Setting up i3 when you use Dvorak

The process to set up i3 for use by Dvorak users is maddening and works unlike any other window manager or software I've used previously. It's especially difficult for me since I don't remember QWERTY anymore (it's been 14 years for me) and I have Dvorak positioned keys on my keyboard.

Anyway, here is the unpleasant process to get it to work at a bare minimum. I haven't found this documented in a single place elsewhere, and the steps usually assume that you understand how to do something in i3 already.

Download and install i3. I read you need these other packages as well. I'm coming from Ubuntu.

sudo apt install i3 i3status dmenu i3lock xbacklight feh

Embedding a twitter stream in Jekyll

PICO-8 size optimization stuff for tweetcarts

Here are some simple ways to make your PICO-8 code fit in ~~140~~ 280 characters (as in the #tweetjam #tweetcart craze). I did not invent these, I merely observed and collected them from the tweetjam thread.

LUA syntax stuff

Use single character variable names
Use x=.1 and x=.023, not x=0.1 or x=0.023
x=1/3 is shorter than x=.3333
You don't need to separate everything with spaces or write them on their own lines, e.g. circ(x,y,1)pset(z,q,7) works just as well

	require("L5")

	local lines = {}
	local lineCount = 10
	local velocity = 3

	function setup()
	windowTitle('Walking Lines')
	size(680, 680)

	[ 10 print implementation in an experimental stack-based language for
	the gameboy ]

	!section tenprint rom0

	!staticvar @seed wram0

	^inchl_entrypoint
	$ab &seed put
	jp &tenprint
