after i do the common lisp tamagotchi i will make good on my promise to make a graphical gopher browser for Mezzano
i have been meaning to do this for so long
i'd argue not--?
been thinking about the common lisp tamagotchi
maybe it is over engineering it a little to have a whole REPL in order to do the interactive commands
really all i want to be able to do is:
- WALK
- TALK
- SHOP
- PLAY
- FEED
- CLEAN
- LIGHTS
- MEDICINE
and that is more or less the finite list of things i really want it to do, i don't really need to repurpose my text adventure engine for this...
and, if so, i can just slap everything into a COND macro and perhaps be able to cycle between the options with the B button.

The hard drive amazingly works perfectly and is very quiet. It looks to be 15MB and most of the files are from 1984, with a few papers written by a high school student in 1987.
At #VCFMW, I managed to get one of my grail computers: the HP-150. It has an 8088 CPU, runs MS-DOS, but isn’t IBM compatible. It has a rudimentary touchscreen and is arguably the first computer to use the 3.5” floppy disk. It’s kind of an all-in-one: the computer is in the box with the monitor. The box it’s sitting on just has the floppy and hard drives in it.

why I think #lambdaMOO and #lisp indie #gameDev are our way forward with reference to #Heinlein's Cat Who Walks Through Walls (I made it to the last book, so...)

I reworked my common lisp pseudo-MOO server to be a metacircularly programmable MOO first and foremost using a DSLGopher

@vidak FujiNet lets Atari 8-bits and others do Internet stuff, including a text fedi client. Really the main obstacle is SSL, so you just need something to handle that.
i have always wanted to try and come up with a minimalistic ecosystem that would allow people to use the internet on an old micro
even if it was just a web gateway... i used to have an old macintosh SE/30 as well, i would have loved to get something like that online
So I commented on that post from Mozilla where they were asking for comments regarding the new ai integration.
Making that comment subscribed me to all new comments to that post, and now my mailbox is filling up with nothing but messages from people explaining just what a terrible idea it is.
I'm sure this will stop Mozilla from chasing this latest hype.
golang is bad
python is bad
ruby is bad
c++ is bad

everything except lisp is bad.
