Gregory's ServerIt's funny how I can go from being utterly terrified at the onset of a project such as the total rewiring of Pino, to looking back thinking that it wasn't at all as hard as you expected, and having that familiar realization that that twinge of fear is more often about starting than it is about doing the task itself.

After a short fling with parallel computing, I realized that it was more trouble than it was worth for the scale of projects that interested me. I've added lambdas to Uxntal, which was certainly the single greatest UX improvement to the language since its creation. This crazy and wonder-full year aboard ended with the publication of Rek's latest novel Wiktopher, and as the year and projects come to an end, we are now turning our gaze back to the horizon for the next year, and our next projects. For the year of 2023, Maurice Renard's Le Peril Bleu, was my favourite book. Coline Serreau's La Belle Verte was my favourite movie. Cimerion's Contresort was my favourite album. @mrwalter their first album is also excellent!  @tinspin I didn't, but I basically implemented a little parallel system for uxn which I ended up not using, and played a bunch with parlog and fleng, but it didn't really stick, so I went back to sequential uxn, which does what I need and enjoy making.  @neauoire I feel this so hard. Inertia is strong, comfort or the illusion of it are pacifiers. Both in projects and in major life changes (going independent, big geographical moves, other plunges) I find just making that start or decision feels like 90% of the work.  |
Rek and I were invited to do a residency at LEÑA, and we sailed to our dream destination, the breath-taking Princess Louisa Inlet. I had, once again, the opportunity of crossing the US by train, eastward this time, with a bunch of amazing people heading to the last of the Strange Loop conferences. I got a tattoo of my favourite demon, Stolas, by my friend and favourite tattoo artist Lizbeth.
