** Talking about phloging style with Thankful Machine
Speaking to [[gopher://thankful.garden]] on the gopher on the elephantine
tusked surface gopher has evolved my orgphosting style. Obviously the
issue at hand was that deviating gopher protocol from its eternal
perfection would be to spoil it and how orgmode would not constitute
that. One difference we talked about was the difference between a
mark-up and a mark-down where a mark-down is a set of conventions to
improve readability of the text document, and a mark-up is a set of
basically unreadable commands intended to generate some other readable
display. Life-in-plain-text orgmode markdown is a markdown, and
\textit{TeX} or <XML-like markups> are </XML-like markups>.
However I take the point that my initial orgmode style looked like I
was using a markup: They were basically unreadable without GNU emacs
orgmode, and the first page was filled with an orgmode executable
source block (markdown) of emacs lisp to jiggle an elpher-mode buffer
into a local /tmp directory cached version in orgmode. Adding overhead
to create the actually usable document as such feels like a markup,
which implies supplanting the gopher's ways.
Fortunately I can just move the garish overhead to a subterrainean
machine appendix, to be perused by the interested.
** GNU40
Happy 40th birthday GNU! For a few hours still in antedeluvian time
zones. The broader GNU operating system is the earth we excavate our
gopherholes in. Even BSD operating systems basically pace GNU, along
with the GNU's proprietary competitors who ignore and parasitise GNU
slash linux and the broader GNU operating system.
I would say modern lisp fundamentally inhabits the gnu operating
system. In fact the lisp machine traditions somewhat uniquely are
peers to the GNU system, though in lisp machines we might say Complete
Programming System rather rather than the GNU operating system. Even
so everything except Alfred M. Szmidt's system300 lispm FPGA port
fundamentally inhabits linux, with maybe with BSD ports. And ams in
particular ran with GNU hurd for years: And I think he and I and we
all have this gratitude towards the GNU project and the meagre
freedoms afforded us away from the baleful legal ownership norms of
platonic forms of the space of potential computer programs.
Thank you Richard M. Stallman, in the next 40 years I will stop
pointed refering to the lispy gopher show as Described By Some As
Meandering And Boring, though in fact I think this feedback
specifically improved my quality.
One way I intend to continue living my next 40 years and ever more is
to license everything it can reasonably apply to under AGPLv3+. I
guess the extra trick is to explicitly assign control of license
enforcement to the Free Software Foundation. I'll check it out.
** ROOPHLOCH
I was reading notable gopher and synth laboratory garage burrower
xiled [[gopher://booji.mutated]] and between broken ankle blues, xiled
remembered ROOPHLOCH to me. So my resolution is while it's still
ROOPHLOCH for a few days to outdoor phlog and ask xiled's help
relaying it to solderpunk's ROOPHLOCH aggregation.
