• Personal/Opinions

  • Notes on an overheard conversation between a prescriptivist and a descriptivist

    “I'm going to the grocery story, so if you wake up from your nap and I'm not here, that's where I will be at.”

    “No. Don't say that.”

    “You don't want me to go to the store?”

    “No, don't end your sentances with a preposition.”

    • Netsurf on remarkable 2

      One thing I always have wished that my reMarkable 2 had was web browser. It wouldn't need to be very efficient nor the best browser out there. Just something simple I can use to read definitions for words or other small knowledge when I'm reading articles I've sent to the device.

    • Crosslane Station

      Added a new zine to the zine page, Crosslane Station -- a collection of microfictions about some sods on a space station on an important patch of the middle of nowhere.

  • Programming

    • Slightly Less Historic Ada Design

      I thought the line of development from "Software Tools", through Pascal, Ada-83, the Ada Software Repository, Public Ada Library finished with the tools I resurrected for Alire. However, there was further development after this time and it's basically exactly what I was trying to do in the last post. A set of reusable packages is explicitly called out. I never found a CD-ROM ISO image for the ASE2, but I found them on disk 1 of the PAL, in dir ada/swtools/scatcdsk . At least "build 1", which is all I was interested in.
