16:28:51 <crc> I removed bytes.rx and replaced it with a new bad.rx (byte-addressing) [these are library changes]

16:52:08 <crc> hi roarde
16:52:22 <roarde> hi crc
17:00:22 <crc> I'm working on the replacement for bytes.rx currently
17:01:29 <roarde> Seems it would be one of the more useful libs to several.
17:03:27 <roarde> I've pretty much figured out what I'll be doing with computers
17:04:17 <crc> what?
17:04:20 <roarde> Only two things not directly related to Retro: Finally found a word processor; will tailor it to my machine.
17:05:09 <roarde> Decided to stick with VectorLinux, so I'll be doing a lot of testing and some minor sh coding and docs when Light 7 is released for test.
17:05:32 <roarde> As for Retro: Derive an extremely small forth from it.
17:06:13 <roarde> Main desideratum is easy retargeting to various hardware, usually without existing compiler.
17:07:05 <roarde> Write a Retro in the new forth (mostly copying the code that's there already)
17:07:30 <roarde> Write the new forth in Retro (a different animal entirely)
17:08:08 <roarde> The new forth (arforth?) will be natively graphical wherever that can be done.
17:08:38 <roarde> It'll take me an eternity.
17:09:13 <roarde>  . . . and that's just to get enough of a start for someone(s) else to jump in if they wish.
17:10:11 * crc wishes he had more spare time... hopefully soon...
17:10:34 <roarde> Oh yeah, forgot the easy part:
17:11:28 <roarde> Rewrite whatever appropriate part of the new forth (think "vm") in silicon.
17:12:26 <roarde> Why would you have more spare time maybe soon? Sounds ominous.
17:13:29 <crc> I've been working six days a week, every week, since the year started. I'll begin having 2-3 saturdays a month off starting next month. (my choice; still doing 50-53 hours in a five day week)
17:14:06 <crc> initial stab at packing/unpacking strings using the new vocabulary: http://rx-core.org/dev/incision/cut/8
17:15:07 <roarde> So, not more time, just more time at once?
17:16:00 <crc> it'll give me 10-15 more free hours a month
17:17:33 <roarde> Good deal. Doesn't sound like much, but it is if you've not had those hours lately.
17:19:34 <roarde> just looked at today's chanlog. "bad.rx". Only way to make the name better would be more morbidity, somehow :P
17:23:31 <crc> like my web apps? corpse, rancid, incision? or the debugger (autopsy)?
17:24:29 <roarde> that's the kind of trend I was thinking of; wouldn't go further towards exhausting that territory for this, tho; just leave it "bad"
17:24:45 <crc> ok
17:25:25 <crc> I was careful to specify that bytes are 8 bits in the documentation, just to avoid any possible confusion
17:31:22 <roarde> Know if anyone's done audio work with or for Retro?
17:31:31 <crc> nothing I'm aware of
17:31:36 <roarde> k
