I'm following the tutorial too. I bought a small piece of land in the tutorial area, but it won't let me build on it.

At first I wanted to skip the buying of land for the moment and continue the tutorial. But I see step 12 is building on the land I bought.

The only other option seems to be to skip the tutorial which I don't want to do. How is this supposed to work?

I think I got that tutorial through either Compuserve, or Usenet via Delphi the information service (years before Borland Delphi). My early stepping stones to the internet!

Thanks for the correction. I must have been on TP5 at that point and lost track of the distinction over the years.

I became more interested in Latin when learning to sing the Carmina Burana, after already knowing some German and Spanish. I haven't learned much beyond that, but still fascinated by it as with all languages.

The pieces look like they retain the shapes I cut them in when stacked. I started cutting them as pie slices, but then tried a few as parallel chops, and they get stacked in those shapes.

Also interesting is the shadows of leaves that stay consistent on the scene as the pile grows, but they don't appear on the splitting area itself.

Lots of engine noise too, I guess that's the ambience in this person's back yard! Probably true for lots of us.

Very simple and beautiful! I planted a couple too.

I wish I could zoom in further to get closeups of trees and names and the mountains.

All the same it's very nice!

My favorite writing implement these days is a black Milwaukee Inkzall ultra fine pen, bought in 4 packs at Home Depot.

I have three primary things I write on, mostly todos for home yard or office, groceries and hardware or tools to buy, and bands and songs to listen to, and the occasional song lyric.

The first is a mini clipboard made from a 3" x 4" piece of cedar shingle and a mini binder clip holding a 4x6 craft paper card folded in half, giving me four sides to write on. On the back side I keep a one-year calendar printed on standard letter paper and folded down to fit where I keep track of my band gigs.

The next one is a standard wire-bound 4x6 note book, mostly for work todos using sort of a bullet-journaling type of progress system.

The third at this point is a regular letter sized clipboard holding scrap one-side-blank printer paper, mostly for meetings.

Then I frequently take pictures of any of these pages so I have a dated copy on my phone.

They also all get added to with typical 3x3 sticky notes in mostly neon colors.

Finally I also do lots of writing in Obsidian, notes in source files with Sublime Text, and sometimes even the StickyNotes Windows app.

My philosophy about this over the last few years is that its better to write something down anywhere on whatever system, even on multiple systems, rather than to try to adhere to one format all the time.

According to the CSS of the page, the font is "IBM VGA 9x16".

No idea about the color scheme but it's nice.

Unrelated to any of this, this font reminds of an old Turbo Pascal program I wrote years ago (decades now) to extract a VGA font from the computer's ROM and use the character bitmaps in my own graphics programs. Nice memory I would not have had if not for your question, so thank you!

Kovcheg is very nice if you like a cappella.

I clicked because it had an interesting design and thought it would be metal! XD

But its a Russian men's singing group and they're very good.

It's the German version!

It was not obvious to me that I needed to click the New button first. I clicked around everywhere else and tried typing and no go. Then after clicking New and getting a text area, it made sense and I said "well of course".

So maybe not too many other people had this problem, but perhaps the top line could say "Click New, then just write." =)

And/or start the page off with a note that describes the basic process:

"click new, write, and click Publish to finish the note, then click Save to save it to index.html on your system"

When I went back to edit a note, Publish didn't work for me.

Trying this in Vivaldi, I didn't try on another browser yet.
