Back aboard Pino after living on land for a week. It's now time to finish up Oquonie and prepare the boat for sailing again.

Someone shouting from behind the PA mixing table on the stage: "So, you type xrandr" "What?!" "Ex Ar An huh.. randurer LIKE It's spelled XRANDRER " "EXRANDERUR?!" "No! XANDRERER Fuck it, I'll come and type it"  @neauoire A quick check of the manpage and TIL it's supposed to be pronounced "X R and R"!  "Show tonight, doors open a t 7pm I should probably update distro"- YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING @neauoire highly recommend using a filesystem you can cheaply snapshot, like zfs or btrfs, or having extra space left over in an LVM2 so you can make a filesystem-independent snapshot so a rollback isn't as painful as it could be ... I've had a bit of time to kill between events and shows and things this week, and each time I had a few minutes to myself, I'd pour over the CADR lisp machine papers(528, 628, etc..) It seems clear now that implementing lisps in Rust and C doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever. Build-Your-Own-Lisp type books should really be focusing on teaching people to write for LISP machine architectures instead of software implementation.

@neauoire IMHO the same goes for implementing your own Forth in a high level language. The beauty of Forth is in the bootstrapping: you can make one from nothing, and use it as the basis for making the rest of your stack. @neauoire that took a little thinking to work through, but I agree. I take it to mean focus on eg a stack machine, instead of creating C spaghetti for CONS cells etc After the event last night, someone came over to chat, and they said to us: "It's fun to meet sailors who have interests outside of sailing." Can't stop thinking about this    Rekka and I are giving a talk tonight on the intersection of Biodiversity, Art and Computer Architectures.

During rehearsal yesterday I found a very annoying midi bug in Orca so that it didn't release notes in the order they were supposed to be released. Nothing quite like finding this sort of crucial issues right before a show.

  @neauoire looks like I encountered this thing, but I thought I'm wrong. Good luck with your gig  @neauoire True fact there's actually no defined order for Note Off if multiple voices exist on the same note number. A couple of years ago, I remixed the Proteus game with new graphics and sounds. Since Venus Patrol doesn't seem to be sending emails anymore, I've added the instructions on how to mod Proteus on the wiki.

 I've been spending my days writing music in here, it had been a while since I've made time to actually focus on music.

It's really scary what's happening in the US in regards to trans rights.

Noodling with parallelism in uxn, I expected it to be a pain, but I suppose that stack machines are inherently well adapted to doing this sort of things.   Updated the Adelie slideshow program to support `GOTO auto` to draw images at the center of the screen. Someone is lending me a barn in the woods to play as loud as I can in, and big stage speakers, like "have fun!" .. Oh, I will.  @neauoire  Working on the slides for our talk on saturday at Biosonic 2023. "Fermentation is diplomacy, canning is a massacre", Aaron Vansintjan(or possibly Alex Lewin?)

Because of Occam's comments style, I keep accidentally attempting to write bits of my code in Lua.. |
