See the page - Interviewing @kentpitman Live in less than 23 hours about his writing of the CREF editor tagging/hyperlinking/answer-generating (kind of) in the 80s. Links to Kent's thread on the page.
The SDF Mastodon is down can cannot be expected to recover before the show. PLEASE boost this one for visibility, and Kent's thread (and add questions/comments to address there).
@sacha CREF was made using the Zwei emacs substrate. Would you mind boosting for the #emacs crowd?
@nosrednayduj would it be possible for you to hang out in the interview as well?
Live interview going live in about an hour in the future-toot (on the completely empty 'new official show mastodon' @screwlisp@gamerplus.org ) https://gamerplus.org/@screwlisp/114502785984224758
also the banner is #unix_surrealism by @prahou
@screwlisp wait, what? I suppose I'll be available tomorrow evening and had planned to listen. Dunno what usefulness I can contribute. I'm a USER not an IMPLEMENTOR. Of emacs or zmacs or zwei (oh my)
@nosrednayduj
See, this is why we need an interview about what CREF was!
