Lojban programming language

I want to chat with my computer. (Should really be under "AI").

 

Improving Lojban

le nu galfi la lojban cu vajni mi le zo'u cumki

 

Esperanto

Mi estas comensanto de Esperanto.

 

Block-based virtual machine

Smalltalk VM design idea that scales to terabyte images (or more?), very concurrent GC, leaves unused bits of the image on the disk. A VM like this would make it practical to store stuff in the image rather than an OODB. I won't be thinking about making this until I need it.

 

Hardware toys

Who needs more than 200MHz?

 

Parallel processing

 The performance envelope has moved from making a single CPU go faster to having multiple cores or multiple CPUs.

 

Improving Smalltalk

Ideas only.

 

TableModel

Most database applications follow the same pattern. Most screens have a list of things which can be edited. The TableModel is a OO pattern / library which makes that easier.

 

Human computer interaction

My theories

 

Working in a Cooperative

This probably exists, but I'm interested in a business structure where employees are responsible for their own fortunes.

 

 

The Matrix

The movie as it should have been.

 

Particle simulations

TextEditorFeatures - features I want in a text editor / IDE.

 

Customer Service

Every IT professional needs to look after his customer.

 

Gumeric numbers

For those times when "naiwi silu" is easier to remember, read and type than 0x75E29A64.

 

Music

 

The Thummer is a MIDI controller with a particularly interesting key layout. Make it work under Linux using your QWERTY keyboard.

http://home.stny.rr.com/peverett/gadget.html made himself one, as did http://musicscienceguy.vox.com/.

 

The Thummer uses a key layout also known as the "Hayden system" or the "Wicki system". http://www.concertina.com/hayden-duet/

 

This keyboard layout has been patented repeatedly! http://www.concertina.com/gaskins/wicki/index.htm.

 

Fully Privatised Country

A thought experiment.
