+.Sh NAME
+.Nm Inability
+.Nd losing the ability to create
+.
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+For often weeks, sometimes months at a time,
+I lose the ability to write new code.
+I can still make fixes
+and little cleanups
+in my existing projects,
+but if I try to work on something new,
+nothing happens.
+I can't get anything done.
+.
+.Pp
+I think it's now been
+over 3 months
+since I've created anything.
+I don't know what to do about it.
+In the past I've eventually
+regained the ability to code,
+but it's unclear to me how or why.
+I also don't know what
+I should be doing instead.
+Writing code is the only hobby
+I've ever really developed,
+so without it I basically
+don't do anything.
+.
+.Pp
+Does this happen to anyone else?
+How do you cope?

itle='2018-02-05 14:47:19 -0500'>2018-02-05Double-buffer gfb frontendJune McEnroe Still not vsync (seems like a newer DRM-fbdev implementation handles FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC but my kernel doesn't), but avoids flicker from clearing to black for each frame. 2018-02-05Rewrite gfxx bit handlingJune McEnroe Specifies how many bits for each of "alpha" (ignored), red, green, blue. Separates byte-order and bit-order. Much more flexible, but now won't render CARDS.DLL graphics properly due to the skip bit being not where it expects. Also mmaps the file instead of reading it all in. And the default palette and sampling got removed again for now, since it's too awkward to use. 2018-02-05Add flip option to gfxxJune McEnroe This handles upside-down graphics much better than reverse did. 2018-02-05Remove gfxx reverse optionJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Fix gfxx draw stop conditionJune McEnroe Would not draw the last partially visible column when mirrored. 2018-02-04Reuse CGColorSpace and CGDataProvider in gfcocoaJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Mark mac target phonyJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Set up Makefile for gfxx-cocoa or gfxx-fbJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Avoid doing excessive work in gfxxJune McEnroe By stopping when the next column would be off the edge of the buffer. 2018-02-04Handle window resizing in gfcocoaJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Set cinoptionsJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Tweak colorscheme moreJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Color MatchParen DarkYellowJune McEnroe White is not obvious enough. 2018-02-04Add palette sampling to gfxxJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Add 4-bit RGB to gfxxJune McEnroe Replace default palette with alternating black and white. 2018-02-04Add Quit menu item to gfcocoaJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Switch back to sane Objective-C styleJune McEnroe 2018-02-04Quit gfcocoa when window closesJune McEnroe 2018-02-03Apparently this is how people write Objective-CJune McEnroe
