As someone with stage 4 rectal cancer I can tell you that pooping in a bag or getting a colonoscopy is far less intense than going through chemotherapy for months at a time.

"Colorectal cancer is rising among Gen X, Y & Z. Here are 5 ways to protect yourself"

remember kids: don't get cancer. It makes folks you care about have to have difficult conversations about what happens when you can't support them anymore.

The Ballad of John Mastodon

John Mastodon
Born outside of Yukon
Knew what was going on

Built his first PC when he was three
Carved it straight from a tree
John Mastodon. Blessed be.

Saw social media made him sad
Knew that good comes from bad
Made him a network from tin cans he had

John Mastodon
Born outside of Yukon
Knew what was going on

John Mastodon
Made a network to go on

Siting in the chemo chair relaxing away with a laptop on my lap coffee at the ready, and juice in my veins. As one does.

@victorhck Indeed. But it should be pretty straightforward to install once you install that package.

@victorhck Under Ubuntu it's under texlive-xetex, so you might want to check for the texlive packages to see if it's hiding under there.

@victorhck No worries. :)

@victorhck Ther's a SVG file in there that has the text. The Krita file is the drawing itself.

@victorhck The repo is here: https://framagit.org/themediocreprogrammer/coverart :) I'd need to wrestle Inkscape to do my bidding, but if you'd like to take a crack at it you have my blessing. :)

@victorhck No worries. I appreciate that you didn't wait on me. I've been having all I can do to get the things that I need to get done over here. At least this is out so folks can enjoy it without waiting on me to get around to it. (A Round Tuit. ;) ). Thanks again!

@victorhck Thank you so much for posting this. I've added the link to the main site. At some point in my copious time I'm planning on having this translation get the full ebook / PDF treatment.

Thanks again!
