### Desktop Ricing
-Been doing this on and off for over three years now. I currently have a decent
-setup with Hyprland on Gentoo Linux. It does most of what I need it too,
-although sometimes it hiccups while trying to handle Zoom.
+I used to be on Hyprland, but since the release of XLibre, I've switched back
+to X and am currently using [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org). I'm really
+enjoying having the flexibility that X provides again. Wayland, almost by
+design, makes it difficult to rice stuff properly.
-I'm gradually packaging the different program configurations and will
-eventually create a git repo here with my dotfiles in a nice, easy to work with
-format.
+Zoom works perfectly on X, even in the browser. I could never get that working
+quite right on Wayland...
+
+I've also adopted many other programs in the suckless softwork suite, include
+st, slock, and dmenu. Now that I am more familiar with C than I was when I last
+tried to use them, the experience has been much more enjoyable and I cannot see
+myself switching back.
+
+Also, in response to the recent unacceptable behavior on the part of RedHat,
+freedesktop.org, and GNOME, I have decided to purge their software from my
+system as much as conceivably possible. I have also started trying to remove
+other sucky software from my computer. Currently, my system is completely free
+of the following:
+
+- dbus
+- gtk
+- wayland
+- pam
+- polkit
+- elogind
+- plymouth
### Health
-A friend from college helped me get started on lifting regularly, and it
-started me on a journey of working on my health. I haven't exercised for a
-couple weeks now, what with studying, graduating, and moving out of my college
-dorm, but I will start again soon with my family.
+I am currently working out four times a week, doing an upper-lower split. I am
+aiming for a low rep range on most of my exercises, which is what I prefer, and
+doesn't seem to affect my gains much.
+
+I plan to switch to an Arnold split (arms/shoulders, chest/back, legs) once I
+move to go to graduate school, and to re-organize my exercise programming to
+include more isolation exercises.
