We're pinned in Ketchikan, strong winds and heavy rain everyday, we can really soak-in the meaning of "4 meters of rain a year"

edit: That's 12 feets

The Unsettling of America may be the most important book I ever read.

@winduptoy such a good one : ) I love it when Wendell is pissed off.

I got wondering how much work it would be to compile s-expressions to #uxn, it turns out, not a lot.

As a test, I've only implemented `let`, but it's shockingly easy to map lisp-like syntax to the uxn assembly, I might push this further still.

@neauoire That is essentially what Funktal does, except that I didn't implement the let-syntax yet, because it's only syntactic sugar for lambdas. I'll do it eventually as it is very convenient.

@rek Also, more importantly, you've given the world a bird drawing.

More Truchet tiles, this time on a grid. These are so endlessly fun to iterate with.

A pen plot of concentric overlapping connected arcs and circles of many different colors.  There’s groups of arcs in a 2x3 grid with strokes flowing from one group to another, almost like tassels on fabric.

This detail focuses on one group of arcs where you can see the strokes are CMYK inks.

the number of times i have looked out onto the ocean and thought “this looks 3d generated” is probably concerning

@lake All fine until you spot texture mapping errors.

@lake me looking out the window of a train: "is that parallax scrolling"

The architecture in Ketchikan is terrific, it's all these extra long wooden stairways creeping up the mountainside to where the houses are built, the wooden bridges connected by these stairways even have streetnames.

I'll go take some pictures once the rain stops, lemme check the forecast to see when the rain will stops:

August

clarity flowers

@neauoire lmao welcome to southeast AK, where if it’s not raining, its snowing

Devine Lu Linvega

I love how lush this place is and how everything is connected by these wooden walkways, it reminds me of Japan.

Wood stairs leading to the various terraces of the city.

As we head further toward the glaciers, friends of ours have begun their way back down. We'll be seeing them again on the way south when fall comes.

I don't expect we'll be seeing a lot of sailing vessels up here.

Good bye SV Moonshine.

Pino casting off from Prince Rupert, Moonshine is at the dock.
Mike J👹🐀 🤘🏻

@neauoire R2AK starts next week. If you hang around Ketchikan you'll be seeing sailboats, but I imagine you'll probably be moving further on before they get there.

looking to pick back up on #fennel development once the jam is over and I get a chance to polish off a few things in Tower Institute of Linguistics

just a few little things left on the list for the upcoming 1.5.0 release: https://todo.sr.ht/~technomancy/fennel?search=label%3A%22next-release%22

the theme for this release will be making the compilation output more efficient and better-looking

here's what we've got so far: https://git.sr.ht/~technomancy/fennel/tree/main/item/changelog.md#150--

"Please insert Disk 2 to continue your game:"

A C-MAP card with the chart datum for Alaskan waters.
agenbite of inwit

@neauoire what storage format even is the c-card? Is it like a ruggedized microSD or something?

cancel

@neauoire they should have procedurally generated the world to make it fit on 1 disk

nea

@neauoire god i love that. cassette tapes, gameboy games, labelmaker cartridge...love a cartridge. something about them is so appealing

"Welcome to the US, now if you could download the ROAM application on your phone to complete your arrival check-in-"

uh oh

Devine Lu Linvega

The immigration agent, after we showed up in person, when we told them that we didn't have a smartphone and couldn't run the check-in app: "Good for you. That's awesome."

Even in remote places can we encounter the wild thickly accented Quebecois folk.

We're filling up the water tanks when suddenly "Ayoy sibolak j'ma sui foullez a ch'ville en deboulant t'aleur-"

Maybe(oz)

@neauoire this accent is very hard to understand for foreigners, French included. I'd love to hear more of it live.

Maybe next time I'm in Quebec. 🤞

@neauoire Mets-en, ciboire!

Ages ago, we ended up in Lund, at the end of the 101 Hwy (I saw on @rek's map that you sailed pretty closed recently!). There, a fisherman originally from Québec called Jacques invited us to stay at his place, & was very happy to host a gang of french speaking travellers to talk about camembert and stuff. He had spent his life here and had this kind of unique accent and vocabulary you can hear in Canada out of Québec.
