nemorathwald: (Matt 4)
We got on the road a little after midnight. Now we are at a rest station with free open WiFi at the Iowa/Nebraska border.

David Adams is my favorite person most days, due to the laptop he gave me, and today is especially so. It has been nearly a year since I last used InForm, and I have resumed my efforts in it on the laptop in the car, between driving, and naps. InForm is a wonderful program in which you can write your own Interactive Fiction, i.e. text adventures. For ease of use, quality documentation, almost supernaturally helpful error messages, InForm might be my favorite piece of software ever. The source code of InForm is a subset of English. I am continuing to gain proficiency in it to enhance SimPenguicon, my gargantuan project of unmanageable scale. Fortunately today I invented a new, much smaller Interactive Fiction that I can actually finish.

While my thoughts are on traveling: the convention I would be willing to travel to is any convention that gives me an Interactive Fiction workshop led by Graham Nelson, Emily Short, and Andrew Plotkin. I must give thought and investigation to whether their fans are interested in organizing such an event with me.
