### What have we been up to Linux related this Week? ###

Tyler - I have updated my dotfiles, made dwm look sexy, and have been messing with my computer.

Matt – I learned a lot about polybar, padding and also cleaned up my i3 config. It is now less than 15 lines long. I've also been messing around with taskwarrior.
