Josh Grams (aka tathi)

Bit of a programmer, main interests are low-level stuff at the
moment, though there are other things I'd love to experiment with
once I have a basic computing environment that I'm happy with.

I've spent (wasted?) quite a lot of time fooling around with the
design of Forth systems.  I've written many partial/experimental
forth systems of my own, ported <lIsForth<> to PPC Linux, and
disassembled the 11/05 <lcolorForth<> binary to somewhat commented
assembly language source code for nasm.  I'm also fairly familiar
with the guts of <lRetroForth<> and have done some digging through
the source for <lgforth<> and <lFICL<>.

So...basically I've spent a lot of time messing about with fringe
systems, but am more and more coming to appreciate the merits of
the standard.  I'm currently (2006-12-08) working on a vi clone
under gforth.  My long-term goal is to have a Forth OS for my G4,
and I feel that having a decent editor is a necessary
prerequisite.

My other main interest at the moment is farming: my family has
always had a substantial garden, has been raising all of our own
poultry (chickens, turkeys, ducks) since 2003, and put in a small
high tunnel (greenhouse) in October 2005.  From August 14th to
November 30th (2006) I was doing an internship at Butternut Valley
Organics up in New York state.  They have chickens for meat and
eggs, dairy goats (Saanens), and a 10 acre market garden.

I feel that farming (like computers) provides a neverending
challenge to get things just right; and it certainly keeps you in
good shape. And of course you get food that's better than anything
you can buy.  So the current plan is to try and get enough money
together to start a small farm of my own.
