Guestbook

Great website! Very helpful for those who love learning technology.

This is a really nice website with a clean layout. Sharing computing articles is a genius way to get your website noticed and attract readers who genuinely care about the subject. Keep up the great work!

Nice work on the website. I like the clean design. These days, most new websites have pitch-black backgrounds with moving banners that are hard to read. Yours is clean and easy to follow. The articles are very informative too. I really like your website.

Your website is great.

Your website is perfect. Please teach us more on your website.

Hello from Lagos! I want to know more about how to secure email passwords.

Hello from Illinois! Great website!

It is inspiring to see the amazing work. Thanks for such a wonderful website.

I liked your articles. It is good that you working on assembly language programming. Please do keep us informed if you work more on it.

I came across your blog. It is really cool. Keep up the great work!

Hi Susam,

I tried to figure out how to compile a Lisp program using SBCL and finally found the answer on your website.

Thank you very much!

Saw your interesting comments on HN. Visited your profile and found your website. Now going through your nice website.

Loving your clear articles on mathematics, and your elegant website design. Thanks!

I love that your website has a guestbook. :D

Love the guestbook! We need more of these. Makes you feel invited.

Your website is really nice. I love how peaceful its design is, and the articles are really fascinating.

Hello from a random person on the internet!

I came across your Lisp content and have visited the site many times since. Recently I set up a web feed reader and always enjoy seeing your latest post on the feed. Thank you for what you do and know that your output has a long tail of impact for many folks like myself.

Guestbook! What a blast from the past! Love it!

I've been reading your blog since about 2022, when I found the Emfy project. Thanks for the interesting articles and for making them available via your web feed.

I'm glad the guestbook has been revived here. It's exactly what modern websites are missing on the web today.

Found an article from this blog on Hacker News a while ago and immediately subscribed.

What a great idea! The last time I signed a guestbook is a long time ago

I love the idea of a guestbook!

Reclaiming the internet, circa 2002, one guest signature at a time.

Hi! Love the guestbook. I have been implementing my website in CL to implement a guestbook as well. :) Not there yet, but soon ~ ~~

Hi there! I've been thinking about adding a guestbook to my blog and your site inspired me. I'll do it. Thanks!

Great! It's like going back in time before ads, bots, and tracking took over the internet. :)

This is a really great website. Lots of fun content too. I haven't seen a guestbook like this in so long. It is fun!

Found this website via the 512KB Club, and loved how simple and minimal it is.

Greetings!

Stumbled upon your Mastering Emacs notes. Great stuff!

So rad to see a guestbook, and I am so grateful for finding your Lisp in Vim article this afternoon. Thanks to you I'm now set up and instantly having fun writing some CL for the first time!

Hello from HN! I had fun playing your RGB guesser game. Thanks!

I read Fizz Buzz with Cosines and I really liked the article. Great work.

From China with love. Amazing website.

Nice site! Fun games, interesting posts, sober presentation. I will come back!

Just wanted to say I really appreciate your website! As someone who grew up on the Internet in the '90s, I've been reinvigorated discovering more "traditional" websites buried beneath today's constant onslaught of algorithm-derived suggestions. Thoughtful websites are so valuable!

Yay! It's 1998 again!

Online guestbooks are cool.

Stumbled on this site from the 512KB Club. Blog entries seem pretty cool. :)

I just discovered short and large scale number, thanks to your blog post Million Times Million. In France, we usually use the large scale numbers.

Hi people of the early 2000s, greetings from the future! I'm sorry to break it down for you, it is not exactly as we imagined. But there are still small islands worth visiting, like this blog!

I feel a bit silly signing a guestbook but I could not resist. :-)

This guestbook could probably use a link in the footer of the website as well. :-)

I found your website by going down a blog rabbit hole and discovering your post about your blogroll. Now I'm reading your other posts and loving them! Love the dark mode color scheme. :)

Really nice to find a ‘traditional’ website outside the FAANG SoMe isolated silos! We need more like this. ♥

Just discovered this site thanks to Hacker News. Loving it!

Already enjoying going through your GitHub projects. In particular, I loved your uncap project. First thing I do on any computer is remap `caps lock` to `control`. I've been using the same `.reg` file for years.

I read your Nested Code Fences in Markdown post after I saw it mentioned on HN. Found it helpful. A neat tip I didn't know about! Thank you for writing it.

This takes me back to some other, older, cozy-nerdy time of the Internet, and feeling right at home! Cheers!

Thanks for your words in Writing First, Tooling Second. This really empowers me to just start writing things, because I always worried about how the site would look!

Always great to find such an interesting personal website. Just passing through and leaving my trace.

Thanks for Wander Console. It made a really nice addition to my web directory!

I don't even quite know how I came to be here, but hello all the same. Feels like visiting an older, kinder web.

I appreciate your Wander Console!

Hey Susam,

I have recently been hanging out in these quieter human parts of the internet and it has been wonderful, so I added my blog to Wander.

Some friends of mine are organizing a hacking convention about the old days of hacker culture called NaClcon in North Carolina at the end of May. Not sure if hacker cons are your kind of thing, but if they are check it out naclcon.com and hunt down my email on my blog and I can get you a discount code.

Thanks for creating a wonderful project that has helped me and so many other people connect to each other!

Very soulful and interesting website. I like it a lot—especially the ideas that are being shared!

I love your Wander Console. Thanks for hosting it.

Love your website for the really interesting content you purvey. We have very similar interests, and I also like to mess around with really basic fundamentals of maths; you can read about the Little Fermat Theorem on my blog if you want!

Do please keep up the good work. Best wishes.

Saw your Asimov/LLM article on HN. Thanks for a good read!

I'm curious how you implemented this guestbook and how you deal with spam or malicious users.

@kingsfoil, thank you for leaving your comment. The guestbook comment form is implemented as a server-side program using Common Lisp and Hunchentoot. It accepts POST requests and writes each comment to a text file on the web server. I review new comments roughly once a week, delete the spam and add the genuine comments to my website as content data. A static site generator, also implemented in Common Lisp, then renders the comments along with the rest of the website.

Guestbook is a blast from the past. Nice to see pieces of the older Internet!

Hey Susam,

Amazing site. I really loved both the content and presentation. Wish you all the best.

I just found out about your website and it's going directly into my feed reader! I love the simple structure and your writing. It's very fun to explore! I might copy your comment system, which I find quite elegant and seems manageable regarding spam.

Thanks for all the Lisp content!

Like your site. It's a throwback to the good old days of the internet.
