The Neo-Babbage Files

I’ve been playing with terminal emulators again for a while.

This was meant to be a shortish bit on a couple of points on a decent IRC (Internet Relay Chat) set-up, including: some sort of persistence (a “bouncer” or the always-connected server) use with some sort of IRC client in Emacs some sort of reasonable mobi…

I’m not putting this in the lambda-calculus series, though it touches on issues from the last post in the series, but specifically issues of recursion.

From the previous entry in this series, one of the things of note in discussing the nature of the connections between LISP and (the) lambda calculus was John McCarthy’s concern about recursion and higher-order functions.

The first of a series of envisioned blog posts on lambda calculus, and Lisp.

(Or, what if you can’t just click the bad thing with the skull until it dies?)

My main use of Emacs on Android (via Termux) is to be able to access and add to my Org-roam library of notes.

In a continuing series of, er, terminal-related posts, a look at some features of a subset of terminal emulators on Linux.

Continued work on fooling Emacs into behaving like a drop-down console (i.e.

On a new-to-me ThinkPad T440p, I’ve had the worst time with the TrackPoint.

A new version of Equake, the drop-down “terminal emulator” for Emacs, should be hitting Melpa shortly.

Following on the last post Lisp Common Lisp: … Clojure: slack Racket: slack

This expands on a feature I included in the setup for using Org-roam on Android/LineageOS in the last post, specifically automatically adding properties to newly created Org-roam files.

I’ve been using the note-taking Zettelkasten-ish Org-roam system for a few months and it’s been very useful to me, just as a low-friction way of making more notes and easily finding and/or (re)discovering notes that I’ve made.
