Spending four days on a train from Seattle to Saint-Louis, will bring two paperbacks along for some late night reading as we zip across Nebraska.

@neauoire The Crying of Lot 49, that takes me back. I remember reading it, very long ago, but I have forgotten most of the plot.

@neauoire I hope you enjoy Lot 49, it’s the only Pynchon I’ve finished 😅

It saddens me that the Neon Kiosk has so little activity, come on, add your site, write something for the kiosk stand.

@neauoire sad, it was hella active not too long ago! I'll work on not being part of the problem by updating my kiosk blog 😁

@neauoire "needs to follow the HTML Journal format" - so existing blogs probably don't count 😢. Ironic that Smol.Pub (made by the same creator I believe?) doesn't count either...

First time connecting to the grid in a while, we're docked and have access to a fresh water tap, so we're giving Pino a deep clean. There's a thick layer of grime that accumulated over the deck from stepping on and off from the boat all summer. It feels so nice to see the boat shine again.

Heading back to civilization tomorrow after spending 4 months in the woods, I haven't seen my wallet in 4 months, where is it :|

The only legal characters in a BANCStar program are the digits 0 through 9, comma, minus sign, and carriage return. Blank lines are not allowed. If a "." appears anywhere in the file, the compiler will crash.

@neauoire @d6
Reading the forum, "the goal is to sequence notes, and not to produce/synthesize real time audio". Is it still the case? If so, why?

Annette

@neauoire @d6 This is all very advanced for me. My problem with the audio system is just that there seems no way to cut off a playing sound without a loud pop, because it creates an unavoidable discontinuity. Audio people tell me the way to avoid this is to stop as the wave crosses zero, but that's way more precision than is possible with the audio device spec. Would this proposal give some way to avoid these pops?

It's obviously too late now for Strange Loop, but I've just realized that I could load uxn programs directly into Adelie slideshows.. I could have made interactive slides!!

Jonas

@neauoire
This is awesome! Is it also possible to launch a Adelie slide from Potato? I didn't find a way

Dane Henson

@neauoire interactive Adelie slideshows? That’s bonkers!!! this feels similar to when I realized that a uxn rom could probably fit in an ax.25 info frame (ham radio packet protocol). Not that I’m ever going to do anything with that knowledge.

In regards to the Unity engine, I'm seeing a lot of warning against the dangers of centralization and single point of failure, coming from the *checks notes* mastodon.social instance

@neauoire 😅 as someone who's self-hosted dns, email, www, etc. for about 20 years it's wild how the two public moods seem to be (a) why would you ever bother doing this? and (b) how could anyone have predicted this centralized thing would go bad?

@neauoire If Gargron decides to enshittify the deal tomorrow, I can jump ship to another instance more or less instantaneously.

Now that the first pass of proof-reading for Wiktopher is behind us, we have begun to look into cleaning up some of the worlding aspects of the book, which include congames, conlangs and even conrecipes. One of Lupin's dialects can be whistled, and as to encode the various poems of the story into pitches, we decided to pick the #Solresol constructed language as a suitable candidate.

Not previously knowing the language, I have spent the past few days neck-deep in digital archeology excavating some of the language's vanishing documents from the Wayback Machine and transcribing them in a format that will allow me to translate the texts. While I'm at it, I'm planning on translating Thousand Rooms(Famimi Remisolla) as practice.

@neauoire I'm so excited for Wiktopher @rek !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rek: Could you help translate a poem into a whistling composition?

I don't know why I've never noticed it before, but the "B" key on the thinkpad is slightly misaligned vertically. It's hella distracting now that I've seen it.

Ross Schulman

@neauoire Oh god, that's it. You might just have to throw the laptop in the ocean at this point. At least, I would never be able to unsee that.

Sam Nabi

@neauoire Good excuse to make custom keycaps now 😌

@neauoire on my X200s all letters are on the top left in the same way. maybe it's related to the trackpoint nub in yours?

Made up an ascii encoding in parallel to the Shavian script so I can quickly input it in my little dictionary rom.

Sebastian LaVine

@neauoire It's asking to be represented in just 3 bits though!

Floppy 💾

@neauoire The translation from the Shavian glyphs to Ascii mostly make sense to me.

But for "sol", why did you go for 'z' (resembling forward slash) instead of e.g. 's' (resembling a flipped 'z' or back slash)?

@neauoire is this making jam on a train (orange jam, pear jam, etc.), jamming a train, making music on a train or coding on a train? lol English is fun
