Trying to make MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) suck less. Also working on a tool to make scientific collaboration easier.
How are you trying to make it suck less? (I'm just curious: recently, I had three MRI scans while I was in hospital).

#182I am doing something slightly weird. (I can talk about this on HN, but I am keeping it quiet otherwise). I read an article on Slashdot about John Carmack where he said, (emphasis mine) " After I took the job at Softdisk, I was happy. I was programming, or reading about programming, or talking about programming, almost every waking hour . It turned out that a $27k salary was enough that I could buy all the books and p…
Why Forth?

#183Justin.tv. Who would have guessed that 2.5 years after putting a camera on Justin's head, we'd still be going strong? I was really expecting more of a blaze of glory followed by immediate failure, not a sustainable business.
Funny, how that is turning out, eh? What were your thoughts when you started kiko -- was it the thought of a sustainable business?

1886 is short. Anyone else surprised?
Read the source code for arc.arc, srv.arc and news.arc, and you'll probably learn something new about programming. I did, at any rate. Apparently PG isn't just some investor who can't hack... :^)
Care to give some examples of things you learned?

I can't answer for plinkplonk but my guess is, for CS learning purposes, Forth paired with Lisp is a combination like pizza and beer (as opposed to pizza and sandwich).

#187Working full time on a new version of http://xp-dev.com/ - the new platform should be out in a few weeks and should do everything that everyone has been asking for (will be easier to use as well). Git hosting will be coming up as well (Mercurial later on).
After the recent debacle with stolen code and what not (took my off for a week), I'm back on full steam working on it, and having fun! :)
(Nice to read what everyone else has been up to. There's actually quite a lot of interesting projects/products being worked on here).

10,000 lines of forth is going to be quite the monumental task, forth is very 'small'.

speaking for myself, the idea that everything has an id from the same range and that the context figures out how to use that id was a neat thing. I'd have split it up into several structures simply because that seems to make the most sense but this works well and in fact makes the code very compact.
Articles, comments it's all the same.
