I find it quite funny that people getting money from Red Hat are campaigning against and calling Nazi the guy who forked Xorg. FYI Red Hat is owned by IBM, and IBM are the guys who sold to the Nazis the system to register and track people (the Jews). Feel free to keep acting like the morally superior ones.

Recently, a friend mentioned St. Augustine to me. I'm reading a collection of books about philosophers, and today I finished one of them. Guess who the next one is about? Yes, St. Augustine. Coincidence?

Finally I'm starting to get a bit more comfortable with all those parentheses and I'm starting to make my own changes in the code without #DrRacket complaining at every single step 💪

Friday night. Weekend!
What I'm up to?
- Party out until dawn? No
- Relax in front of the TV? No
- Playing videogames? No
- Sleeping all night? No

I'm working through the book How To Design Programs to get my feet wet with #LISP family languages

After reading all the comments and doing my own research I think that I'm going to start with Racket. Maybe I'll use part of my Christmas holidays to start with it.

Thanks to all the people that has participated and helped with their comments.

From the latest solderpunk phlog post:

"So here's the first important bit of information that I want widely
propagated: Ye olde https://github.com/solderpunk/VF-1 is gone forever and the new authoritative location for the VF-1 codebase is https://git.sr.ht/~solderpunk/VF-1. If you have published links somewhere to the old address, please update them."

Question for lispers with experience: If you should start to learn a LISP style language today, which one do you pick up? Why?

Coincidence? Maybe I'm predestined to own an Osborne computer?
Who knows ;)

New entry on my sdf gopherhole phlog. Today I was in reflection mode.

@fab I use #elpher too and it's very nice. I use it almost with #gopher so I'm not bothered by the certificate issue you're pointing out.

I've seen a poll about operating systems lately and I think that people should learn one or two things before talking (writing).

Let me clarify you 1, 2 or 3 things:

- #Linux is not an operating system it's just a kernel. Maybe you mean GNU/Linux

- #Mac is not an operating system, it's a computer. Maybe you mean Mac OS or Mac OS X

- #Microsoft is not an operating system, it's a corporation. Maybe you mean #DOS, #Windows or even #Xenix

Ok folks, the class is over. See you next Monday 😎

My poll about *nix typesetting systems ended today and I published on my Phlog my thoughts about it:
