PROGRAMMING : Couple of things
OK, read a couple of articles today.
First was on the Nature of the Nature of Order. Sort of a summary of patterns as observed by the Architect who popularised the idea from the point of view of a computer scientist. Well it was a bit beyond me, I really think I need the full thing as the summary just didn't give enough information.
Second was a paper all about Acme, a text editor/window manager thingy a bit like Oberon/CAT designed to be an ultra powerful, mouse driven editor for programmers. Looks kinda cool, but I have to admit that since I am not a command line obsessor I haven't warmed to the idea of 'all your commands are text, just select and execute' even save, cut, paste and so on. I'd really like to have a go, but don't ahve a linux machine at the moment so I can't :(
