i found yet another reason to be angry at the python packaging ecosystem. i'm trying to research making poetry with twine and both "poetry" and "twine" are python packaging tools filling up the search results

I am yet but a babby in the realm of software preservation but here is my first real contribution: The World of Tarot, some DOS tarot card software made in 1992 in a suburb of Chicago.

I found this at a Vintage Computer Fest Midwest event and now it's up on the archive and runnable in browser!

before you in the half lit room sits a beast. it is a small beast and so darkly coated you almost missed it there in the corner. it strains at its wall tether. it is flapping its hard little mouth. tick. tack. tick. tack. it wants to be fed from the messy pile just inches away from its mewling face. will you reach into the pile and feed this thing a magnetic morsel? will it go down easy?

tapes, tonight, 5:30p pacific

pre show, feature, post show

we bought some 80s Japanese MSX magazines at VCFMW and I was so intrigued by a program listing for a program called BALLS (ボールズ) that I typed the impenetrable wad of MSX BASIC into a web based emulator. it worked!!!!!!!!! sort of!!!!!!!!!!! i'm too tired to fix the bug in line 6!!! remembering that I had to type my own line numbers in BASIC was a clutch realization. this was so gratifying.

ANNOUNCE!

I'm declaring my new cut-up poetry authoring tool, Trunkless, released.

It is an attempt to reproduce the feeling of re-arranging cut-up slips of paper to make poetry in a world where your table possesses effectively infinite area and you have a billion slips of paper to sift through.

https://tilde.town/~vilmibm/blog/#announcing-trunkless

The blog post explains how to use the tool as well as its background and development.

If you just want to get right to it: https://trunkless.tilde.town .
