A couple of folks on the instance(and friends) got together and made a Diablo Tribute tape, there will be actual red cassettes available of it in a bit, but in the meantime, here's a rip of the audio!

   In this strange computer, rules can be sometimes applied backward, pressing the arrow button will unapply a rule and might help you recover and earlier state. For a brief and fleeting moment, before that website's CSS kicked in, I glimpsed at a perfectly readable website. Completed a zine that teaches the basics of multiset rewriting programming with examples and also includes the source for a tiny Fractran interpreter. Thanks for everyone who sent feedback, I've included the suggestions. I'll have a bunch of those at Handmade Seattle next month, if you'd like one, just come and see me and I'll give you a copy :catclock:  @neauoire I paid my old host for 5 years to mothball my old blog, but it became an "unnecessary" expense I could no longer afford. I've been relying on the #IA to keep it alive. So, naturally, two months after I stop paying a private host to keep my site alive, The IA goes down. 🤦♂️ In Canada, today is Orange Shirt Day, it's a day of awareness to recognize the atrocities perpetrated by the country's boarding schools on the children of indigenous communities.  using FileIO orangify(x) = (x == RGB(1,1,1) ? RGB(1,0.5,0) : x) orange = map(orangify, load("teapot-bw.jpg")) For 3 years now, we've had a monthly hand-drawn calendar in the galley that we cover with doodles, at the end of the year, @rek binds the 12 pages together, and it makes it easy to look back at where we were, what we were doing at a previous time. Everyday has some kind of highlight or other- It's one of our favourite habits.  Autumn is just around the corner, and when the leaves begin to fall, it will have been four years since the early sketches of a personal computing system which became #Uxn. I thought it would be interesting to look back and see what has happened since. when you eat animal products, you are directly consuming high blood pressure, stress, & adrenaline. you are eating fear, grief, & rage. you are eating suffering, horror, & murder. you are eating cruelty. This fall, it will have been 4 since I began using #uxn, I feel like writing a kind of review, or some kind of summary of lessons learned during this 4 years adventure into personal computing, interesting events, answering some critiques, talking about some dead-ends and so on.  @neauoire You've built something really amazing in my opinion, Devine. uxn is such a powerful piece of technology because its values allow for the creation of different futures than most mainstream tech. 💙 New blog post! This time I'm taking a look at fonts. I ran into a floppy disk containing a pair of extremely cute dingbat fonts - a tokusatsu helmet alphabet, and a set of decorative lucha mask characters. They're well-designed and very detailed. Thinking about Japan and this little video of our friends playing a fantastic cover of Kirenai on the hukulele.  @neauoire breaking out the hawaiian spelling I see (in reference to: https://www.reddit.com/r/linguisticshumor/comments/1f3dkxn/okina/) I wasn't happy with using the Cyrillic glyphs I found online, so I've traced new ones that better fit with Chicago.  |
