Forgive my radio silence <3 I am lacking a place to write at the moment.

- all things are lisp symbols in packages with plists. The plists are the data.
- There's the app ( 'core' ), player, room, item objects (~classes with command table twins)
All further changes are basically just feature objects and replacement classes in the moo or fixes.
Calling it
Works both in the repl and in the clim gui. The repl is surprisingly nice.

;; A codeberg README orgfile. The following lisp repl interaction:

(asdf:load-system :moonclimb)
  (in-package :moonclimb/user)
  (defparameter fr (frame-plist (core)))
  (dolist (expr '(
		  (execute-frame-command
		   fr '(com-@create player named screwtape))
		  (execute-frame-command
		   fr '(com-@create room named cave))
		  (execute-frame-command
		   fr '(com-@connect screwtape to cave))
		  (push-plist (sneezer)
		      (:com-sneeze (format t "You sneeze.")))
		  (execute-frame-command
		   fr '(com-@create thing named sneezer))
		  (push-plist (cave)
		      (:contents (sneezer)))
		  (execute-frame-command
		   fr '(@retable))
		  (execute-frame-command
		   fr '(com-take sneezer nil nil))
		  (terpri)
		  (getf (symbol-plist 'screwtape)
		   :inventory)
		  (execute-frame-command fr
		   '(com-sneeze nil nil nil))))
    (eval expr))

getting my hands dirty with some plan9 graphics programming for the first time!

Screenshot of a Plan 9 session, on the middle there's an application I'm coding showing just some text labels and some lines.



Plans have surfaced of further tying Australia to the US military industrial complex with yet another US military station being built in Western Australia. The purpose of the station is paradoxically to defend Australia from our biggest trading partner.

Labor, and the ABC, supposedly left-left wing organisations, are attacking the Greens and Max Chandler-Mather for supporting the CFMEU.

Hands off the CFMEU, we have a right to protest!

@tonicfunk looking good!!

This fall, it will have been 4 since I began using , I feel like writing a kind of review, or some kind of summary of lessons learned during this 4 years adventure into personal computing, interesting events, answering some critiques, talking about some dead-ends and so on.

I will be very amused, if all I need to do to make a Gopher client for CP/M that uses a serial wifi modem is to send strings to the modem and treat the response differently depending on the type of the selector I sent. That feels like the kind of thing I could code in Turbo Pascal over a couple of weekends. It can't be that easy, can it?

Pressed the release button on the trial-examples demo app again. There's some new stuff in there since the last one.

even if i pull together a mere 50 bucks, i'd love to put on a 3K code segment game jam

you can have as much RAM as you'd like, i suppose, but the code text needs to come in @ 3KB ±10%.

a table of values. qr codes hold about 1 - 3K of data.

I can't stress this enough:

Make.

Your web site.

Do.

LESS.

Things.

@jwildeboer this was an amazing project and we have to something like this again

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages Vol. 23: Alex Schroeder’s Diary https://alexschroeder.ch

PS: Alex is on Mastodon: @alex

the one thing that separates us from threads or facebook or whatever corporate social media is not technical prowess, logged hours coding, or number of commits.

it's that they're corporate suckholes and we're not. maybe it's good to be small and irrelevant. according to their standards anyway.

it's the people and the culture that hold a place together, and in the commons in a place like the fedi, we can say we have proved it, doing it the open and non-siloed way.

Red brick wall of an old warehouse with a company sign that reads "PRECISION" with the 'S' having fallen comically askew due to age. Graffiti remnants, cables and hardware, and urban found-object art adorn the wall.

my brother turned to me and said

what happened to starcraft 2?

and it shook me--we need some sort of libre reboot/clone of starcraft for sure

seriously--free idea for someone. this would seriously corner the market, starved of classic RTS action.
