Not having a refrigerator, we've ran out of fresh vegetables many weeks ago, but we've managed to eat well by sprouting fresh microgreens and eating through the pickled vegetables we made over the winter. We have a month or two worth of pickled cauliflower, and a year's worth of legumes to sprout. By the fall, I should be able to gather soy, lentils, fenugreek seeds and mung beans from the various gardens we planted. @neauoire this is the kind of thing i love to read about and to know it can be done, but it also terrifies me and stops me from doing what you’re doing (that and also living with a 6 year old cat who would hate living on a boat). do you have a schedule on how often you have fresh food stops on land or do you go by the flow of your cravings? or something else? @neauoire as far as sprouting goes, what plants would create the most seed to re-sprout. When I grew tobacco each plant made thousands of seed, now if they were edible that would be quite a nice producer of seed. But a lot of seed I use to sprout wouldn't create a lot of seeds back, like legumes for instance... After a week of work, lots of head scratching, I've managed to draw all these different-looking menus, with a single #uxn file that is shared by these different projects. The menu drawing code has no actual drawing code, but instead uses each app's own string drawing routines. https://git.sr.ht/~rabbits/noodle/tree/main/item/src/manifest.tal I may not be able to have two tabs open at once on this fucking computer, but I can have ad infinitum of uxn instances! What was it like playing Angry Birds on an iPhone 3G? We do not know; Apple is no longer distributing signed receipts for that binary. To future historians—not just of computing, but of humanity—the current period will be a dark age.

 @neauoire this article is kinda alarmist trash though. Link rot exists with or without drm. Link rot is a huge problem in our generation. I backup websites I would rather have access to with `wget -mk`, so does archive.org. Re: rest — historians don't know *a lot* of things as it stands about other eras, the climate collapse era will be well-studied, there's plenty of data getting preserved. Adding the edit option to drag the glyph's sprite data inside the canvas. It's kind of neat how this is done, I load the rows as bytes, roll them left or right, and save them back, easy-peasy. I only have Left left to add a menu for, but it's seriously daunting so imma just gonna procrastinate over here. Found cedar tannin tainted rocks on the shore, followed it into the forest and found a large flat area, stepped on it, it was almost 2 meters in diameter, I kicked off the moss a bit, it looked like a large disc of brown marble. I realized later that I was standing on a tree trunk that must have been 500-600 years old. There was no damage around it, I think this giant must have been fell more than a hundred years ago, the forest regrew around it.  @neauoire @ritualdust Does the Kisok have a feed list or do you just read it directly? It's kindda fun that the font editor's menu is drawn using the same routines as the editor. Changing the font, modifies the editor. :ouroboros:

 It has been months since we last encountered a grocery store proper, we spend our days lamenting the things we've ran out weeks ago, "Oh, I'd kill for a banana", "I wish we had capers". Personally, right now, if I could have anything, I'd have brussel sprouts, I'd roast them in a pan with balsamic vinegar. @neauoire have you ever seen Cowboy Bebop? Your description reminds me of the lack of food they have on their (space)ship. Never considered the similarities of sailboat life to sci-fi space travel, but now I am and … woah. I've improved the #uxn docs with some feedback from @manifoldslug and @euhmeuh "Right-wing extremists primarily use the personal radio services band, while the left use Facebook and Instagram." brutal. Planning to Flee from Schooling @neauoire this seems to be written by someone who has thought a lot about how much they hated going to school but not so much about the alternate approaches to education that already exist? I went and read the linked previously-on but I'm still confused. John Holt and Daniel Greenberg both are in line with Ivan Illich, with the difference being that Ivan Illich's work on education is riddled with weird self-contradiction in the rare moments he offers any constructive suggestions.  @neauoire you know what I finally went through everything they did... Incredible... And it aligns with what I have in mind as well Last night we read a story by Ray Bradbury that is basically a love letter to Deanna Durbin singing "The Lovely Isle of Innisfree". First thing I did after waking was trying to track it down, but Second day of downpour. This year is so different than last year when everything was on fire and we couldn't breath outside. |
@neauoire Thanks, I’ve been trying to be more active and work on stuff again. 2019/20 threw me out of the groove in a big way, moving house twice in the middle of a pandemic when you are a creature of habit messes with balance in a way I was not expecting and I’ve found it hard to pick up where I left off.
Feels like the journaling out in public will help me get back some of what I was.
