  3. WebCard is not a large system but I documented it anyway, explaining the few things it adds to or differs from NoteCards.

  4. A sneak peek at the bitmap I designed for WebCard cards of type Web, here open in the Medley Interlisp bitmap editor. The bitmap at the actual size is near the top left corner whereas the magnified view takes up most of the window.

    The bitmap represents a card at the center of which is a globe with meridians and parallels.

  5. I'm considering the next steps to conclude the work on WebCard project for the RetroChallenge 2024.

  6. Since I need to import a bitmap in Medley for WebCard I'm researching some image conversion tools.

  7. WebCard now does some basic housekeeping of visited URLs. This reduces web browser tab clutter and keeps unintentional link traversals under control.

  8. I finally fixed a URL validation bug of WebCard, which turned out to be just a typo in a clause of an Interlisp iterative statement.

  9. WebCard cards of type Web are stand ins for WWW websites. So I changed the code to make the text of such cards read only and refactored the text updating code.

  10. I added two items to the title bar menu of WebCard cards, one for visiting and the other for editing the URL associated with a card.

  11. Really good progress with WebCard today. I learned how to add items to the left-click menu of NoteCards cards, and added the URL visit and edit commands for cards of type Web.

  12. Today I reviewed the WebCard code, researched NoteCards, and planned what to do next.

  13. This draft paper dated 1979, apparently never published, gave an historical overview of early programming languages for AI.

    The document helps make sense of names like POPLER and QLISP. What's interesting is high level languages such as PLANNER and CONNIVER saw initial interest but little actual use.

  17. Multi-language IDEs that interact with interpreters via protocols are now common, from classic Emacs with its inferior process protocols to VS Code with LSP and similar modern environments.

    This paper described an early exploration of these ideas: a language-independend, Interlisp-based environment that interfaced with language processors over the ARPANET. In 1974.

  18. RetroChallenge announced the results of RC2024/10 and I'm honored to be among the winners. I entered with the WebCard project written in Interlisp, a NoteCards extension for visiting websites.

    Thanks to the organizers, voters, and judges and congrats to all the entrants, especially @psychotimmy who won the Grand Prize.

  19. At ACM #Hypertext @ht: Mark Anderson talking about spatial hypertext and its origins, also referring to Frank Halasz's #NoteCards. See his full paper “W(h)ither Spatial Hypertext?” at doi.org/10.1145/3720553.3746683

  20. A rare copy for sale of "Lisp Style and Design" by Molly Miller and Eric Benson (Digital Press, 1990), a great book cited by Paul Graham in On Lisp that covers often overlooked topics. All the proceeds will be donated to the Medley Interlisp Project.
