Fellow denizens of Ten Forward and the fediverse, I am happy and excited to announce the existence of the official Ten Forward blog.

The first blog post goes into the foundational pillars of this community along with what improvements I am planning to make.

my code 

i contemplated implementing the nintendo switch base32 alphabet in addition to the RFC one and the Crockford one because it is like Crockford but swears and doesn’t sleep (FUCK is valid but ZZZ is not)
