Here's video evidence of having finally achieved MVP status on my years-old #ePaper #cyberdeck concept. I wrote it up on the ol' #gopher log, but here's the TLDR:

#9P enabled me to build the perfect pair of ePaper
#cyberterminal devices -- now made whole with a unique
computing environment built on #Zephyr -- completed by
a #plan9 'rc' workalike shell, with commands for namespace management things and interactive chat over #LoRa --
fulfilling my initial vision for these devices!

Current mood: Leslie Lamport once defined a distributed system as one in which the failure of a computer you didn't know existed can prevent you from getting anything done.
Implemented #Lisp in #Uxntal today, it makes for a 2kb embeddable virtual machine that I can embed in our next game project. I've implemented a bunch of Lisp systems over the years(Ronin, SECDs, etc..) but it's the first time doing it in a catlang. It's impressive how well it maps to a stack machine, it's clearly a better fit than binding environment to a register, things just want to be linear, there's no need whatsoever for variables.

This is maybe the biggest FINALLY in my career as a purveyor of Oddly Specific Objects: The Open Book is in prelaunch at Crowd Supply! But it's not the same old Open Book; we're launching the all-new, completely reimagined Open Book Touch with WiFi and Bluetooth support, a higher-resolution display, capacitive touchscreen, and frontlight with adjustable color temperature.

Matthias has been hard at work implementing a way to render SVG icons with animations in GTK4: https://blogs.gnome.org/gtk/2025/10/23/svg-in-gtk/

SVG in GTK

GTK has been using SVG for symbolic icons since essentially forever. It hasn't been a perfect relationship, though. Pre-History For the longest time (all through the GTK 3 era, and until recently), we've used librsvg indirectly, through gdk-pixbuf, to obtain rendered icons, and then we used some pixel tricks to recolor the resulting image according...
