2023-07-05 08:52:03 <drakonis    > its probably going to get reposted on hn by someone that runs a bot that mirrors lobsters submissions to hn
2023-07-05 08:53:14 <crc         > that'd be fine
2023-07-05 08:53:32 <drakonis    > also i saw that you're doing some videos?
2023-07-05 08:54:24 <drakonis    > also zines are graet
2023-07-05 08:54:26 <drakonis    > great
2023-07-05 08:54:32 <drakonis    > alternatively i can send you an invite to lobsters
2023-07-05 08:55:19 <crc         > I have a lobsters account, I've not submitted anything to it though
2023-07-05 08:55:32 <drakonis    > ah, fair enough.
2023-07-05 08:56:35 <crc         > video work is ongoing; I'm still working on scripts for the initial few, and my sons & I are getting familiar with recording audio and editing short test pieces.

2023-07-05 09:27:44 <crc         > re: zine - arland & I were actually talking about this on Sunday; it's definitely something I'm interested in doing.
2023-07-05 15:05:16 <crc         > Small update on Casket:
2023-07-05 15:05:21 <crc         > as part of this, I'm adding a few new file: words for reading & writing larger chunks (with the VM doing the byte to cell conversions)
2023-07-05 15:06:44 <crc         > Doing this is going to save considerable time. I've finished testing reads, and on a 800k file, it takes about 0.08s with the new words compared to 25.1s for the old character at a time approach.
2023-07-05 15:08:26 <crc         > I expect to commit file:read/bytes and file:write/bytes either tomorrow or Friday, then I should be able to finish updating Casket to use these over the weekend.
2023-07-05 15:09:12 <crc         > I'll also be updating the Atua gopher server to use these.
