So you bought monocrystaline flex solar panels thinking they're going to last, but they started to delaminate almost instantly and you're like WAT EVEN THE F It looks like silicone holds the layers together. I'll let you know in two weeks if they're still glues to each other. If not, I'm going to jbweld them together. Got our copy of Fantomes zine II, it's absolutely gorgeous. Amazing work from everyone who sent stories and drawings 👻 The number-drawing turned out so good! we just came back from the pub jamming on ideas for other games we could make for the next volume.  @neauoire just to clarify: is each window here running in its own uxn instance? From time to time, people ask me "why use an assembled language, wouldn't just rebuilding an SDL application be faster?" Oquonie builds in 32 milliseconds on a relatively slow computer, it allows me to do live refresh of the application, whereas building even a simple SDL2 application in C takes nearly a full two seconds. The same question goes for interpreted languages. I think it could be one of the reasons why people would use them, so iterating is fast.

@neauoire somewhat related story, today I started toying around with a game engine idea, after hours of tutorials and videos I remembered your wiki page about ASI C. It’s by far the most simple and to the point information on how to start with C and SDL2 so thanks for that!  Me: "Oquonie is PERFECT SHIPIT!1" I love finding split cutting boards in the trash, a bit of sanding, a drop of jbweld in the seam, and it's as good as new. Cutting boards are usually hardwoods or bamboo, perfect for building stuff aboard. We'll use this one to make a second shelf in the cabinet. I often go back to this amazing travel log in Greenland, from Journal of Lost Time. Lisp Machine System 100.0, via usim! The new release works amazingly well. download: https://tumbleweed.nu/r/bug-lispm/forumpost/7475d8a3db boot with: cd usim; make; cd - Refreshing the wood of the old bathroom cabinet that had gotten moldy.

Before/after, we insulated the back wall of the bathroom and painted it. It's going to be so much nicer next winter. *updates Arch* /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lporttime: No such file or directory WHYYYYYyy

 @neauoire Porttime does things that are taken care of by more modern versions of the standard library. Portmidi has been without a maintainer for a long time and has some latency issues on windows. Contrast these with portaudio which is a bit old-fashioned but still actively maintained.  @neauoire If you still have that WiFi password and have some time to kill in the name of reliability, now might be a good time to set up full system snapshots and atomic upgrades. Failed Arch upgrades are an absolute nightmare to roll back from in my experience. Someone implemented the Tetris theme in #Orca, and made it draw little tetris blocks that fall down around the sides. 🤩  Rewrote the controller code for Oquonie so it can be played with a mouse, touchpad, or gamepad -- and all input methods reuse the same controller code.

@neauoire one of his song from Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia came up on my random music selection just a few days ago, and brought back a lot of nice memories. |
@neauoire I can’t read this on my phone without panning back and forth for each line. Reader mode isn’t available, and the font doesn’t scale down.
