In other, totally irrelevant news, I forked oh-my-zsh, converted it to Darcs, and pulled out a bunch of ricer crap. (seriously, nobody needs 100-plus themes sitting around in their system). If you use zsh, give it a try.

So, I haven't really talked about $WORK here in a while.

It's pretty great. I'm doing all kinds of arcane things; the code base at work is a network stack, written in C, with a tcl interpreter embedded inside. It's vaguely architected in terms of The Hudsucker Proxy, a film by the Coen Brothers. As a consequence, I get to drone on about tcl ( Read more... )

I've gotten IRC mostly nailed down (i should blather about that at some point too), and so now I've been banging on email. Previously I was using sup, which has some crashing issues (revolving around character encodings). I've since moved over to notmuch ( Read more... )

}

I brought some of these issues up in a forum populated by the responsible parties and their user base, and while the responsible parties did not have any questions, some of the users did. Quoted material belongs to said curious user, and my (in some cases, slightly cleaned-up) response follows.

Hello, and today on "shitty-code geek theater" I provide you with some comments I felt compelled to prepare in response to someone saying "go ahead and criticize my code". In a staggering change from previous editions of this show, I'm not actually going to put any of the code here, just the two comments at the head of the file.

(maphash (lambda (a b) (format t "~a => ~a~%" a b)) *hashtable*)Aw hell yeah.
