i'm not sure whether it's cool to like #theSimpsons these days but i am a sucker for #treehouseOfHorror

i'm fed up with @SDF VoIP service blocking outbound calls for appropriately-registered and up-to-dues subscribed members.

as much as i hate complaining as an end-user, i've suspicion that being cool and accepting no response of any kind with a "well they must be soooo busy" grain of salt is not healthy for anyone involved, especially after about two years of gently bumping the issue and not once hearing back even so much as a "we're not going to fix that."

so what can we do to get this fixed!?

watching a new derren brown film entitled #Sacrifice which seems similar to his #thePush except where in the latter a subject is aggressively persuaded to push a living breathing person to their death, and in the former a subject is aggressively persuaded to take a bullet for a complete stranger belonging to a group against which they began with intense bias.

this is such a treat to me. i couldn’t be derren brown on account of ethics &or low confidence. so to watch what he’ll do is enthralling.

while putting together my new sdf web index, i stumbled on this gorgeous-to-me map of my #MUCLR project which is a multi-user commonlisp repl. one could imagine an irc channel in which each user a) has their own repl b) can issue forms for evaluation in a shared repl, moderated by the owners of the channel ... so it's a social and real-time programming environment of the most lofty and idealistic variety i have yet been capable of to imagine.
