress in the search box. If I wish to find out my posts about "colours and composition", I should enter 'colours and composition.

    Yuhoo! My previous boosted toot is why we need good solid text search for fediverse platforms :)

    Contrary to the forecast, it isn't raining right now. And the birds are out, singing.

    "To insist, as these activists do, that humanity must choose between “art and life” is thoroughly foul. Unconsciously or not, the protesters have adopted the position of the ruling class at which they are ostensibly furious.

    "The argument of the powers that be is that the population must decide whether it wants money spent on needed social services or culture. There isn’t money or resources enough for both, they claim."

    1. Anti-oil protesters throw tomato soup on van Gogh’s Sunflowers
      To urge young people to orient themselves toward pressuring the capitalist politicians is a dead end and a serious diversion.

    You cannot save our planet or anything even remotely good by attacking great cultural accomplishments!

    And what kind of a newspaper would normalize such vandalism by publishing pathetic statements like "Bystanders in the National Gallery had mixed feelings about the action."? Really!? Mixed feelings?

    Considering the amount of time I spend each year, investigating into it and helping my friends and strangers with getting their first language going in a GNU/Linux system, I am starting to think that I can save time and energy by doing my own distro that has out-of-the-box Sinhala and Tamil input support. Then I can recommend that distro.

    It's that time again! One of my friends has decided to use one of the latest GNU/Linux distros, obviously because people tend to like shiny new things. So she goes ahead and installs Ubuntu 22.04. It is the usual story. Like each and every mainstream distro, they have fixed things that are not broken. For the umpteenth time since 2005, we cannot find how to enable Sinhala Unicode input with the most widely-used keyboard layout. It's the same story with Fedora 36, Debian 11 etc.

    We are in various degrees of lockdown and practising social distancing.

    That doesn't mean that the truth should be on lockdown mode.

    Governments around the world are exploiting the #COVID19 situation to expand #militarization to all aspects of society. This is very worrying.

    I found some interesting mentions of Banjar councils. https://books.google.fr/books?id=N3XU7eUMSGIC&pg=PA346&lpg=PA346&dq=banjar+council&source=bl&ots=zNqGPVJy-J&sig=ACfU3U2Os4W-SroknLI2QsM9aDnecVUusA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjFy5y0x8jnAhUFxIUKHR1MDs0Q6AEwBXoECAMQAQ#v=onepage&q=banjar%20council&f=false (looking forward to read more when I have some free time.

    Things are much better these days! No major power outages. But I am away in Colombo most of the time, rehearsing a play. If all goes as planned, I will get back to my usual routine / paintings by the end of this month :)

    1. Decentralization and Regional Autonomy in Indonesia
      In 1999, Indonesia embarked on a reform of regional governance that brings self-governance to rural districts and municipalities, i.e., the administrative and democratic capacity needed to apply basic services like healthcare, national legislation and environment policies. This edited volume is the first book, which not only deals with the 1999 legislation but also shows how the deficiencies and contradictions of this legislation reduced implementation between 2001 and 2004 to a try-out. The book also discusses the adaptations that were the focus of the debate on the revision of the 1999 legislation that resulted in the 2004 update legislation and the amendment of the 1945 Constitution. Anthropological case studies of five provinces complement and deepen the findings of the more general survey reports.

    Way too many things happened this year. I wish I recorded them properly; at least as blog posts. It is now difficult to recall some of the important and useful details.

    *sigh*
