By any chance, are you gonna implement https://melanocarpa.lesarbr.es/hypha/temperament.tal?

@bouncepaw I could make a timer app, or that could be a good thing to add to the uxntal clock, are you thinking of implementing it?
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

I planned to implement it in September, but it's December already. When I get to coding, I'll be implementing Betula [1], so no, I'm not planning to implement the timer.

@bouncepaw if that's something you'd use, I can yeah 😀 it's pretty straightforward
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

I'd use it if it used decimal numbers! I don't think hexadecimal yet
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

I was wondering how I'd possibly add events and notes to the calendar.. And I really didn't care to go with a little input box and go through all the trouble and highlighting cells and that sort of bullshit.

I'll just make it so I can draw on the calendar, that'll be it. 📆
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

with that background, colour scheme, and pixelated hand drawn lines it is giving me Knowledge Navigator vibes in a good way.
in reply to Florian Pigorsch

@flopp yup, there's a new pixel buffer file created for each month that I've drawn on. I can even paste some graphics like stickers with Noodle I think, lemme try something.
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

this cal feels ideological kinda like "Don't get too specific, for how much can one truly plan the future anyway?"

Devine Lu Linvega reshared this.

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

are the annotations saved to a file? (also: i was thinking about submitting a patch to enable it to read calendar events from text once i learned how the file device works, but this is way more fun)
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

oh, neat! so you could make a nice little background drawing for each month
in reply to salarua

@salarua yup! just have to name the file Jan23, Feb23, etc.. 😀 it also supports theme files so you can change the colors for each calendar folder.

not sure if you’ll love or hate programmable ink https://www.inkandswitch.com/inkbase/
in reply to remy

@remy I know it 😀 It's neat! It's developed by @pvh's research lab
@pvh @remy
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

@remy that description is too possesive. i've helped a bit with the ink work, but it's mostly james lindenbaum, szymon kaliski, and marcel goethals.

@pvh duh, of course I started following pvh because of merveilles 😀 a calendar based on programmable ink would be dope

@eli_oat Inversely, I look at your today's adventure and I'm just like "what's a hash table"

*looks it up, don't understand the wikipedia entry, goes back to drawing pixels*
Unknown parent

Devine Lu Linvega
@pfr I'm just drawing pretty pixels, there's not much more to it than that 😀
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

we'll, for what is worth, I'd love a full desktop environment based on this aesthetic. UxnOS? 😂

Devine Lu Linvega
@vi cheers 😀 Well, if you implement the uxntal routines, let me know and I'll add them to the docs!

@pfr @RL_Dane I didn't even really grow up with that stuff myself, it's things I learnt about later and so it still feels kind of novel.

A few years ago I started toying with the Atari ST and Macintosh emulators, but they had long been obsolete by that time. I'm just playing catch up with the computing history it seems.
in reply to R. L. Dane :debian: :openbsd:

@RL_Dane technically, I'm s millennial as I was born in 1985. But I'm on the cusp.

I remember dial up internet and a time before personal computers so I'm in the same boat.
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

@RL_Dane so am I. Think my first home PC was on windows 98... Netscape navigator etc...
Never used Atari, or a commodore 64. It never interested me, until I started exploring the beginnings of Unix, then I discovered that the stuff before Unix was pretty cool too. It's amazing what you're doing and I wanna be a part of it 😀

@tty yeah that'd be proper awful, there'd need to be a format that's only the bare minimum of outlines.
Unknown parent

this connects to something I've really craved: a personal map program that lets you scribble annotations anywhere, and save them as layers, which can be shared p2p with others! I've thought about uxn for this, but loading huge OSM tilesets into it feels very.. un-uxn.

Devine Lu Linvega
@tty since we don't have smartphones with maps, when we go cycling, we carry these map books of the cities we're going through with us. They works incredibly well, I think I doubt I could make a program that has a better UX than that ;)

@jayrope it's just an app, it's 2.4kb, it runs on pretty much all computer platforms and even GBA, NDS, etc..
Unknown parent

Devine Lu Linvega
@jayrope yeah, it'll work all the way back to early OS X versions, even when it still had X11 support.
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega

@jayrope and for Windows, you can use this version: https://github.com/randrew/uxn32

Which works all the way back to older versions of Windows 😀
