@screwtape

because friends at exozyme, my 1a-insec.net/about/hello/ is back up!

this time with repungant content

Thanks @a for not letting my writing go with the wind.

Hello There – 1A Insecure Networkwww.1a-insec.net

@iacore
Thank you for your wonderful and lucid, if far-ranging, greeting.

I was reminded that there are two books on my crowded reading list. For one, I think Hofstadter's autobiography was called I Am A Strange Loop.
Further in the lisp vane, I think there was a book identifying the problem of the halting problem as probably being more general; that there are important features of computation that aren't amenable to proof. I will look up the title.

You've read me read Sandewall I think
@a

@screwtape

I couldn't make it to your lispy gopher show recently. Is there any other way that people who meet there meet? Maybe it's better to create a matrix room for that?

@a

@screwtape oh i'm stupid. fedi is a place.

@iacore actually, we have a study group for SICP and SICM meeting at 1800UTC Saturdays now, except I can't make it [tomorrow] argh.

From my perspective all meeting and in-person interaction is fundamentally native to lambdamoo in the first place.

I think lambda, and possibly some other surviving MOOs are the most important oases in our cyberverse.

I'm definitely excited to meet up and talk more with you after reading more of your authorship.

@screwtape can we just talk normally on xmpp i have trouble navigating MOO worlds

@iacore I think MOOing is important but one day I will successfully install an XMPP client once again I hope

screwlisp

@iacore yduJ well-summarised the distinction. Where XMPP is a chat,

MOOs are chats with programmable scenery.

@screwtape is there a MOO client that can save received messages,
think it would be very powerful as a chat app, like IRC
