...this was causing emacs to crash at startup, probably because I'm missing
a font on this system.

I don't know if I'll stick with vim-airline for my statusbar, but it has
some appealing features.

Dropped terminal fonts down a bit in size.  Seems better to have a
little more context for editing on this display.  At this res, with
those fonts, I get a 147x40 terminal.  It's reasonably legible.

(I'm currently on a System76 Galago UltraPro or whatever it's called,
purchased in August of 2014 or thereabouts.)

Getting old may beat the alternatives, but it sure is kind of shit on its
own terms in a lot of ways.

everything is so tiny my god i am old
