I believe there was a non-MUD spinoff of #LPC called #Pike which never really took off - it could have become what #Python is today, I think.
But anyway - LPC was amazing. Being for an online game, you could edit the game's code while it was running. I was actually logged into the game as a dev, chatting with players, while I wrote code, created spells, monsters, quests, treasure, and whole new areas for players to explore. How's that for CI/CD? And this was in the 90's!
I just remembered how much I like #LPC - Lars Pensjö C - the programming language of #LPMUD. MUDs are the text-based precursors to today's MMORPGs.
I spent a lot of time writing LPC in the 90's, working on a MUD I'm still involved in. LPC was a lot like #Python before Python became popular. Coming from a C background, LPC felt natural to me; mostly the same syntax, but automatic memory management like Python. Especially at that time, it was really enjoyable to use. And still usable today.
On the Eve of My Independence
Tomorrow is Monday, March 16. Tomorrow, I officially walk into the clinic and start my new job as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
After four months, eight relocations, and surviving a system rigidly designed to make disabled people fail, I have finally reached the starting line. I survived.
This week was kinda quiet on the mutual aid front. I was able to get groceries and pay some necessary bills (like my phone), though, and amazing person dropped $100 into the GFM, bringing our final rent gap down to exactly $723.
I am literally 24 hours away from stepping into my first full-time job in six years. I just need to hold onto this apartment until my first paycheck arrives.
If you have been waiting for the right moment to help, today is the day. Let's close this final $723 gap so I can go to work tomorrow knowing that Riko and my sanctuary are completely secure. 💜

And truly, to those who have shown support, shared, or donated, thank you for believing in me when I struggled to. Thank you for seeing me to this moment.
I'll keep reporting on the growing good news. 😸

Bill C-233, An Act to amend the Export and Import Permits Act, was defeated on second reading. This was Jenny Kwan's bill. It was to require end-use certificates for the export of arms. Important given that some arms produced in Canada end up going to the US which then exports them to nations committing war crimes (IE, Israel).

See image for party breakdown. All the Bloc and CPC voted against, as well as 90% of the Liberals (Lori Idlout did vote Yea, though it seems she's got a lot of work to do to get the rest of her new party on board the progressive train).
