@glitzersachen By the way, #Lisp is not retro, it's metro!
(subst 'metro 'retro '(retro computing by LISP))
I recently started learning common Lisp (partially inspired by Free as in Freedom 2.0) and now feeling very enthusiastic to learn and experiment more and more!
Relatedly, @karen, as a reminder the “… And we're back” bit is from an #SNL skit done by Jimmy Fallon. Given what we now know about Fallon, I'm disinclined to do his bits anymore.
So we need new “return” bit. I guess I'll look for one after the #Vizio trial is over.

The way @karen & I did #FaiF
when the workplace situation was still a mess was staunchly focusing it as “volunteer activity tied to no employer of ours”. It was “our thing” personally.
When Karen came to #SFC as an employee, it made podcast de-facto SFC work. We both have 0 leisure time, so it'd be SFC-official if it happens. & that has some weirdness to us.
Plus we live 3k miles away. Lotsa podcast hosts live far away, but our stichck always worked better in the same room.

Not a month goes by that @karen & I don't discuss restarting the podcast. To give a peek behind the curtain, the podcast started as a project mandated by a toxic employer, but it became one of the few things we actually like about that job.
It's a tribute to @karen's & my resilient & truly special professional collaboration that we were able to continue doing it after we both escaped that toxic workplace & got #FaiF going as an independent podcast.
More in next post…
