+# Life this last month
+In life, I've begun using XMPP more extensively for communication. This really began as my PinePhone's microphone went caput. With XMPP, I can use multiple clients, so my communication ability is not dependant on the working hardware of the device with my SIM card in it.
+=> xmpp:zach@zachdecook Chat with me on XMPP!
+For my PinePhone's audio, I can use an external microphone (plugged in by USB), though that doesn't work through the Modem. (Neither does a bluetooth mic). For modem-based phone calls, I need to plug in wired earbuds with a microphone in order to be heard, so I haven't been taking too many calls lately...
+
+# Liberty to work on Libre Software
+
+=> https://sr.ht/~earboxer/php-xmpp-invitation/ I created a new project: PHP XMPP Invitation landing page.
+It's a serverside port of another project to make it easier for people to join the XMPP network: You get an invitation URI, and append it to the page, so they can be prompted to install your personally-recommended client. So far, I've used it once, but expect to use it more in the future.
+
+=> gemini://musicdir.zachdecook.com I created a gemini frontend for musicdir. It uses the sqlite database from apkbrowser, and could probably use some improvements, but is generally fine and does what I need it to (even better than the HTTP site).
+One of the packages I added to musicdir includes MusicXML files. In thinking about what it would take to make a basic, mobile-friendly, MusicXML app, I experimented with Vipsdisp (a GTK4 image viewer), and packaged Verovio (which renders music notation to SVG) for Alpine Linux.
+
+Suggpicker got a new release: v0.1.0. Suggpicker is my soft-keyboard complement used for picking suggested words. While the version number is small, it's gotten leaner and had one new feature added: changing your mind by sliding off of the word. This can help if you often misclick. Since the newline wasn't sent until you let go, in most use-cases, this won't affect performance at all.
+wvkbd (which was the base for Suggpicker) has had some recent activity: lots of patches being merged in (some of my own), and becoming an official SXMO project. Big ups to proycon for maintaining this!
+
+# Happy is the man who finds Wisdom
+
+=> https://lugsole.net/programs/bible/ I started looking into a bible app, net.lugsole.bible_gui. I might contribute some changes to this (in line with some of my bible reading scripts on this capsule), though generally I find physical copies to be more convenient.
+
+Personally, I'm in possession of a good fortune, one that will provide for me, though not temporally. Still pursuing that front.
+The culture's flavor makes me wary of the corporatocracy promoting ungodliness; it's not easy to find a company that I would enjoy working for.
+
+Anyway, thanks for reading! I pray that you may seek after God in all that you do.
