* 2021

** 2021-12

- Collaborated with Mario Goulart to make pastiche (paste.call-cc.org)
  block spam better:
  - https://github.com/ckeen/pastiche/pull/9
  - https://github.com/ckeen/pastiche/pull/10
  - Background: https://github.com/ckeen/pastiche/pull/8
  - Further background: Due to PR #8 not being deployed, I've extended
    judybot to download newly announced pastes, check them against a
    denylist and tell vandusen to delete the paste. This worked
    surprisingly well, but was relatively noisy. Now a new version of
    pastiche has been deployed and it directly blocks the offending
    pastes. Further improvements are planned to deter the spammer.
- Played Advent of Code 2021 using Emacs Lisp and gave up midway
- Split the nov.el keymap into a global and button one to avoid a bug
  with the menu bar

** 2021-11

  emitting a `<pre>` block when encountering an unknown or missing
  language:
