I've been playing Conway's Phutball a lot these past few days, I transcribed the rules on my wiki if anyone is looking for a fun 2-players boardgame.

@neauoire this reminds me of when i was using plan9, it would make nightly backups and it never came close to filling the drive, even after like, a year.

I think the best thing about webrings is seeing the sheer variety and creaitivity of website styles.
So many people put a ton of care and effort into their designs and it's really awesome to see.

Assembling the OS, with a Drifblim, an assembler written in the language it is assembling, takes 1.6 seconds.
Working on an operating system is making me realize some of the shortcomings of the text-editor I use. The OS source is like 50k tokens, and I waste most of my time scrolling up and down trying to locate routines in the massive source file.
This morning I added a simple list of nearby routines to help navigating the project file, it also really ties up the interface together nicely.
Smalltalk syntax may "fit on a postcard", but, it's a postcard that hurts me. I do not like this syntax. It just offends my sense of aesthetics. Worse, I don't think this is syntax I could ever explain to *myself* let alone to kids.
And I survived 8-bit BASIC! But Smalltalk is still just alien to me.
Next time I stop by the Hunted Bookstore in Sidney, I'm leaving with everything they've got by Martin Gardner.
