  • I was interviewed again on Screwtape (an AnonrRadio program powered by SDF):
  • * Online archive of the interview:
  • https://archives.anonradio.net/202511050000_screwtape.mp3
  • * Copy of the interview on my gopherhole, in here:
  • gopher://gopher.someodd.zip/1/assets/posts/screwtape-interview-2025-11-04/
  • Some topics covered:
  • * Writing gopher apps easily with Venusia, porting software to Gopher
  • * My Gopherspace RPG[1]
  • * Haskell and Lisp programming languages
  • * How the people watching the show comment via a MUD (think: adventure game),
  • which also has a built-in Gopher browser!
  • * Sentimental tech: tech as craft, art, intimacy with systems, and my upcoming
  • manifesto/treatise/article, "we need to make tech into something warmer than
  • just bits."
  • * Gopher, FTP history
  • * The logic of Gopher
  • * I talked about Category Theory (I'm no expert) and... MONADS.
