+## Wikipedia sponsorship
+
+Now I am working again I've started contributing financially to the Wikipedia project.  Previously I have donated one-off payments, although this time its a monthly donation.
+
+I use Wikipedia extensively for work so its only right that I give some financial support when I am able.

+## Neovim
+
+Creating scripts for two Neovim videos

+- Install and basic use
+- Clojure development with Neovim and Conjure
+
+Switching to Neovide desktop UI for Neovim after testing out the project switching feature using Telescope. Using the project switching tool means I can launch Neovide from the operating system desktop launcher.
+
+Neovide was configured using a `neovide` shell alias to run with the AstroNvim configuration, in the same way as the `astro` alias does.
+
+`SPC f p` in Neovim lists all the projects Neovim is aware of (I assume that are previously opened).  Selecting a project prompts to choose a file via the telescope narrowing search dialog.
+
+The project root directory is correctly setup so that all tools work with respect to the current project.
+
+Using Neovide in this way makes Neovim feel more like the experience I am accustom to with Emacs (although runs fast and smooth all the time).
+
+!!! INFO "Neovide super smooth cursor movement"
+    I am so enamoured by the smoothness of the cursor movement in Neovide.  Its a simple thing, but as I am looking at the screen when touch typing I feel so connected to the editor. Its like my soul is pouring out onto the screen in front of me.
+
+    Neovim in the terminal is just as fast, but doent have the smooth glide of the cursor in exactly the same way that Neovide does.
+
+    Maybe this will be a short term crush, but its a simple thing that makes me very happy.
