The second tech meet, after a long pause. The text in this hypha was typed by the attendess.
Attending:
-
Timur
This time, not on Discord, but on Jitsi. Jitsi worked fine, unlike Discord, with which there were some sound problems.
Matrix is an open-source federated messaging platform.
Uxn is a fantasy computer, virtual machine.
-
Melanocarpa is Timur's digital garden.
-
the tour bus system
-
Agora — an aggregator for digital gardens
-
"Flancia!"— flancia.org — a vision of a future lifestyle
FedWiki vs Mycorrhiza federation approach:
-
Boucepaw's vision:
-
link, transclude, log in across wikis
-
Mycorrhiza wants to be a "rock" - stable, solid
-
-
Fedwiki's vision:
-
SmallTalk & wiki link somehow (?)
-
plugins, Javascript
-
"Your wiki is your website, and nobody else edits it. Instead, it's forked, and the fork is edited."
-
Fedwiki is like "water" - fluid, liquid
-
Lion's Pamphlet system written in Tcl/Tk. Text data stored in one LSF format, images are in a separate folder and can be Ctrl+V
ed.
Tiled map. Tile, grid vs no grid.
Tried out tree sheets. Kinda fun. It seems they have their own home-grown application format :-(
What Lion likes about Lua:
-
It's C. It's primitive C.
-
It's Dictionary-based. ("Tables")
-
It's Globals-based.
Lion loves Python just like he loves his wife.
Making a programmer community in Seattle. A long monologue about community-building and philosophy.
