i'd like to propose 2 hour-long evening sessions:
{ - } downtime spell$ -- a gentle introduction to a computer terminal [command line interface] { - } todo{om$} -------- plotting your agenda on terminal with `taskworrior`
---/- downtime spell$
at dusk we'll gather around our machine/computer terminals to cast some spells [run commands].
/ > terminal [command line interface] is a text based application
that deals with text input/output. every computer has it and
anything you imagine doing with graphical user interface [and more]
you can do through a terminal: navigate your computer filesystem,
create/delete files, conjure up images from scratch, edit videos,
install and run programms, log into remote computer, hack the planet and so on.
/ > trick is to know how to communicate with it via particular textual snippets -- commands
we'll collectively read A Map Is A Territory zine :// https://solarpunk.cool/zines/map-is-the-territory/ //which is a very sweet and magical introduction to a command line interface
// This is a place of empowerment, tangible creativity, and mystic bewilderment.
// While it can be dangerous, it's also exceedingly helpful if you know how to listen.
and follow along the commands on our computers to conjure up the grand poetic spell ~ # # *
through this process we'll bypass all the fluff of a graphical user interface and get to know the subtle powers of textual communication with our machines. it was always there -- waiting for you ]]
---/- todo{om$}
after getting closer to our machines, we'll meet again to stitch together our routine schedules/agendas on the terminal. we'll install a calm and collected taskwarrior [a free and open source software] :// https://taskwarrior.org/ //, peak into it and tweak the defaults to fit our needs.
____________ _participants : 10-15
____________ _duration : 1 hour [each session]
____________ _tools -- you can bring your own laptop, but can also follow without -- projector
no previous technical knowledge is required ]]
