Wondering if I shouldn't perhaps call it a day or not, the working file size happens to be exactly 11'245 bytes long, or 0x2bed. Aight, I'll take that as a sign.

Spending our days hiking through the old logging trails is doing a number on my footwear. They're utterly fucked, we're only barely over mid-july, and we won't be running across nothing like a shoes store for weeks(months?). I've tried duct tape, but the shells at low tide cuts right through.

The year is 2024, you need a net terminal gene to access the netsphere, Davinelulinvega can't cross the river.

I find it's curious that the tail recursive implementation of fib is smaller than the non tail-recursive. Is that normal?

Sail to the middle of absolutely nowhere, and you can be sure that someone is going to row up to your boat and talk your ears off about the latest news drama happening in the city.

"Pagans looked to the natural world for meaning. Christian identity, on the other hand, was manifest in human-made consecrated structures."

"Mathematical elegance, conceptual simplicity, and their companion, brevity of an unambiguous reference manual, are a condition sine qua non for any product reliable enough to attain stability. Needless to say, this sober message is unacceptable. Simplicity requires hard work to be obtained and education for its appreciation, and complexity sells much better."

I don't know what I expected

"More generally, be aware that relying on license terms is relying on the legal system, and by extension the government, even if nobody ever actually goes to court. Illegal codes, codes that condone or encourage illegal behavior, or codes that go against public policy, may not be enforceable through courts or other administrative bodies. If enforcing any part of your code through legal terms is patently impossible, other hooks may still be available."

Folks on the Uxn mailing list asked me to define a Uxntal "standard", a kind of specification of how long valid tokens are, what is the maximum length for a label, what are capitalized label names for, and so on. I'll be trying to draft this up this week.

It was nice to sail through internet signal for a night so we could catch up with emails, issues, and waste a bit of time online. Heading north around noon toward Hole-In-The-Wall.

Updated the Varvara docs with little examples for each device, based on feedback from people implementing their own emulators, and added links to test files that might help validating the various implementations.

I rejoyced after reading about list of websites that “best embodies the idea of a small, playful and heartfelt web.” I thought, finally! Something I can enjoy! None of the entries work on my computer. This is so classic.
