@technomancy Yeah I hear you. It seems like they've been growing a lot in many good ways though.

no I'm not afraid to open my inbox, you are

Apparently there's this thing to bring lua to godot https://github.com/perbone/luascript

Which makes me wonder how long until @technomancy ports Fennel to Godot

@jakob @wingo I'm sure @dthompson would want to know the path you take btw

@jakob oh shit, a lot of us have wanted to be able to use org-mode inside haunt for sure

I think @wingo wrote up a very basic org-mode parser (???) at some point that might also be able to be used.

@jakob gets even more challenging to clutch onto the value of time the older you get too IMO :<

I jealously guard it and still fail to do nearly a fraction of what I want to

not referring to myself just punning
I'm not that self-obsessed :P

hacking... or hack king

@jakob access to a sacrificial bike and sacrificial time? ;)

So the downside to this is: the lessons taken from that read of things will probably mean a couple more days of refactoring of #Spritely Crystal, delaying the demo/docs a small amount.

However I think it's worth it to do things right.

@abby wait is this why python's binary package stuff is called wheels

@abby need a safe ocap environment for those wheels

@jakob well there is a backlit lcd screen and corresponding computer on the bike, and that one *is* powered by the bike itself! So if it were more programmable, one could probably put some simple games on there, like maybe tetris :)

@jakob so I did some searching for whether anyone had any ideas for upping exercise levels while playing games and found a subreddit where people were talking about playing through Zelda BoTW while biking. I thought that was brilliant.

Turns out it is brilliant. Boss battle? You just bike harder.

@jakob I didn't come up with the idea, I'll admit. I wanted a recumbent exercise bike for a while, but previously I figured I'd just listen to podcasts on it. However, after I got the game Arms for the Switch, I discovered I had a lot more fun if I only played the game standing up and over-dramatically acted out the fights. I found it was mildly good cardio but really nice for stretching.

We long agreed that once we settled down for good (hopefully) I would finally get a recumbent exercise bike. So I got a basic one with armrests. I wanted a *recumbent* exercise bike specifically because I wanted to be able to play the Switch while exercising; I figured holding the joy-cons independently while biking would work great.

And it has worked great. I'm biking my way through several games. First time I've ever consistently exercised and enjoyed it.

Re-reading the Tahoe-LAFS paper and Tahoe URI pages https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/524.pdf https://tahoe-lafs.readthedocs.io/en/tahoe-lafs-1.12.1/specifications/uri.html

Glad I did, found several things I needed to fix or improve for the #Spritely Crystal demo
