Went to uni, configured some servers and worked somewhat. Today was a good day.

I went to my parents where my kids are and configured my server some more. Couldn't get INN news server running. guest account has been cancelled and I programmed some more on my clisp mailing list system. The main place of my Rogue Treaty is now at http://soft.vub.ac.be/~jceuppen/roguehacker/

I've updated it some more. Need to do research on Tuesday for school.

I am running a server again. soft29.vub.ac.be becomes neptune.vub.ac.be soon, login guest pass guest. G4 second edition, running debian powerpc linux (stable.)

hacked on bubblepopd, a POP server ripped from freecode.com.

Our admin didn't want any ports open on his mac pro so I switched to the student server as a PhD, which is (luckily) adminned with my friend Dirk. Oh well, shit happens.

Out to the club tonight for campaigning Warhammer Fantasy. Go Chaos Warriors!

I tried to put exim4 in a non-root system. Didn't work, no MTA daemons to play with :-(

I then got into ftp.porcupine.org and d/l some pub/security, after putting a vdpop3d daemon to work, cannot read config file. That's for tomorrw morning.

I also need to get 1 tooth pulled out because it is jamming my system.

Went out tp the bar cafe "De Weerelt" in Leuven, without a laptop, drank some jupilers. Started to write elisp email cient. Enrolled for warhammer campaign at the local club, started out a Vampire Counts army.

I got the core duo working under latest dist-upgraded ubuntu. The debian package system from my old debian days comes into work perfectly. I drank some Westmalle on saturday and watched the movie "hero wanted", don't know how it went, fell to sleep halfway. I'm on irc again. freenode on macos x , good people. I need to go out more instead of drinking alone, then again duty calls.

I am reading : "Lisp Lore : a guide to programming the Lisp Machine" and "tutorial : computer graphics", 2nd edition which is about the 1950s and onward CRTs. Lisp Lore has "Fun and games" topics pointed out to the hacker dictionary of GLS (Guy. L. Steele.)

They are both books with lots of hack value as you can see.

I am also trying out Lisp for writing a gmail mail client in emacs, I found http://weitz.de/drakma/
to be a good lisp program. It is a http client and is slower than most of my programs.

I rearrranged the furniture so I could get 4 boxes on my desks. I live in a studio so I managed to get about 3 meters of desk so I have my netbook, macbook and old leopard imac. Tommorrow dad brings a core duo of 2 years old and I can desktopify some ember clients. I recently joined the worldforge.org crew, to work on some software.

Files are at http://code.google.com/p/ghack downloads with -ios suffix, my git broke so no updates there.

I am writing (again) on my Rogue Treaty, it is not subtle nor for very young persons but you can see for yourself here :

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/100062163/rogue.html

It will be updated regularly if I find the time.

This morning I got if clauses without else clauses in arm-lisp working.

Saturday, March 2, 2013

nested clauses work now in arm-lisp, better think first. Got a bit tired this afternoon bu got in 5 hours of hacking. I also need to inventarise my electronics. Posted some things on Usenet this week, search for Fyndhorn Elder or Elvish Healer if you want to find out. slrn and trn time out on dotsrc.org Usenet portal site, so I have to use googlegroups now, I will install AquaEMacs for GNUS and rewriting my .emacs which I lost. -- FH
