Dear friends of programming,  

I should get back to python. Not really a comedy language (Nudge, nudge). However I think I may try to find one of my programs. May be a call for it. Written in XBasic by Max Reason.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBasic

I may just finish my Gtkdialog4 program
https://www.wikka.puppylinux.com/GtkDialog

Or maybe start using Neuro Linguistic Programming again (not a programming language)

지금 넷북에는 Puppy Linux 깔아두고 있는데(한글 입력기는 fcitx), Damn Small Linux 다시 시도해볼까 아니면 MX Linux 깔아볼까 이러고 있음. 그걸로 뭘 하려는게 목적이 아니라 '이게 깔리나' '잘 되나'가 목적이 전도된 것 같은데...

Laptops die écht oud zijn en niet meer geschikt om fatsoenlijk op te internetten hebben één groot voordeel: je kan er niet mee internetten. Dus: typen zonder afleiding, of tekenen zonder afleiding. Geen verleiding om toch even op social media te gluren of het nieuws te lezen.
Ik gebruik dit netbookje nu voor de referentiefoto's, beter dan telefoonscherm en neemt weinig ruimte in op mijn bureau.
Het toetsenbord is net wat te klein om hem als typemachine te gebruiken.
