ACTION is trying to recall the name of a rather simple graphics protocol but is failing

2023-12-20 10:12:08 <GeDaMo      > Zarutian_iPad: what can you remember about it?
2023-12-20 10:12:27 <user51      > KipIngram: 'Cooking her contribution' -- that sounds like pregnancy, but for a split second I thought it was 'cooking her children' :P
2023-12-20 10:12:50 <user51      > I thought it was an idiom, but seems like it's not.
2023-12-20 10:13:22 <GeDaMo      > I'm assuming it's a variation of "bun in the oven"
2023-12-20 10:14:44 <user51      > Worth two in the bush!
2023-12-20 10:31:45 <unjust      > Zarutian_iPad: sixel?
2023-12-20 10:37:00 <crc         > sixels are the first thing that comes to my mind as well
2023-12-20 10:37:19 <crc         > though I'm not sure I'd call them a protocol
2023-12-20 11:31:55 <Zarutian_iPad> not sixels, I know of those
2023-12-20 11:32:18 <Zarutian_iPad> also know of NAPLPS, RipScrip, and ReGIS
2023-12-20 11:32:38 <Zarutian_iPad> no not any of those but much simpler
2023-12-20 11:40:14 <unjust      > i'm interested to hear what it is when you remember it
2023-12-20 11:42:06 <Zarutian_iPad> could it be stdg?
2023-12-20 11:43:22 <Zarutian_iPad> https://crates.io/crates/stdg/0.2.0
2023-12-20 11:43:59 <Zarutian_iPad> yebb its that
2023-12-20 11:47:54 <Zarutian_iPad> though for graphical user interface stuff in bash and such I prefer tcl/ttk
2023-12-20 11:48:37 <unjust      > is stdg a rust alternative for logo?
2023-12-20 11:49:21 <Zarutian_iPad> I do not think so, more of an textual canvas drawing thing
2023-12-20 11:50:02 <thrig       > what a useless page. maybe it requires javascript?
2023-12-20 11:52:04 <GeDaMo      > https://github.com/calebwin/stdg
2023-12-20 11:54:57 <Zarutian_iPad> hmm... a project idea, write an stdg to sixels and ansi escape sequences (to query for mouse) in a forth
2023-12-20 12:09:07 <Zarutian_iPad> brb
2023-12-20 12:54:59 <KipIngram   > user51:  :-| Sorry about that.  Definitely a pregnancy pun.  She's very much in the "cute pregnant lady" stage right now.
2023-12-20 12:57:09 <KipIngram   > The kitty terminal emulator has a graphics system wired into it.  It even gives you a way to trickle "pieces" of an image over slowly, and then when it's all delivered can command it to be displayed, etc.
2023-12-20 12:57:28 <KipIngram   > The client will keep a little library of images.
2023-12-20 14:25:38 <kws         > what free forth interpreter for Windows is recommended? swiftforth? looks like I'd need to build gforth from source
2023-12-20 14:35:54 <thrig       > or I guess you could put a linux on a modern windows?
2023-12-20 14:46:19 <kws         > I'd like to use windows APIs if possible
2023-12-20 14:47:01 <unjust      > most recent precompiled windows version of gforth that google would spit out: https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Snapshots/0.7.9_20200709/gforth-0.7.9_20200709.exe
2023-12-20 14:48:59 <unjust      > snapshot directories where YYYYMMDD > 20200709 might be worth looking at if you're desperate
2023-12-20 14:51:48 <kws         > so the answer is gforth?
2023-12-20 14:52:02 <kws         > if that's the case I'll just attempt to build it from the latest release
2023-12-20 14:52:22 <unjust      > i don't use windows, so i can't answer that
2023-12-20 14:52:50 <kws         > I see, from what I can tell from the manual gforth has no networking capabilities should I just use the ffi in that case?
2023-12-20 14:54:06 <unjust      > yes
2023-12-20 14:55:08 <unjust      > example @ https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/cvsweb/cgi-bin/cvsweb/gforth/unix/socket.fs?rev=1.37;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup;sortby=date;f=h
2023-12-20 14:55:35 <kws         > thank you
2023-12-20 14:55:36 <unjust      > or $PREFIX/share/$VERSION/unix/socket.fs if you have it installed
2023-12-20 15:19:18 <slacko_user13052> @KipIngram grats
2023-12-20 15:19:57 <slacko_user13052> @kws If you are doing something network heavy you might want to avoid windows.
2023-12-20 15:20:50 <slacko_user13052> I use windows for plenty of stuff... but not networking. If this is some sort of corporate vpn / intranet thing, that is obviously different.
2023-12-20 15:22:34 <slacko_user13052> If you need windows, bur /not/ net activity, XP is actually still a nice host system for various things, including stuff like win32forth.
2023-12-20 15:23:59 <thrig       > but not security patches
2023-12-20 15:24:32 <slacko_user13052> sure - hence my saying to not use it on a network
2023-12-20 15:27:29 <slacko_user13052> In case anyone isn't aware, there are corporate versions of xp that are self authenticating, and never need to touch a network.
