Thank you for the feedback. What a coincidence, I am busy and forgetful, too :)

I mostly follow the instructions of the friend who got me into it, slightly developed to my liking.

That's an interesting paradigm - so you only mix it with the spoon, no kneading?

Perhaps the thing that annoys me is bakes I see have a somewhat nicer structure. Mine is not too bad (anymore; stopped buying bread a couple of years ago), but there's a little extra "inflating" effect in others'. As I see it, it should be mostly due to the sourdough being weaker, and sometimes messing proving time. There are moments when I'm rushed and can't wait any longer.

Forgot to mention, I keep my sourdough in the fridge the whole time. It gets in the way in the kitchen otherwise.

Hm so my loaves go dry in about 4-5 days, a week if lucky. Perhaps I should aim for more hydration.

The quality seems very variable, here is last week's loaf, same recipe, used a round pot. It felt puffier.

    In emacs, there is http mode, and you can have http code blocks straight in an org mode document, it's amazing. And it works with the overall org babel system, so variables can come from other blocks, potentially in different languages.

    The extreme portability is attractive. If I'm on holiday and only have to work over ssh to restart some services and edit configs, it's awesome. I have actually done it with a pi, with a separate screen. It's great.

    Funnily, I started reading more programming books than ever. My ebook has been a godsent. Waiting for kids during lessons has become a great use of time.

    I somehow thought publishers like Manning and No Starch were doing (relatively) well?
