👉 "Real-Time History: Engaging with #LivingArchives and Temporal Multiplicities." After a great start yesterday, the conference resumes with a workshop on web archives and the Archives Research Compute Hub by Karl Blumenthal.
Thrilled that I will be able to present my paper "Weaving Time: Hypertextual Historiography in the Age of Living Archives" later in the afternoon.

The Medley Interlisp Project

The NoteCards hypermedia system was developed in Interlisp at Xerox PARC by @fghalasz Frank Halasz, Tom Moran, and Randy Trigg. In this 1985 videotape Moran introduced the main concepts of NoteCards, and Halasz demonstrated how to use the system to organize notes and sources for writing a research paper.

Anyone knows why the HTML versions of IETF RFCs are insisting on replicating the (unnecessary) page breaks from the plain text version? Also apart from being able to jump to bibliography and to document sections from the TOC, why aren't the HTML versions making proper use of internal hyperlinking? Feels like a grand missed opportunity to make these specs a lot more usable? Especially hard to use when trying to implement vs just using an RFC for a quick consult/check...

@doriantaylor 🧵Intertwingler

For those who came in late:

“In­ter­tw­ing­ler was designed primarily as a substrate for communicating complex topics. It’s made to maximize linking between small pieces of information, in a style called dense hypermedia. This helps you gain comprehension while only having to read the parts you need to.

To achieve this effect… links managed by In­ter­tw­ing­ler never break.”

Born 100 Years Ago Today

“By ‘augmenting human intellect’ we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems.” — Douglas Engelbart (1962)

An essay on Engelbart’s motivation, with links to video and other historical sources on his life and work.

A web page essay on ‘What Motivates Doug Engelbart’ starting with a long quote from Engelbart’s 1962 ‘Augmenting Human Intellect’ report. By "augmenting human intellect" we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems. Increased capability in this respect is taken to mean a mixture of the following: more-rapid comprehension, better comprehension, the possibility of gaining a useful degree of comprehension in a situation that previously was too complex, speedier solutions, better solutions, and the possibility of finding solutions to problems that before seemed insoluble. And by "complex situations" we include the professional problems of diplomats, executives, social scientists, life scientists, physical scientists, attorneys, designers--whether the problem situation exists for twenty minutes or twenty years. We do not speak of isolated clever tricks that help in particular situations. We refer to a way of life in an integrated domain where hunches, cut-and-try, intangibles, and the human "feel for a situation" usefully co-exist with powerful concepts, streamlined terminology and notation, sophisticated methods, and high-powered electronic aids. 1a1 Quote from Doug Engelbart Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework.

One of the yet-unexplored features of XTXT is its potential to multiplex multiple HTTP connections over a single serial link—without relying on TCP/IP.

In the past, we had solutions like PPP (and later PPPoE), which allowed network-layer communication over point-to-point connections. But those were fundamentally data link layer protocols, operating at a lower level in the OSI model.

XTXT, on the other hand, can be thought of as an application-layer alternative for achieving similar multiplexing, but with much lighter networking demands. It’s designed to work seamlessly on smaller systems by simply exchanging text streams—no need for OSI compliance or the overhead of traditional networking stacks.

With XTXT, all you need is the ability to send and receive structured text. And most computers, even very old ones can do that. The simplicity is the beauty.

XTXT: count-frames: A very simple routine that counts the number of frames in a multiplexed text file.
Implemented for:

ZX Spectrum +3 - Zilog Z80

I did more work on XTXT, adding some very simple code examples in other languages: C, Assembler (Z80 and 8086), Pascal, Go, Python, Ruby, Swift.
github.com/ha1tch/xtxt/tree/ma
(the old and dirty Ruby samples are still available under the ruby.old directory, until we have newer and better ones)

Notably, the Z80 Assembler version of the most basic example compiles to a binary of just under 70 bytes. I used PASMO to assemble it. (if you need to compile Pasmo itself from source like I did on Apple M1/arm64, ensure that you add -std=c++17 to the CXXFLAGS variable in the generated Makefile)
