"I think a Defense Of Design is a sign of good stewardship. It shows that they think the design problems through carefully and are able (and willing!) to explain their decisions. " Folks on the Uxn mailing list asked me to define a Uxntal "standard", a kind of specification of how long valid tokens are, what is the maximum length for a label, what are capitalized label names for, and so on. I'll be trying to draft this up this week. It was nice to sail through internet signal for a night so we could catch up with emails, issues, and waste a bit of time online. Heading north around noon toward Hole-In-The-Wall.   Updated the Varvara docs with little examples for each device, based on feedback from people implementing their own emulators, and added links to test files that might help validating the various implementations. Each time Tiny Dynamine starts, in my head, I hear Cain's voice like "Stay awhile, and listen" I rejoyced after reading about list of websites that “best embodies the idea of a small, playful and heartfelt web.” I thought, finally! Something I can enjoy! None of the entries work on my computer. This is so classic.

 @neauoire We had five and a half here in central NH yesterday! Sump pump couldn't keep up and we came within an inch or two of drowning the water heater pilot. It must have been some kind of record. Are you in a rain shadow area? I've been reading Orwell's Homage To Catalonia, it's excellent, I expected it to be awfully bleak in some parts, but I certainly didn't expect it to bring to me to tears laughing in others.

@neauoire Everything I've read by Orwell has been just wonderful. I've been working through his letters as collected by Peter Davison: A Life in Letters. That volume serves as Orwell's autobiography.  @neauoire super good read! i read it at first w/o somehow knowing it was george orwell who had written it X) I love these long summer days living in remote inlets where we can spend our time reading and cooking. I haven't been doing much else in the way of creative work other than completing the proof-reading of Rek's manuscript for Wiktopher, and doing research for the upcoming Strange Loop talk.  We tend to plan our night passages based on the phase of the moon, prefering full moon so we can see debris in the water. I found this little script to predict how much visibility we'll get, it has been pretty reliable so far, maybe someone else finds this useful: @neauoire smart idea to use the second largest lamp in the sky! in tidal prone areas would this also increase the vertical distance from ground-anchored debris? bc the moon's pulling all that water? haven't studied tides so much cause not as big of an issue around here ^^'  I don't have reliable connection to the internet at the moment and cannot handle instance onboarding, please get in touch with @somnius. Not a fan of people calling anything, other the primary source of income, a hobby.

Charles Ives: Insurance Agent. Not sure what your problem is TBH. Twice I got stung this week while walking in the woods, the first time by a common looking wasp that lives in holes in the ground, it hurt for about 4 days. Now two days ago, I got stung by a tiny black wasp without stripes, super painful, my ankle has doubled in size. If it had been in my neck, I'd be super dead. Not really lucky with our little strolls lately.

@avi I know, I know. This wasn't meant a joke at your expense, it just something that ran across my head when I read your message <3 I got Brutaldon stuck in a weird mode right now and can't directly reply to the thread for some reason. avi@cosocial.ca I know, I know.

"We're well past the time when using Photoshop as a verb has had any relevance, we ought to be saying I will gimp t-"NO! You will not end this sentence.

@neauoire time always makes things tricky
