A belted kingfisher hangs around the docks, we see/hear them almost every day now ^^.

A keen horticulturalist, Tim Curry loves to develop and restore gardens. One time, he designed a garden for Freddie Mercury. Freddie came back from a tour and said to Tim...

"The garden, dear, it's dead."

"What? Did you water it?"

And Freddie said, "Water it, dear?"

@rek I would *love* to have hung out with those two.

In this strange computer, rules can be sometimes applied backward, pressing the arrow button will unapply a rule and might help you recover and earlier state.

When the current helps, and when it doesn't.

Même si t'as changé le muffler, chromé tes roues et que tu fais tes stops comme il faut, conduire un char volé c'est pas "éthique".

I added a rough version of our Southeast Alaska sailing route to our live map(runs through land at times, and it doesn't include anchorages)

It's fun to see it next to our past routes ^___^

@rek You might've crossed paths with Tally Ho at some point! They were sailing in the area for a month or two and then returned to Port Townsend for the wood boat festival.

@rek what do you use to record these paths?
plz don't say you plot these manually.

Completed a zine that teaches the basics of multiset rewriting programming with examples and also includes the source for a tiny Fractran interpreter.

Thanks for everyone who sent feedback, I've included the suggestions. I'll have a bunch of those at Handmade Seattle next month, if you'd like one, just come and see me and I'll give you a copy :catclock:

"A poem is when you hear the heartbeat of a stone."

From the book "Ceci est un poème qui guérit les poissons" (This Is a Poem That Heals Fish) by Jean-Pierre Siméon, illustrated by Olivier Tallec.

Any Merv wanting to (or planning to) attend Handmade Seattle and need a hand financing that?

I’ll be buying a ticket soon and am willing to sponsor another ticket or two for others // or reimburse financially constrained folks who will be there.

Please DM if interested.

A marina neighbor does paid boat canvas work for other sailors, we collect his Sunbrella offcuts(bits that would have gone to the trash) for some of our own projects :>...

Decompressing after closing out a series of readings online tonight to launch Dark Mountain's latest anthology, Dark Ocean: exceptional ideas — in prose, poetry, and imagery — from around the world.

Thank you so much @neauoire, @rek and @chainik for your support.

You can order the book here:

@ccohanlon I really enjoyed it :>! Hearing your words with your own voice for the first time was really special.

i’m talking in about an hour (gonna livecode some RSS)

I am very happy to announce that Rabbit Waves is out!

The idea for this project came after @neauoire & I were discussing the disappearance of certain traditional seasteading skills and maritime communication knowledge. We believe these skills are valuable when electronics misbehave, but they're also just generally fun to learn and to use.

All of the art is drawn by hand :>! We will add more content as we go!

@neauoire

This is really neat! I'll have to check it out more in depth later.

I wonder what the politics behind choosing Norwegian over Swedish or Danish was. It's the least populous and newest of the three, and from what my Norwegian friends have said, they're considered the bumpkins of the three. They're all interoperable with each other, so that doesn't matter so much, but still.

(Now I'm wondering if the official code books are written in both Bokmål and Nyorsk, (the two official written languages of Norwegian,).)

@rek @neauoire This is pretty cool! I notice, though, the homepage was a perfect case for imagemaps, but you didn't use them? Was that a deliberate design decision?

This Friday, 18th October, Dark Mountain is launching its latest anthology, Dark Ocean, with online readings by some of its contributors (I'll be among them).

The event starts at 7.30pm UK time and is free, although you do need to register via Eventbrite.

After a few sailing seasons, this is what our anchoring gloves look like. They were not protecting my hands much in the end :neofox_laugh_sweat:

So long gloves! Have a rest, you've been through enough.
