My Discourse System (MDS)

I wrote this as a comment on Doc's blog.

Doc, I’m working on a discourse system that works better than comments, imho. One thing it does is lets me use the full fidelity of the web instead of forcing me to type in yet another Inadequate Text Box (ITB) with none of the features of my blog editor.

I’m working on a Unified Text Theory (UTT) for the web. Instead of scattering Stupid Little Text Boxes (SLTBs) all over creation, let’s come up with a nice text router, that means our writing can be in one place, but through the magic of pointers, can appear to be in many places. (Actually there's nothing magical about it, pointers are very basic computer technology, when I learned to program on a PDP-11 in 1977 it very much had pointers.)

It’s mostly a matter of GOST (an acronym for Getting Our Shit Together).

All this is a preamble to say that my comment on your post can be read here.

It’s also on scripting.com.

See how that works. You can’t really tell where it is, but if I make a change to it, somehow the change appears everywhere.

And I’m using my favorite editor to write. Not the dinky one provided by the web browser.

And of course this should be on my blog too. Damn. I’m still doing it.
