It's June, so I've got my Javastation off the shelf for the first time in a couple of decades. This is a Javastation Krups, with 100MHz sparc, sold as a diskless workstation. I never realised it had a PPP ROM boot in! Anyway, I should get on and set up networking and a boot server.
(Note: the plastic on the clips on the doors is fragile, 2 just pinged off on me)

i will fully admit i did not expect to be fighting the borrow checker just to pack two widgets into a box.
this may also be baby's last rust program.

in reply to Steven Deobald • • •sigh, I think the way people expect GTK callbacks to work, versus the way Rust wants to think about memory ownership, is very much at odds. I hate the clone!() macro so much.
I think the solution is unidirectional data flow and functional reactive blah blah blah... as per my GUADEC talk :)
