I'm Back
I v been retired since November of 2020, when my programming muse left, and I retired. I didn t even know I had a programming muse until it left. I m back. Working on Arbitrage.wtf , a project to find arbitrage in crypto trades, a way to make risk-free money by trading crypto currency. I d love to rewrite Lisplog in Elm, and add markdown, but I doubt I ll get to it before I shuffle off to buffalo.
Mammudeck
I retired in November of 2020, because my brain wasn t working. I sat in front of my computer, but nothing happened. Since I m entirely reliant on my muse to write code, my mother had just died and left me some money, and my social security was enough to live on, I decided to retire. Two years later, my brain has come back, and I m writing code every day. Elm code, for my Mammudeck web…
Kindelia
The Kindelia Foundation is Victor Taelin s creation, supporting the HVM (High-order Virtual Machine) runtime, the Kind2 language built on top of it, and their ecosystem.

I haven t yet played with it,…

Why Elm?
An AngularJS user in the Fediverse asked me to sell Elm to him. This is my first attempt. I have never used AngularJS or any other JS framework besides jQuery, so I m operating from a quick perusal of the Angular web site , making my comparisons mostly invalid. Caveats First off, you re going to miss a lot of Angular s features with Elm. Elm has a functional flavor to it, not the templatey feel of…
OAuth2 and Mastodon
This page explains my thinking of doing OAuth2 authorization for an Elm web frontend talking to a Mastodon API backend. The OAuth2 Authorization Code Grant Flow Dance OAuth2 has a number of authentication methods. For end users, using web apps, the Authorization Code Grant Flow is common. It lets the user authenticate with the service she s using, such that the client code never sees her userid or…
ZAP Meme
https://zapmeme.com is a meme maker written in Elm. It s open source, with a link at the bottom of the page. It uses <svg> to layout the meme, and converts to JPEG or PNG for saving. It stores meme and images (as data:// URLs) in your browser s localStorage database. They may be exported as JSON and imported into another browser.
stackoverflow April Fools 2019
For April Fools Day, 2019, stackoverflow put fairy dust on every question page, and had a definite retro look. I saved the fairy dust, and the ASCII art HTML comment at lisplog.org/20190401 . Also see Announcing the Stack Overflow Time Machine .
