double column grids

Used to think blogger sucked. thought the html editor was ugly and lacked features. kind of like it now, just keep a tab with codepen open to generate some boilerplate and emmit. I like to put comments with emojis so i can find my way around better visually. One thing i didnt understand before was line wrapping in text editors. knowing when to break the line and why. my big breakthrough was when using this vim editor on iphone called buffer. Whats the point in using jk to go up down when you have arrow keys? Realized that arrow takes you up to the above text (like any normal editor) while j and k go to line numbers!!! So that can be really annoying untill you wrap your head around it. Its actually really great if you untrain yourself to stop pressing enter to manually break the line in between tags. I hated how they didnt go all in with the vim commands in buffer. its lacking the {} jumping)( vi} it was really bugging me but the good thing at least was that it forced me to get creative with moving around. using /? to jump to words because T and F dont work either which is brutal. at least It taught me some new tricks by trying to think how to get the motion i want by working backwards from the available commands in the manual. I never wouldve come up with that if my default choices were available. (idk if theres no rel line jump or i forgot to turn it on) at the time I thought gg23 was too much to type if i wanted to go down to 23 was trying b and w around but i got some good practise also with ^ $ 0 going to the start of the lines and entering in text with a and i. really getting to know the dif between the two especially when editing the beggining of a tag vs the end of a tag. I edited 20 articles, converting the headings and p tags from plain text to html. it really got me thinkin. really good vim drill. its those times where you really appreciate what vim can do for you. when you think about going back to the mouse afterwards its actually painfull.

Aww I broke it. Switching to the compose mode may lose a part of your content. once you go in too deep and save, you can't get out of html mode. and theres no live server live vscode. well I guess you can just keep ol trusty codepen going in another tab and just push the changes manually from time to time. that grid generator is also soo good. emmits got me feeling powerfull "div.links>a*2". yeah okay it kind of sucks a little bit that you your going in blind and if you break your code theres no going back but thats also part of the fun. "its not a bug its a feature". yeah thats still not good. probably just coping so hard I have no clue anymore I need to sleep. It was really good for a while though untill it broke and now theres a big gap a the top for no reason and I dont know how to get rid of it. is it my emojis? i hope not. maybe an unclosed tag somewhere. I think the emojis are a bunch of unicode symbols put together and maybe there spelling out something like blank space ampersand (n b s p). arrgs thats bugging me now. Theres this thing called "bike sheddding" where you waste a bunch of time on something less important when dividing up your time between tasks. something to be avoided. maybe this instance isnt that but it reminds me of that word I recently learned. losing the big picture getting hung up on details. And time goes on. thats the problem is being able to focus is a gift and a curse. some people cant focus at all. sometimes the best thing you can do is fold up your laptop and walk away from the computer to touch the grass. go outside get some sunlight. breathe the good air. go for a walk. thats where the real good ideas come from. no good ideas happen in front of a computer. its all from the walking around in the forest thats where real websites come from.
