Today, Mar. 27, 2026 at 12pm CDT / 17:00 UTC (approx 4hrs from now), I plan on streaming #McCLIM and graphics things.

The topic is learning more about CLIM gestures to support IME input from Wayland

I'm improving #McCLIM handling of the presentation type history. I wrote a simple visualizer that helps me with keeping track of what's going on. Of course the visualizer is another CLIM application frame :).

I plan on streaming #McCLIM and #OpenGL things in approx. 90 min from this post time, 2026-03-20 12pm CDT/ 17:00 UTC.

I plan on testing out the just-merged input-editing work from upstream and working out some of the remaining bugs with the text atlas using the mcclim-truetype backend. It would be great if I was in a place to start on the SDF side by the end.

Whew, that was a long run :)

#mcclim #lisp

also: https://codeberg.org/McCLIM/McCLIM/pulls/1498

now what is left are a few sections for the manual and adding a few more examples.

But is it pixel perfect? yes, yes it is :3

Positioning graphics on a text line with and without moving the cursor with arbitrary extension directions from the origin and varying line directions makes my head hurt (again!)

Tracing the last bug before the release.

#lispyGopherClimate In a concerning recurring theme, I am tired

but tune in to https://toobnix.org/w/gXLXQqxf5MYg1NDF2Ua6oA (the #gopher themselves). We are going to discuss #lambdaMOO . Cat is thinking about a new moo interface which I will pitch #McCLIM #commonLisp for.

I have three #irc channels on my screen, you might be in one of them.

I haven't had much time to work on my #Wayland backend for #McCLIM this week but here is a small extension of the previous success. Here I'm reading the Japanese translation of the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights from a file and rendering the string directly to a scrollable CLIM window.

When I inspect the text atlas (not shown) it appears to have 1714 items cached.

So, I've opened these:
