2024-05-28 00:26:00 <KipIngram   > I plan to have each vocabulary independently loadable / unloadable, and I'm interested in some sort of dynamic loading and unloading of "support" stuff.
2024-05-28 00:26:34 <KipIngram   > You know how in Linux you can find yourself unable to install an app because it wants an earlier version of a library you have a later version for?
2024-05-28 00:27:08 <KipIngram   > I want to dodge that problem - I want to be able to have multiple extant versions of things, and code that needs one of them can call for the "latest" version or for some particular range of versions, or whatever.

2024-05-28 00:29:30 <KipIngram   > So, ideally, if I modify a "library," I'd also modify all the things that use it if necessary.  But until I got that done the unmodified stuff could still "get at" the older version.  That would require compiling both versions into my dictionary, but it would get me by until I brought everything up to date.
2024-05-28 00:30:43 <KipIngram   > And somehow I'd have it able to give me a report of all the apps that were currently running which were forcing older versions of stuff into the system.  My "list of things to fix."

2024-05-28 16:39:02 <Zarutian_iPad> archive.org is still being ddosed?
2024-05-28 16:39:09 <GeDaMo      > Seems so
