initial ugens page added to !monolith wiki, with link to woven ugens scheme file. the first non-C woven file in monolith. [[/proj/monolith/wiki/ugens]]. #docs #updates
new words added to the !index
added a twtxt activity section on the !monolith page
I added scripts to my bash so it cheers me up with friendly greetings and messages
The master plan is to export the !worgle bits of !monolith to a !weewiki, then begin adding user-level documentation that is able to dynamically reference bits of source code as another wiki page.
some example graphics added onto my !btprnt page.

Love it we have a “contract” developer but he is not in the right group to push commits to the code repo. When I suggested that he be added to the right group one of the other developers was like that will give him access to everything. I’m sorry but what is everything? It’s not like he can pull from any of the repos as it is. Right now he just can’t commit.
It really pisses me off when people use ‘infinite’ to mean ‘really big’. If something’s actually infinite, adding more to it produces the same number (like in Hilbert’s hotel)

@sdk@codevoid.de Well I’ve added the special datetime to my kitbashed client. I store the URL it gets but I’m not doing anything with it right now.
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org: Check my tw.txt file. The specification does not allow a comment. I’ve added this now: 1970-01-01T01:00:00.000000Z▸FF:https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt. I’d use the special date/time + FF: comment as trigger. This is backwards compatible and shouldn’t really come up in anyones’ timeline.
Any thoughts about decentralized ways to discover twtxt users? I’ve set up https://codevoid.de/tw.following.txt which is my following list plus whatever comes in via user-agent. If everybody would set this up with the with an added .following we could fetch each others list and discover users that way.
Worst IAP ever. 15sec w/o ads? really? gopher://codevoid.de/I/p/IMG_5270.png
I always thought about putting together some sort of micro-blog/journal where I can post my daily brainfarts and list them on my webpage. Now, after adding twtxt to my page I have exactly that. It’s kind of cool.
…and I’ve also added my last tweets to my gopher hole. I don’t know why, but this makes me happy.

Hot take: almost all ACTUAL statements encountered in daily life are untestable except in an ad-hoc & ambiguous way, because their referents don’t map well to physical reality.

Hot take: the lack of targetting effectiveness in Cambridge Analytica & Google Ads doesn’t excuse it. There are 4 sins here: taking the data, trying to target with it, targetting poorly, and overselling targetting accuracy. They compound.

Bad idea of the day: Instead of ads mining bitcoins in your browser, they run IPFS nodes and pin arbitrary hashes in browser persistent storage then store them.

Let’s be honest, it seems to be impossible to use twtxt without adding new stuff to the client. So much fun.

Quake for Oculus Rift
My Oculus Rift CV1 finally arrived last week, so of course I had to update my fork of the excellent Quakespasm engine for the new Oculus 1.4 API.
While I was at it, I also fixed a number of bugs, included support for the Rift’s headphones and the XBox One controller – I’d still recommend you play with mouse & keyboard, though. Controls are set up with reasonable defaults, but you can of course change everything in the options menu. There’s also … ⌘ Read more
