Now, we're truly back in Desolation Sound.

Beautiful time to raise the anchor, just as the fog is starting to recede.

Someone requested a step-by-step evaluation button in the #uxn playground so they can use it to see the stack transformations one at a time.

Made a two-players implementation of Pong in 630 bytes to see how small I could make it.

Added UTF-8's multi-byte support to a text editor today, I've always been scared to get into it, it looked messy and confusing at a distance. But the design makes it pretty accessible, for even such a small system as uxn.

The rule is pretty simple:

- starting bytes are 11xx xxxx
- continuation bytes are 10xx xxxx

The entire implementation to handle multi-byte characters is a mere 30ish bytes long.

> If and when the mic goes to someone and the dreaded “It’s not really a question, more of a comment…” is uttered – this is what you do: kill the roving mic (if there is one), or really prepare to speak up and over, and say with all the authority you can muster “Thank you, we’re taking questions at the moment, but if we have time left after the questions, I’ll open the floor for comments. Now, who has the next question?”
