Hello, Yukon 208209. Yes, this is Candy Mattson. The national broadcasting company presents Candy Mattson, Yukon 208209. This is the start of a mystery. Our main character is a San Francisco girl detective, Candy Mattson. There are others in the show too.  There are a few other voices along the way too. I think that has all the makings of a good mystery show, don't you? Well, let's go on from here and find out. So, here's Candy Mattson. Like the man just said, this is the start of a mystery. Christmas had me completely tuckered out. No one had invited me to the Rose Bowl game or what the east-west keys are, so I decided to make like a bear and hibernate over New Year's. It worked out perfectly because my old friend Rembrandt Watson put it. You wish to be 1950 in some remote spot, is that the idea, Darv? That's the idea, Ducky. I have a perfect place for you. A dude ranch, reasonable, just on the other side of Sonoma, in the Valley of the Moon. Valley of the Moon. New Year's Eve in the Valley of the Moon. Rembrandt, that sends me. Good. Maybe it can send us both. I have a commission to take some pictures up there for a brochure they're putting out. I have to be there tomorrow afternoon. I see you are nibbling at the bait. I shall be blunt. Why don't you drive me up? You've won your point. I'll pick you up tomorrow at what time? Let us be spectacular and say hi noon. Hi noon. And do bring some cash. Will you, girl? I'm a little short. I thought you were going out there on a commission. Yes, I am. But they have some simply divine one-arm devices. And? And there goes my commission. Naturally, a girl has to look right. To welcome in the New Year. That gave me the perfect excuse to squander a few hard-earned dollars and cents on some lovely clothes that didn't make sense, but cost dollars. The afternoon was aging gracefully. A little gray here and a wrinkle or two there. So I stopped for a parfait, very dry and no olive. With that mission accomplished, I headed back over Carney Street. And as I wheeled past Portsmouth Square in the Hall of Justice, I realized I hadn't seen my charm Mallard in quite some time.  But when it comes to me, he very conveniently carries his own fog around. Well, candy, my little cupcake.  Sure, it's still the Christmas season. Let's be charitable, I always say. What do you always say? In a situation like this, nothing. I just exude a stream of steam from the top of my head. Very cute. What brings you around our boarding house? You, darn it. I thought you might like to know I'm going away for a week. What did they get you on? Petty theft? Yeah. And they got me as I tried to make my getaway on a tricycle. But for your information, Inspector, I'm spending my New Year's Eve up in the Valley of the Moon. Oh, want to get away from it all, huh? That's right. You in particular. In that case, may I get you a midwinter vacation off to a flying star? You can try. How? I'm not working tonight. How's about a movie? You've got yourself a date. What's playing? Text-A cup. That's what I thought. Where's Tex and his faithful horse Mustard playin' this time? Well, at the Plaza. And the pictures of Pip, too. Oh, dad. I read all about it. Yeah. Hot lead over Laredo. Look, here's the ad in the paper. Oh, I can't wait to see it. Show me. Yeah. A searing epic of the West's wild grandeur. Men as rugged as the mountain. A singing saga of scorching bullets, strumming guitars and supple senoritas. And starring the champ of the cowboys. Text-A cup. Oh, what more can one ask in a motion picture? Popcorn. Oh, we'll have that, too. I went home, did some packing for the trip the next day. Fixed something to eat, and then changed into my spurs at Jingle-Jangle for Text-A cup. Mallowed a ride. We took off. We got to the early show, so we managed to get some good seats. Of course, he wasn't kidding about the popcorn. He got a great big bag of that. Fumbled our way down the darkened island, found a place to sit. The movie was almost over. Oh, that's the whole thing. Looks like a gosh-dang-fram up to me. I am an old reindeer in you. Here, Katie. These seats are okay. They must have gone out of way, all right. Oh, I'm sorry, lady. So am I. These seats are okay. Oh, uh, have some popcorn. No, no. Oh, it's so good. What? I said sure is good popcorn. Oh, sure. You don't want some? What? I said, are you sure you don't want some popcorn? I keep saying no. No, thank you. I don't want popcorn, my dear. If you'll pardon me. I'm going home and catch this on television. After hot lead over Laredo, I suffered through six reels of a bouncy college picture. Freshmen looked like holdovers from the early days of the war. Then a news reel. Then a cartoon. Then the trailer. Then again, Texaca. Well, we got out about midnight, and I drove Mallard back to the Hall of Justice. As he got out of the car. Oh, wow. Oh, now that's what I call sharp dialogue. On leaving the lady, all he can say is, oh, wow. Oh, nothing personal, Candy. Now, I like that. Well, I was just thinking, you're going up to the Valley of the Moon for a rest. Is that the idea? Well, yes. That and trying to get away from Texaca. I know you too well, Candy. You're not going to have any rest. Look at the headline on that paper in the newsstand there. Man missing in Sonoma Mystery. And Sonoma can have it. Mallard, dear, if I so much as step inside the Sonoma City Limits, you can come and lead me away quietly. You know something? I'm going to remember that. Mallard waved goodbye and went inside. I didn't like the way he said that. But I had other things to think about, such as getting home and getting some sleep. So I did. And in the morning, I drove over to California Street, picked up Rembrandt. We headed out across the Golden Gate Bridge up toward Sonoma. The Valley of the Moon wasn't too far. A couple of hours of leisurely driving, with time out for readjustment. And you're there. Then another eight miles north and east, and there was the Dude Ranch. This is it, dear. What do you think of it? Perfect. Just perfect. Wait, Rembrandt, it's a real ranch. Of course, Darv, a going concern. They only take in guests as a sideline. Oh, here comes the man. I imagine that's Mr. Larran, the owner.  Good morning. How do you do, sir? Would you be Mr. Larran's perchance? Yes, and you? Watson. Rembrandt, Watson. I'm here to take some pictures for you as we discussed via the bell system. Oh, yes, Watson. Right on time. That's good. Oh, candy. May I present Mr. Larran's owner of the double L, Miss Matson. How do you do? Miss Matson was wondering if she could get accommodation for about a week, Mr. Larran's. What? Now, wait a minute, Watson.  Oh, I think you're laboring under a misapprehension. Hold it, Rembrandt. Look, Mr. Larran, I'm here as a commercial guest. I'm not asking for any favors. And I doubt if I'd stay here now if you got down on your bended knuckles. Oh, now, wait a second. I didn't mean it just that way. I apologize. It's only that, well, I've had some tough luck with people lately who seem to be only two intend on beating me out of their bills. Please, Miss Matson, excuse me. I just jumped to conclusions, that's all. I think you set a new record for the jump. Oh, forget it, though. Do. Okay, I'm sorry. Do you have room for me, Mr. Larran? Oh, yes, yes, of course. A delightful cabin just in back of the ranch house. Not being prepared, it'll take about an hour to get it in shape. Will that be all right? Yes, sure. We can eat in the meantime. Fine. I'll get one of the boys to fetch your luggage. Oh, you can park over there under the old stables. Oh, no garage? Again, I have to apologize, Miss Matson. The garage is overloaded now. We have a sheriff's posse up here. The old of the ranch next to mine disappeared yesterday afternoon. The sheriff is searching the entire vicinity around here. Doug, are you all right? Well, speak to me, girl. What is it? I'm all right. I just happened to think of something mallard once said last night. I pushed my assembled horsepower into the stables where they belonged, and Rembrandt took me by the arm and steered me into the ranch house. It was a beautiful place. A tall, cathedral-like living room with a crackling fireplace about the size of daddy's inferno at one end. Off to this one side of the fireplace was a cozy little bar. The sun was just going over the yard arm, so I figured an old-fashioned would be quite in order. Old-fashioned was right. Behind the bar was the personification of an old-fashioned cowboy.  Well, howdy, Tick. It seems like as if I done tore you in a movie last night. Howdy yourself, ma'am. Nope. Must have been two other cowboys. I've been working here at the double L for almost five years. Mama's steak, partner. Matt says to handle what you earn. Is that the way cowboys talk, ma'am? Yeah. Hollywood and vine variety. I'm glad to know you. Call me Jeff, Miss Madsen. This is Rembrandt Watson. Rembrandt? Jeff. Are those shoulders sewn in, or are they real? I'm afraid they're real. Hiya, Mr. Watson. You riding herd on all those bottles back there, Jeff? Yep, for better or worse. Chang, our regular bartender, took powder on his day before yesterday. Uh-oh. Seems like he picked a bad time to do a run-off. Oh, you mean the missing Jeff from Glen Valley? Glen Valley? Yeah, that's the ranch next hour. I understand the police are on the lookout for Chang, but he didn't do it. He's a good, honest Chinese boy. Even so, it's a bad time to disappear. Oh, I admit it doesn't sound good. Well, few folks won't mind the efforts of an amateur dispenser. What can I do for you? An old-fashioned for me, Jeff. Well, I can try. From now on, it gets easier. Rembrandt only wants to cope. Well, I can fix that all right. Uh-oh. Here comes the Duchess. The Duchess? Yeah, one of our guests. She's been here about two weeks, and she can go through distilled spirits faster than a buzzsaw through mushy pine. And I hope you're prepared to talk. Always, always. Hello, my dear. You just arrived, haven't you? Mentally or physically? Oh, my! A sense of humor, too. I shall enjoy your company. Are you staying long? Well, I'm not sure now. My plans are rather indefinite. Oh, you'll love it here, Miss... Met. And may I present Mr. Rembrandt Watson? Charmed, I'm sure. Now, me life has come in. Oh, you delightful lad. Jeff, dear boy. Make me just a little nip for the old favorites, will you? Sure. One painkiller coming up. Here's your old-fashioned, Miss Matson. Thank you. Mr. Watson, your coat. Young lady, you must be an actress.  No, I'm not. I used to be an actress, sort of a famous one. I toured all over the continent with the greatest of stars, the finest of play. I was the toast of London, Berlin, Vienna. Yes, but I... I had kings and princess who were shipping at my feet. Oh. I was once the vortex of an international incident. But no matter, those days are gone forever now. I... Here's your tani. Oh, thank you, Jeff. Well, as we used to say, here's to crime. What was that? It's a perfect toast. We have quite a mystery in this part of the country, young lady. I can't understand. Mr. Ferguson had everything to live for. Mr. Ferguson? The man who owned Glen Valley. Well-said, good-looking, in the best of health. You seem to know quite a bit about the gentleman, Duchess. Only what I read in the newspaper, and I can't understand it. Well, as I said, here's to crime. We dallied at the bar for a few more moments. Then Jeff informed me that lunch was ready and Rembrandt and I ate. We managed to duck the Duchess. I don't think I could have taken her with food. After lunch, Lawrence showed me to my cabin. It was, as he said, delightful with a warming flame in the fireplace. It was cheery and comfy, and I felt completely at home. Lawrence left to talk to Rembrandt. They were going to discuss the pictures he wanted taken. I felt like going riding, so I changed into my jeans and started to leave. But as I did... Oh, sorry, Miss Madsen. I didn't mean to frighten you. You did, Jeff. I was just about to knock when you opened the door. You were in riding clothes, and that answers my question. The question being... Well, were you going riding? You see, the boss wanted to know if you were going riding, and if so, did you want some company? I usually show the guests around the acreage. Well, yes, that'd be wonderful. And how long do you want to be out, Miss Madsen? About three hours or so. Sure. In that case, we'll take the Deluxe tour over across the back 16 up through Manzanita Canyon. You know, when we get up to the top of Iron Mountain, there's a whole valley of the moon. That's for me, Jeff. Let's hit the leather. Jeff was obviously born to the saddle and came into this world teething on a tether rain. He couldn't tell where the horse left off, and Jeff began a real rider. We nosed out through the clump of ranch buildings and on into open space. I had a fine horse under me, and I really felt like I was living. We'd been riding about an hour when we came across a little stream. How long have you been a cowboy, Jeff? Oh, about as long as I can remember. Around here? No, up around Montana. Little by little, I gradually drifted further west. Hit upon the valley of the moon about five years ago. Fell in love with it. I've been here ever since. Reckon I'll stay here, too. No, I don't blame you.  Well, that's what I'm here for, man. Good. Because I've got a couple more. What's up that little draw there on the other side of the creek? Nothing but a tangle of manzanita. Scrub oak and brush. Pretty hard to get to there, huh? Hard. It's impossible. Well, I've seen chipmunks get fouled up in that draw. Uh-huh. Then how come those boot prints are going right up there? Boot prints? I don't see any. Well, hey, you're right. Either boot prints are the result of shoes with Cuban heels. Well, now, there is a strange one. Exactly what I thought. Say, you know something just dawned on me? Matt said, didn't I see your pictures in the fiscal papers a couple of weeks back? San Francisco. Big party. San Francisco. Oh, yeah, San Francisco. Excuse me. Sure. You know, the way you was asking those questions just now, it hit me.  I'm afraid you got me, partner. Uh-oh. Wait a minute, Miss Matt. Listen. That's tough, Jeff. Too late now. Wow. Well, there. What are you doing over this way, Jeff? Hi, boss. Well, sir, you give us quite a little start. You haven't answered my question. Oh, we just stopped the wall of the horses, Mr. Lawrence. Miss Mattson, here's the mighty fine rider if you wanted to make the big circle of the rent. Well, you certainly picked a fine time to do it. Well, Sheriff Poffy is out around this way. Your lively gets shot. Now get back to the ranch, pronto. Just a moment, Mr. Lawrence. You've been uncivil ever since I got here, and I don't like to be dictated to. It's like being on board ship, Miss Mattson. The captain is the law. I am the owner of this property, and you'll do as I say. Now get moving, both of you. And if you don't like my attitude, you can leave anytime you want. Leave? Now? Yes. Oh, no, Mr. Lawrence. I'm beginning to find your ranch extremely interesting. Jeff and I have wheeled our horses about and sifted back to the ranch house. I looked back a couple of times, but there was no sign of Lawrence. I was mad, and Jeff must have sensed it because he was smart enough to keep his mouth closed. As I dismounted at the stables and headed for the house, he waved me a forlorn adios and disappeared. Just as I went through the door, I was greeted by Rembrandt. Oh, there you are. I was about to institute a searching party for you. Oh, I was safe enough until I gained the grips with a thing called my own temper. Have you been doing ducky? I've had a most delightful afternoon in Candida. I've been playing canasta with the duchess. Canasta? Oh, you don't know how to play canasta. I know that, and you know it, but I don't think the duchess does. She celebrates each hand with a hefty pull on her bitters. Why did you manage to make any sense out of the game? Well, that has me puzzled too. All I do is put down some cards, any cards, and she'd congratulate me. Maybe you've got a green thumb for the game. Incidentally, I thought you were going to be taking pictures this afternoon. Call off and account for the law. Hmm? Mr. Lawrence had to ride out into the Lone Prairie and deliver a phone message to the sheriff. He's making like ghost riders in the sky out there. Do go and change, dear. The smell of horses. Yes, I know. Incidentally, the way to have a soiree this evening, two more guests arrived. The crook tells me that to be a little entertainment after dinner. Good. Around here, anything will be an improvement. I didn't tell Rembrandt I was going to change, so it wasn't a fib when I stayed in my jeans. I went back to the stables, got the boy to rig me another horse, and headed out toward that creek again. I rode fast at this time, because I'd noticed something else there besides the boot print. It was a battered 10-gallon hat on the far side of the creek with studded initials J.F. on the crown. But when I got there, the cupboard was bare, but good. Not only was the 10-gallon hat gone, but the boot prints had been completely obliterated. I stayed for another few minutes of study and frustration, and then went back to the ranch. I changed, met Rembrandt, had dinner, and then we relaxed in the living room. Oh, Dove, I'm so full. This outdoor living makes me ravenous. Outdoors? I don't think you've stepped out of this building since we got here. Well, then it's the thought of outdoor living that does it. Oh, there are the new arrivals. I'm a lot of fire. Did you meet them? No. They looked at me as though I might soil their escutcheon, whatever that is. I can see what you mean. Hi, folks.  Oh, hello, Jeff. Yes, it was wonderful. Has anybody seen Mr. Lawrence, or the Duchess? We haven't seen Lawrence, no. The Duchess is over there writing a letter. Oh, well, I hope you'll all drop around in about an hour.  Is there anything you don't do, Jeff? No, very little. But none of them too during good, either. Sure, we'll be here. Won't we, Rembrandt? Well, yes, I go with three diamonds and a joke card.  The air felt good. I went over to my cabin and picked up some cigarettes and started back. But as I came close to the cabin opposite mine, it was the Duchess. I recognize those tones and groans anywhere. Duchess? Yes. This is Candy Metz. Are you all right? Yes, I'm all right. Duchess indigestion, I should imagine. Is there anything I can do? Can I get you something?  No, I'll be all right. I have these attacks all the time.  Jeff is going to sing.  But you're sure you'll be okay? Yes, yes, dear. We'll go along. Oh, here. Now, let me put a blanket over you.  You'll be ever so much more comfortable. You're so sweet. So pretty. You remind me of myself when I was young. Thank you. Thank you so much. I took the old girl in and left her to dream of the past and went back to the ranch house.  Well, you'll have to understand, folks. I'm not a singer. I don't pretend to be. I just wobble along the way I feel. Is there any particular kind of cowboy tune you'd like to hear? No, Jeff. I don't just sing a favorite of yours. Good idea. Just do what comes naturally. Okay, you asked for it. Let's sing. Here's one I think you might like. Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free in a narrow grave just six by three. But bury me. Oh, hiya, bar. Oh, I'm sorry, Jeff. Go right on with what you were doing. No, Mr. Lawrence. You arrived just in time. The entertainment's over. What? What are you talking about, Miss Matthew? I said the show's over. Is the sheriff around? Yeah, it's seen as men are outside. They're just leaving for the night. You better call him back right now. The Duchess is dead in her cabin. What? Poisoned. Wait a minute. Sheriff, Sheriff Hop. Yes, you learned. That's right. Can you and your men come back for a spell? Seems we have more trouble. Okay, we'll be over as soon as we tie up the horse. Now, David, what's this all about? Well, I could tell you learned, but I think it'd be more proper coming from the star himself. Don't you think so, Jeff? Looks like this is it, doesn't it? You're smart, Miss Mattson. Like they say in that ad, you never underestimate the power of a woman. That's right. That letter the Duchess wrote proves your point. What? How'd you get hold of that letter? I thought I... She wrote a duplicate, is that it? Like you say, never underestimate the power of a woman. Wait a moment. I don't understand what's going on here. Go ahead, Miss Mattson, you tell me. Looks like I'm not the star any longer. Well, Lawrence, up to about two weeks ago, you had as nice and gentle a cow folk working for you as there ever was. When the Duchess arrived, she wasn't kidding when she claimed to have mingled with nobility, important people. The matter of fact, she had an inside tip about your ranch and the one next door, Ferguson's place, Glen Valley. Didn't you receive a fantastic offer for your property from a big wine company just recently, Lawrence? Why, yes, I did. So did Ferguson. They were going to merge the two places and make it one of the world's largest vineyards. I didn't know about that part of it. That's what Duchess did. She wanted in on the ground floor. That's why she came out here. She tried to talk business with Ferguson, but he'd have none of it. So in one of her boozy moments, she hit upon the idea of doing away with Ferguson. But she didn't have the nerve to go through with it. That's when she approached Jeff here and cut him in on the deal. Jeff was tired of the poor but honest cowboy routine, saw a chance to make some heavy sugar and went along with the gag. Right, Jeff? She got it straight so far, boss. Jeff, I can't believe my ears. Nothing. Just wait a while. Jeff and the Duchess were out riding one afternoon when, by chance, Ferguson rode up, too, just where the boundaries of the two ranches meet. While the Duchess talked to Ferguson, Jeff sneaked around in back and bashed in his head. They hauled him up to that bra where you bumped into us this afternoon. I know now why you ordered us out of there. On the other side of that snarl of brush in Manzanita, there's a quicksand pit. That is now Ferguson's permanent residence. This is terrible, terrible. In a hurry to dispose of your late neighbor, they left shoe prints along the bank of the creek. And they also overlooked Ferguson's hat with his initials on it. I'm mighty glad you came by when you did lie. After I had noticed the boot prints, I think Jeff was going to dump me into the quicksand, too. You're right again. After the boss sent us back in, I sort of figured it'd get to you tonight instead. And then, Lawrence, you were going to be next. Because in your will, you would name Jeff as your sole heir, is that right? That, that's right. I love him like a son. Then the Duchess and Jeff could have swung a hard bargain with that wine outfit. All very smooth except for one thing. One thing? I'm kind of curious about that one thing, Miss Manzanita. Alcohol, Jeff. It's not only lifting to begin with, but also acts as a depressing agent. The Duchess had been inviting all day, and after dinner, she arrived at that point of depression, realized what a horrible thing she had done, and she wrote the full story about the wine company and Jeff's duplicity, and made a copy. You were afraid of that yourself, Jeff. That's when you went out and slipped the old girl a lethal Mickey. I heard her groaning and went in to investigate. She said it was indigestion, but I knew differently. Her breath. And I knew, too, that she'd be dead within five minutes. Then I saw her shoes. Cuban heels with mud caked on the inner side of the arch. That's when I had to hunch the letter she was writing had a definite meaning. You overlooked it, Jeff. I found it. Where only a woman would think of looking. Tucked inside her bosom. I'm sorry, Lauren. I had you figure wrong from the start. I was the one who was wrong. You weren't hard at all.  Well, Jeff? Here comes the sheriff. Yeah, so I see. Well, I'm ready for him. He can't beat a royal flush with a pair of deuces. How should I say? Dunce it. I'll go. There won't be any fun. And all of a sudden, it dawns on me. People should accept their loss. You're born to be a cowboy. Just stay a cowboy. And if you're born a millionaire, don't fight that either. Well, goodbye, Miss Madsen. And I'm glad the boss happened along when he did. I don't think quick standard looked good on me. Like Jeff said, he went quiet. No trouble. Too bad he wasn't content to be just a ranch hand. Simple and unpoiled. Because as Rembrandt had noticed, he did have wonderful shoulders. He played the guitar, he sang, and he made final fashion. All in all, a very nice guy except for two vices, hitting from the behind and poisoning. The valley of moon? Oh, I'll go back. It's lovely. After all, one man with a snarl brain can't undo the work of the original master painter.

Alright, here everyone. So this video is going to be on ST, the simple terminal, or the suckless terminal, some people call it. So the reason I'm doing this is I've been using this terminal recently because My last video I did on URXVT, which I think I forget the title of it It was I think it was just something like URXVT is the best terminal Which rubbed some people the wrong way because a lot of people like you shouldn't be using at URXVT You should be using ST URXVT. URXVT is all bloat.  It's not minimalist enough So I've tried ST many times before but this is the first time I think I actually got a configuration that I really like or at least something that has all the features I well, I should I should give the preface, right? So ST is a suckless utility suckless is a sort of cabal of programmers who are interested in like I Guess efficiently written non bloated software That's actually worthy of a video on itself But needless to say ST for a lot of reasons is different from some of the programs That you might be familiar with on my pro my channel or whatever That's just because most you know if we're talking about Ranger or Bash or most other terminals or something like that They have independent config files that they read whenever you open them and they you can change those config files stuff like that But the idea behind a lot of suckless You know programs is ultimately that's an inefficient way of doing it What you really should be doing is patching the features or the traits that you want in a In a program actually into the source code and that's what ST and a lot of other programs do that might may sound a little difficult But it's it's actually not we'll talk about in this video So I'll go ahead and say this is well my terminal looks like I have a transparent right now There are a bunch of little features built in But it's still one of the most I mean it definitely is the most lightweight terminal in the world Or at least that I know of it's less than 5,000 lines of code It still does everything out of the box even without any configuration It does a lot of things better than you are XVT It handles Unicode really well it handles like you know Ranger previews or whatever These are a lot more robust on ST you are XVT sometimes we'll get like lines through them or something like that But ST does a whole lot of stuff a whole lot better for that reason Now anyway, let me go ahead and get into the configuration now I'll go although. I actually have downloaded here the default Build of ST if you just go on suckless and download it This is what you're gonna get and of course to install it.  So just type in make And then pseudo make install I'm gonna put in my password and By default ST is gonna come up. It's gonna look like this So it's gonna be just a black window again It already has the features of it can handle Unicode It can do all the stuff that you expect a terminal to do Well, actually there are some things it doesn't do by default chief among which is Let's say I have some program that outputs a whole lot of stuff like a whole bunch of Stuff on to the terminal if I want to scroll back ST doesn't actually have the ability to scroll back in its history by default. That's not actually built in You that's something you actually have to patch in now ST There are a lot of these features the idea behind the suckless programs is they're very Featureless by default and you just say okay, I want this I want this so in this and you can install patches for it So I actually have a build on get oh, yeah, shout out to this guy old Garo who did a little video just showcasing some stuff in ST That encouraged me to actually look into it So I actually have my build of ST with all the features that I I think are necessary or I think are worth having I actually forked it from this other guy who had added stuff will like scroll back You know, solarized colors most of these patches will be on the suckless website But getting them to work especially when you have multiple ones at the same time Sometimes it's a little wonky or something like that. So he had all these and I've added some other features Anyway, I'll just show you what my mind my new setup looks like. So let me go to my build Now I'll go ahead and just build this the same way So you can go to my github and like just download these files in a folder and do exactly what I'm gonna say now So you can make Just compile it and see to make install And by default it's gonna actually have let's go to another window So you're gonna have this so you can increase or decrease the size with alt shift page up page down Now you'll notice of course it does have Solarized colors. So let me open up a file. So here they are you can actually using my build You can invert the color not invert but like make them a light mode by holding down alt and pressing tab I think the original binding is like f6, but I feel that that conflicts with a lot of stuff. So I switched it to this So yeah alt tab to toggle that Also, if you have a whole bunch of output You can scroll back by holding down shift and page up and page down. I Of course page up and page down for me. That's far too away.  It's nice to move be able to move gradually And if you want to move faster than that but still want to be sort of on the home row You can hold down alt U and alt D sort of like in vim where you do control you control D So those are some other things So this is the default build and I also Because I like having transparency at least in what I have on this machine right now So I actually put in another patch Because they have they suck list has a transparency Diff by default that will patch in transparency But it doesn't work really well if you have the solarized stuff installed at the same time So I just made my own diff that you can use so if you download to and actually install that No, you're so if you actually want to go about installing that you just Well, first you got to make clean Make sure everything's nice. You just do patch And yeah patch and then patches Transparency is where my diff is just run that then you can make I should probably fix those errors, but they're not fatal Pseudo make install and there we go. So this is the terminal. I actually use Has transparency has the scroll back has everything that I need about it And again, it has a bunch of the stuff that you are XP T didn't have Like Unicode characters that can hand a ranger and image previews and stuff a little better Now there is one thing actually this is gonna be the next video because this is worth its own video There is one thing that you are XP T the configuration. I had Did better than ST and that is link selection. So like if I let's say I cat out some file with So where my website is yeah, let's say I cat out some file with some links You know how I can't actually click on any links here So if I click on one of these and the thing's gonna happen You are XP T has this very nice thing that you can put in where you can select links But ST doesn't have one by default. There's a patch, but it's not very good So in the next video, I'm gonna talk about how I get across that Long story short, it's using URL view, which is actually in a lot of ways better and more robust But anyway, so this is suckless terminal. I definitely recommend people looking into it I still like you are XP T but suckless has some advantages. I've sort of moved just to ST at this point though I don't think I have you are XP T installed So anyway, I hope you learned something and I'll see you guys next time. So have a good one


Welcome back to the Sports Mac zone today we continue to look at the Jamaica Thorbitt Horsemen's Foundation fundraising series of events from the 1st to the 5th of February. This initiative is supporting the needs of horsemen and backstretch workers at K-Manus Spartan. On Thursday we heard from the event special guest speaker, the jockey, Sean Bridgmahan. Today we welcome in studio three former champion jockeys who both decorated racing careers. George Hossang, Emilia Rodriguez and Charlie Hossein. Gentlemen, welcome to the Sports Mac zone. Great to have you all here. George was a champion jockey from in the 70s, Rodriguez a champion jockey from in the 80s. You had a couple of titles in the 70s, but you were a champion jockey as recent as 2001. It was 2005. 2005? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Oh, okay. But spanning out. It was 98. Yes. And then I know it was a little pure after that. I don't think it was closest to one. Yeah, we spoke to Sean Bridgmahan yesterday. Of course, Sean didn't ride in Jamaica. He migrated at the age of 13 and started his riding career overseas. Correct. But we spoke about the need to help some of the less fortunate people in the business. Charlie, you are the one that is still stationed here in Jamaica. So you're seeing firsthand the struggles of some of these riders. I go to the track every Thursday morning and sometimes on a race day. And I see a lot of old people in the business, grooms and so on, who remember putting Emilia up on a horse. And of course, both Emilia and George had Fitz Crawford as their apprentice masters. How difficult is it for you, Charlie, to see people struggling at the racetrack? Because these are passionate people. Racing is their life. Yes. Is their life. And they are struggling many of them. Yes, you're perfectly right. I've seen them in the Jockeys categories, in the grooms. And they're working many, many years and they don't have anything to fall back on due to probably not proper saving or education or to do other things while they're at the track. Yes. That is the key. In Jamaica, you have to have a supplement income. I think that's where we fall back in teaching and giving these people knowledge that you have to have a backup plan. Yeah. You know? I know that you had been based in Florida for some time as well, Charlie, in the 1980s, but George made his name as a champion rider at Woodbine twice. Twice. Emilia had spent a lot of time riding in the USA as well. George and Emilia, let me start with George. Is it the same globally? Is it the same in the USA where people on the back stretch and grooms and so on are really struggling and need help? No, not really. They have a social program that at the age of 65, a person who works for at least 10 years, they can get coverage, full coverage of health insurance. That is the law in the United States and a pension, social security pension, a check every month. And a lot of people who live on the low budget lifestyle, they can manage. And that is what, as Charlie was saying, we lack here. When these grooms, they get the voyage in their 80s. There are grooms there in their 80s. I know. They don't have that to fall back on and they can't afford their medication. And that's one of the reasons why we are here for the Horsemen Benevolent Foundation, for the needed horsemen, and the horses that are abandoned, the retired resources that are abandoned. Every owner can afford to take care of their horses, or their retired horses, or get them into the police force. Yes, after care program. After care program. So some of them, they really fall by the wayside. We seem them abused and abandoned on the roadside sometimes. That's where we are coming in now. Starving in a pin. I'm trying to see if we can save this program and do something towards the grooms, the old grooms, and even some of the trainers too. Unfortunately, the trainers, they spend their career, their old life, in the horse racing, looking after the horses. And unfortunately, they don't come out on top. It's not everybody going to come out on top of the game, like us. But if we can do something for them, then I know they will appreciate whatever gesture we are trying to do. The organizers have told me that ticket sales have been going reasonably well for Monday's fundraising dinner, and I think over 150 tickets have already been sold for the fundraising dinner on Monday night. And it's $15,000 Jamaican dollars. And for horse racing men with IDs, I think $10,000. And I believe that you gentlemen being a part of this program, Bridge Mahon riding at K-Mata Spark on Saturday for the first time, I'm sure you guys will be at racing as well on Saturday, it will trigger a lot more interest in Monday's fundraiser. And a lot of people know probably embracing the need to try to help some of the struggling people at K-Mata Spark, Emilio. Yes, we are trying to do a lot of media coverage and to see if we can involve other people, see what we are trying to do, and come out and try to help us. Support. That's our main objective. Just what I said to George, when he first brought the idea to me, I said, George, I'm in Winston, and we also have Winston. Between the four of us, we are well-known in the industry because of our dedication and years of riding, of paying attention to the horses. We can open some doors. I called George because I heard of it. I called George before. I said, George, what is this all about? We keep in touch with each other all through the years. I called George and asked him, what is this all about? George, sit down and explain to me and tell me what it is. I said, put me on board. George said, George, I'm going to call the racing commission and say if we can get the racing commission involved as well. So I did call the racing commission, Mr. Metcalf, Mr. Clovis Metcalf. He pointed me to Dr. Ramdan. That's the commission. From the Chileans? Yes, from the Soviet Ramla. So we are trying to get everybody involved in what we are doing. It's not like I'm walking around the back door of business. We are putting everything up front and make everybody know what we are doing. Actually we had a meeting this morning with the racing commission and it was very fruitful. I can't have you three here without getting our viewers to understand a little about what you are doing at the moment. So we have already established the fundraiser on Monday and we hope it goes well and makes a lot of money. George and Emile, let me start with you two who are based overseas. How have you been enjoying retirement? You both had decorated riding careers and you are not in racing anymore as far as I know. How are things with life? After retirement, I have three grandchildren that I have hands on helping my daughter with. They are like eight months, two years and seven years and they are more than a handful. My little siesta that I used to take, that's not done anymore. The little ones are on top of me and you know, I love them so much that when they are misbehaving I spoil them anyway. Grandparents are known to do that. The more I spoil them the more headache they give me. That's my life right now. For our viewers, George was the forerunner for the Woodbine success that Caribbean riders are having at the moment. After George was championed twice at Woodbine in Canada, we saw Emile Ramsamy come up in the 1990s from TNT, a championed jockey there as well. And then Patrick Husbands from Barbados, eight jockeys titles at Woodbine as well. So this man, George Osang was... And Janet Jones as well. And you have a story about Janet Jones because you were based at Woodbine some years ago on the Queen's Plate with not Bourbon. You strategized his race tactics, didn't you? Yes, I did. Talk to us about it. Janet Jones was a fine rider. He got heavy and left the saddle, but... Yeah, Janet Jones came to me because we were living in one apartment building. And Janet Jones came to me and asked me, Bimbo, bring this race from and tell me how to ride this horse here. So I took the race from him and I read it and I said, General, it's one horse you have to beat. It's a three-year-old called Ginger Brew that is a Stranocos horse training by... I don't remember the trainer name. But I said, this is the only horse. Don't think about no other horse. This horse can lead, but don't lead with this horse. Sit about fourth, fifth, and save your horse until you come in this, leaving the two and a half and you slingshot this horse here. Give him two, three-legged, change the whip and wait until Ginger Brew comes because she's coming. Yeah. And he rode the horse exactly what I told him. Yeah. And he won. By a shorter... George wants to say something. I'm just saying he instructed that rider like he already seen the replay. Well, I actually spoke to Janet Jones after he won that race. And he was the one that told me that you had given him tactics as to how to ride the horse. No, Charlie, you rode the 1985 Kentucky Derby winner Spender Buck as a two-year-old. 1984 Kentucky Derby winner. Yeah, Spender Buck, 1984. Yeah, okay. And you rode that horse as a two-year-old. Talk to us about your career in Florida because you had a lot of successes that came out of spark, but you had some good times in Florida as well, didn't you? Yes, yes. I was always in the top 10, you know? And my biggest success was Spender Buck. Obviously, he went on to win the Kentucky Derby. Yeah. But I started... I broke his maiden. I was partnering with him from... He came to the track as a two-year-old because the train at the time, the time government, he didn't know anything about training. This is the first horse I was riding for his friend, Eddie Pleaser, Sr. And Eddie came to me and said, hey, Charlie, help up my Pazano. He don't know nothing. Yeah. It's the first horse. I said, don't worry, I'll take care. Yeah. And as the story went, the first race we ran, he won. And then he ran one another race at Colorado and the trainer, because he didn't have the experience, he put him in a steak race after he broke his maiden and he came up against a champion, a two-year-old at a time named Smile, which had already won a couple steak races, like three steak races, which way out of this league, you know? Ran second, trainer decided, whoa, we're going to go to Ohio in 100,000, 130,000 Ohio's Cradle States. Yes. Way out of this league again. That is where we realized this is a big horse. He won that race by 18 lengths. Wow. On the beat. And I told the trainer and the owner, this is a Kentucky derby horse. This horse, first time around two turns, never even worked six for one. Yeah. And ran like that. Yeah. I said this is a champion horse. George, when we had the triple champions function some years ago, honoring you and Emilio and Winston, Sandy Hawley, the most celebrated jockey in the history of Canadian racing, spoke glowingly about you and suggested that of all the riders that he faced in his entire career, this George Hossang was the most problematic. Yes. We did some battles back there at Woodbine. And, you know, I won, as I can remember, the ones that we did wind up battling down the street, I won more times than he did. He did. Yes. I got his attention there. But he had the home ground on me. Yes, I know. Yeah. When I went to Woodbine the first year, they used to have entries and every horse that is entered says no boy riding the horse. No boy meaning no rider. And then Sandy Hawley and his agent would sit and get the race form and pick the best rides. And then everybody else... Strangler for the race. So he was like, you know, he owned the back straight. So the fact that you could become champion jockey at Woodbine within two or three years of arriving there was a tremendous story. Jordan Assange, you will always be celebrated as a tremendous riding talent out of the Caribbean. Charlie Hossier and Emilia Rodriguez, great to have you on as well. All iconic jockeys coming out of Jamaica. We thank you for your careers because I can tell you, as a youngster growing up, all three of you were riders that impressed me and made me fall in love with horse racing, especially that one there. Emilia Rodriguez. Do you know that, Bimbo? I know that. Okay, gentlemen, thank you very much. And I'll see you on Monday night because we expect that this will be a fundraiser that will gather a lot of funds and money to help some of the needed people involved in horse racing at K-Manus Park in Jamaica. Back with more on the Sports Back Zone after this.
