Nice older couple anchored next to us, gave us a map of the forest that they've explored, normal couple.. their wifi networks aboard is "lolicongag", I'm trying to convince myself that this is some sort of acronym for something.

@neauoire I would say something to them in case one member of their family (maybe not even a member of the couple) decided on that. The odds of an older couple jointly deciding they're into that and should advertise it are slim.  "And you do Addition?" the White Queen asked. "What's one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one and one?" "I don't know," said Alice. "I lost count." "She can't do Addition," the Red Queen interrupted.   Slugs came to check out the leeks yesterday, had a nibble, weren't impressed and left them alone.  @neauoire Oh this is news I can use. I’ll need to prep for the annual snail invasion that happens during rainy season here. It’s wild, when they peak I can’t walk across my backyard without crunching dozens of shells (I felt so guilty but I guess I’m numb to it now). Anyway... I could get down with Alliums (allia?)! Inspired from David Madore's notes on multi-quines, I wrote a program that replicates itself, but every second time, the generated program will print either ying, or yang, and vice versa. For the Handmade talk, I'm trying to compile a list of programming languages(or, just general creative computation explorations) that use conworld, conlang or various other narrative tools like music and pictures, to build a kind of universe around itself, similar to Pinnochioverse, Land Of Lisp, the Fortran Coloring book, etc.. If you know of project like this, please send it over!

I love weird tech like uxn and stuff that's unapologetically about the love of computers. I think part of why I was not into computer touching for a while is the way business-major-flavored tech bros ruined it for me. Hacking is supposed to be weird and fun  Hey @neauoire only took us 20 months but @raphael, @nclm and myself finally launched https://symbol.fediverse.info and set up the @FediverseSymbol account for it. Would love it if you were still interested in being involved or even just using it! We caught up with friends yesterday and they had been contacting BC Parks, asking about why some of the park toilets up north were systematically being removed or boarded up, the answer they got was some bogus excuses, like a tree was close to falling on it(there is no such tree). After some back and forth they were told that the new people in charge were philosophically opposed to having anyone explore the parks altogether and that they ought to stay home in the cities where they belong. I fear a lot of people think that as the climate gets worse and more scorching where the heat domes occur, that they can escape the desertification down south by heading north, but what's going to happen is that the north will have long been clear cut down to nothing and so they'll find nothing but a worse desert than the one they're trying to escape from.  In Pinker's The Language Instinct, it talks about the made-up story of the word "Pumpernickel", which is NOT the true ethomology of the word but what some people made up while at a pub, and later published as fact. Napoleon at an inn, expecting French bread but being served hard dark bread, spat onto the ground, and said, “Bah! C'est pain pour Nicole!", which is the name of his horse. Now that's a canon expression aboard Pino, that whenever we eat dry bread, PAIN POUR NICOLE!!  @neauoire Delicious! This rung a bell with me, and I realise I only recently listened to the Something Rhymes with Purple episode about food, that they titled "Pumpernickel"! https://pdst.fm/e/chtbl.com/track/43774/mgln.ai/e/143/traffic.megaphone.fm/SONY9919089140.mp3 Here's the whole podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/9X-YgzeG @neauoire There are some wonderful homophonic translations. The Humpty Dumpty one is a classic: The Oulipo also published some. I think I have somewhere (though can’t find it at the moment) a short booklet of homophonic translations by Luc Etienne (though I may be confused with Perec). I need to find it!  Been working on what I’m calling “the stupidest point and shoot”. It’s a hacked up original Mamiya Press body, with the 50mm/6.3 lens, and 6x9 type 3 back. Zone focus, and sports finder for framing. Still needs leatherette and a top cap but it’s getting close!  Made a little top for it out of some scrap oak. I’ll install a couple accessory shoes and then ebonize it. We just finished reading In Cold Blood last night, it's going to take a minute to digest and recover from it, what do you even read to follow up after something like that anyways.

@neauoire yet we are often outside that world. "[...] They couldn’t see anything that was even partly inside the world [...]" "[...] down among the walls and roofs, the roads and houses, walking on, walking on [...] never came to the end of them. That moment when your speaker's notes are all put down and you can finally get on with the fun bit: MAKING SOME SLIDES!!

I think I'll aim to have most of the slides made in this kind of 1-bit architecture style, my only fear is that the thin hairline might be hard to read on the projection :maru: Started working on some slides for a talk, I decided to lean way deep into the conlang thing. I think I can make this all interesting. The tak() function written in the uxntal alphabet. @tak ( z y x -- res ) Landed gabber/hardtech gig in Montreal this winter with some old friends. It'll be nice to play all these new tracks I've been sitting on.
