| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | Extra thin wrapper for your pleasure |

| 19 | =head1 WHY? |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | Somewhere deep in the bowels of gmail.google.com.... |

|---|
| 27 | Pip, |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | Based on the name alone, I think this should be the basis of the |
|---|
| 30 | framebuffer for ASCIIker. Even if the name weren't so apropos, the |
|---|
| 31 | library itself looks really good to me in terms of how it's coded and |
|---|
| 32 | the API that it provides. I think making a set of perl modules around |
|---|
| 33 | this and making a Term::Caca distribution would be the right thing for |
|---|
| 34 | me to do. |

|---|
| 38 | B<Pip Stuart> to me |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | My only gripe is ... well the spelling. I believe it should almost |
|---|
| 41 | always be spelled 'kaka'. Both spellings have been understood && |
|---|
| 42 | acceptable according to linguists for quite some time but... my |
|---|
| 43 | highschool friends && I agreed that the K makes it harder && harsher |
|---|
| 44 | ... && when you're discussing kaka... it should be harsh... it should |
|---|
| 45 | sound harsh... it should smell harsh. The C is like a lame copout && |
|---|
| 46 | should only be used by the uninformed or for temperament (which I have |
|---|
| 47 | never employed when referring to kaka). Maybe it's like eskimos with |
|---|
| 48 | tons of names for snow. I think of all sorts of stuff ... refuse... |
|---|
| 49 | somewhat affectionately yet recognizing the crap nature... in order of |
|---|
| 50 | use: kaka, dung, poop, crap, plop, slop, spit, stuf, shat, stul... |
|---|
| 51 | shit is reserved for extreme occasion. These are all my 4-letter |
|---|
| 52 | variable names that have been with me for a long time. This is deeply |
|---|
| 53 | rooted in me &&... I can't imagine ever accepting the C spelling. |
|---|
| 54 | It's weird... I could accept alternate spellings of any of the others |
|---|
| 55 | but I must protest for kaka. I know it's rather difficult to take |
|---|
| 56 | this complaint seriously since it... well has no technical basis ... |
|---|
| 57 | but kaka is kaka... it's like KAKA!!! I know that's a lame argument. |
|---|
| 58 | I'm not prepared to defend it more soundly... maybe the module could |
|---|
| 59 | be Term::Kaka that wraps libcaca? I know that's probably weird but... |
|---|
| 60 | what else can I say? It should be libkaka. |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| 62 | -Pip |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | =head2 but kaka is kaka... it's like KAKA!!! -Pip |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | ...as opposed to 'caca', and thus, Term::Kaka was born to make Term::Caca |
|---|
| 67 | be, sound, and smell harsh. |
