Donsol, released on Itch.io! Legs, we made a last minute gizmo for Catjam 2026. Rabbit Waves, finished a page about One-time Pads. Rejoice, discovered infinity. Tote, added support for I/O. Korokobot, added a page on Processing Analog Art. We're disheartened to see a lot of the organization for direct action done on platforms that spy on its users, we've often talked about how it would be worthwhile to offer basic cryptography know-how to our friends, and so for a second month now, we're releasing a new Rabbit Waves page on how to encrypt and decrypt messages, this time using One-Time Pads. Ten years after the original release of Donsol, we decided to make a new version with animated sprites and a proper in-game manual as a definitive release, and it's finally out and available directly in the browser or your favourite Uxn emulator! Devine has been invited to Oredev 2026 in Sweden to talk about software archival, because of it this month was spent making a lot of slides and talk notes. As usual, we'll share the full transcription after the conference. Book Club: We read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, and we are still re-reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. August 2026 Wiki, updated various sections in solar cooking experiment. Donsol, putting some final touches to the new release. Hakum, completed Recharge. Rabbit Waves, added an image for the 404 page, completed a new comic page, and finished a page about Pen and Paper Ciphers. GrimGrains, published a new recipe: Curried Lentil Rice Loaf. Updated the section about Weck jars. Win7, a little file manager that looks just like the Macintosh windowing system. POP-2, trying to resurrect a ALGOL language from the 70s. In comparison to the past few months spent mostly on our own, we've had a very social August. It seems our friends made it up north all at the same time, it has been nice to run into familiar faces, meet some new ones, and fill our days wandering in the woods catching up on the time we spent apart. But, we really ought to start thinking about sailing back south ourselves soon. This month has been about languages and coded messages, how to encode a message, how to transmit them, what if the signal is noisy, how much of this can be done practically with just pen & paper. We've added a new page to Rabbit Waves to talk about just that, covering examples from history and some practical exercises that can be done by anyone. Pulling on the thread of auxiliary language, Devine made an open call to invite anyone writing Concatenative programs to see if they would be willing to implement a POP-2 compiler for their own language. The idea is to see if this mostly dead language from the 70s could be revived as a language of exchange between the different insular Catlang dialects. Book Club: We are rereading Dracula by Bram Stoker and Paradise Lost by John Milton. July 2026 Wiki, updated ipad media station and solar cooking experiment. Added new information for roscoe bay. Hakum, started a new comic sequence called Recharge, and re-did the second part of Chase. Yufo, made improvements to our 2022 Virtual Pet Jam game Yufo, it is now playable in the browser on itch.io. GrimGrains, added a recipe for soybean coffee, a very good coffee alternative. Thousand Rooms, released a Latin Sin Flexion version. This month we participated in Catjam 2026 and released a humble point-and-click called Lepore Express Line. It features many cameos from all our other projects, maybe you can recognize a few? It's written in Uxntal, a concatenative assembly language for a 16-bit ordinator. Have a look at the source. Devine drew the backgrounds, while Rek drew the characters and foreground elements. It's been a while since we've collaborated on an illustration. Internet on this part of the coast continues to be unreliable, the signal floats in and out of the anchorage, varying in strength, often gone entirely for days. When hoisting the hotspot aloft doesn't work, we stand at the top of mountains in knee-high ferns, laptops in hand, ants crawling up our calves, bald eagles circling above, waiting for the upload to complete. Progress is good, but then it halts at 85%. Come on, you can do it. A mosquito bit me. It's not all for naught, we got the latest weather report on Lynx, responded to a friend's text message, downloaded some emails, pushed changes to a few repositories. We call them summer projects, because it seems like only the pace of long days without distractions allows for us to dedicate time to them. These projects have very little extrinsic motivation, it's just what we default to when we're left to our own devices. For Rek, it's drawing comics. For Devine, that takes the shape of linguistic experiments, for weeks now Devine has been expanding on the work of Giuseppe Peano who was fascinated by the idea of encoding logic for preservation and communication. Giuseppe dedicated lengths of his life to auxiliary languages to make his mathematical ideas accessible across language barriers; he might have been inspired by today's difficulty of replicating software proofs and crumbling toolchains. Devine has been trying to formalize into BNF what Peano left behind about Latino Sine Flexione, and expanding on his experiments with the axioms of natural numbers. Book Club: We read The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison, Ulysses by James Joyce and Kafka's Metamorphosis. June 2026 Wiki, we had a few things fail this month, see: solar cooking experiment, and ipad media station. Also, the pressure sprayer that we use as an outdoor shower and to rinse dishes has developed a crack in its body, we smothered the gaps with big globs of LifeCalk(this quick fix has held so far). No Bears None, corrected some errors in the text, and the latest epub version will now display the cover. Rabbit Waves, completed a new comic page, the main character(rabbit) is named Hazy and the gull, Ark. The main page was re-ordered to make more room for the story pages. Colored elements in the comic are clickable and lead to knowledge pages. Hakum, completed a new comic sequence called Tangled. From across glass rectangles, the homba peer at the tiny ship rocked by a violent wake. The hrududu leaves its suffocating, oily embleer as it sails past Dander and Freckle, who glare back, tharn with terror. After journeying northward for a long time, they find a quiet bay where the hrududu dare not come and drop a heavy metal hook over the side. They watch the sun set over liquid silver, knowing the elil to be far away and that before them lie the narn days, endless and warm. They spend delightful hours under the golden radiance of Frith, rowing to the wild woods, wandering its luxurious overgrown trails, occasionally stopping for silflay. When the day wanes, they tell stories under the light of Inlé. • Dander and Freckle weren't super jazzed about using Open Office, due to it being awfully slow and heavy, so they've devised their own little spreadsheet program and for the past year, have used it to keep records of all things Hundred Rabbits. It's called Nebu, and it's got a few little improvements this month! Dander also found time to make a beautiful little image viewer for that strange file format they store the assets for their games in, as well as a program to look at roms' metadata. Freckle spent much of the month immersed in their conworlds, bettering their comic skills. Book Club: We read Tales From Watership Down by Richard Adams and Sea Wolf by Jack London. May 2026 Wiki, documented the installation of Pino's water tank, added thermostat to engine care, and updated woodstove installation. Grimgrains, added a solar-roasted kinako recipe. Uxn, added instructions for validating builds during the bootstrap process. No Bears None, we released a book! Nearly everything else was pushed aside so that we could complete it. In the last few days before our departure, we finished rebuilding our galley cabinet and installed the new water tank. As per usual, we took our bikes apart, filled our bins with fresh produce, stowed away everything, and finally, on May 17th, propelled by a strong tide and a desire to be in a quiet place, Pino flew away from the crowds of Victoria. These days, every morning at 0400, we are awakened by purple martins perched on our lifelines singing their dawn song, after coffee we write, draw, row, wander ashore, and we try to roast new things in the sun, like soy beans. On the 25th, we finally released the first edition of No Bears None for e-readers, a very detailed logbook about our sail from Victoria to Sitka. It's a heavily edited version of the original Victoria to Sitka logbook, with a ton of extra stuff like a 100 drawings, 17 topical chapters and 13 recipes. A big thank you to everyone who has already got their copy! We plan to release a paperback version, either late this year or beginning of 2027. Rek designed the shirt for this year's International Workshop on Plan 9 that happened in Victoria. Devine implemented a vector renderer, which allows us to do beautiful typesetting directly in Uxn. We used that to release two zines this month, one for helping folks who want to break into Interactions Nets, and another one called Fractions Are Everything that invite readers to look at fractions differently. Book Club: We are reading Sailing Back in Time by Maria Coffey, Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey and Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. April 2026 Wiki, documented the replacement of Pino's headstay. Rabbit Waves, added a new page about Ship Lights. Rejoice, a bestiary of multiset combinators. Gaude, but.. in Peano's Latin. Heol, implemented combinatory logic operators. Hakum, added the last page for Sabotage Study.
