2021-07-12 - Old Computer Challenge - Day 3 - cel
https://celehner.com/2021/07/oldcomp/day3.txt
- did work today on work computer. used old computer for personal email,
  image processing in gimp, IRC, and radio part of the time.
- heard about kernel parameters nr_cpus=1 and mem=512M in the irc channel.
  going to try the mem=512M tomorrow, for the challenge. don't need nr_cpus
  as already have only one cpu here.
- dillo seems to crash a little more on this system that usual. this presents a
  problem for keeping track of read state, e.g. when using ssb/patchfoo.
- no responses about calendar software. commending experimentation.
  searching void linux packages... possible programs to try:
  - evolution - i used this once before; heard it's lighter than thunderbird.
  - radicale - server - i used to run this; probably should again, so i could
    sync calendar between devices.
  - khal - CalDAV based. there are also caldav programs on android.
  - when - "Minimalistic personal calendar program"
  - gsimplecal-gtk{2,3} - "Simple and lightweight GTK calendar"
  - gcal - "Display hybrid and proleptic Julian and Gregorian calendar sheets"
      probably not what i want - unless i'm going to double down on paper.
      but the problem is related to relying on email (google!) calendar at work
  - calcurse - "Text-based calendar and scheduling application"
  - remind - "Sophisticated calendar and alarm program"
  - vdirsyncer - "Synchronize calendars and addressbooks"
  looking more into things...
  - when: http://www.lightandmatter.com/when/when.html
  - remind: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/
    has a GUI, TkRemind: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/screenshot.php
  - calcurse: https://calcurse.org
  ...
  not sure where i'm going with this...
  - more in debian packages: konsolecalendar, calendar, calypso (server),
    claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin, davical (server), dde-calendar (?), etm,
    gnome-calendar, ical2html, korganizer, mhc-utils, osmo, pal, pcal,
    todoman, timesheets, lightning (what i'm using on work computer currently),
    bsdextrautils, timewarrior, wyrd, xcal, redmine (probably overkill)
