The address is 416 Escondido Rd, but that area of the campus is closed to vehicles.<br>
The best place for drop-offs is the landmark "Fire Truck House" at 433 Santa Teresa St, (the real Fire Station is on Serra)<br>

<br>
T Shirts? As of now, order them before the meeting from Andreas. He will bring them to the meeting or ship them to you. </span><br>

</span></span><span class ="txt2">CH Ting<br>
</span><span class ="txt2">*"Cells are computers. Code are stored in DNA, like disk drives. Code are transcribed to RNA, like RAM, edited, and then released to perform functions. Some RNA release microRNA, which cause transcription of RNA. MicroRNA are instruction set of the cell computer. Many RNA contain lists of microRNA, which are Forth high level code in cell computers."<br>
<br>
</span><span class ="txt2"><span class ="bold">Forth on the Gigatron TTL Computer</span>Ken Boak*Ken will describe the Gigatron TTL Computer - an 8-bit machine built entirely from TTL, that is an unusual candidate for the Forth language. <br>

This can be done by standard physics lab methods, but most audio engineers have neither the equipment nor the knowledge to do it. So we record and sell "Standard Tapes" to carry this information. We use an oscillator, a tape recorder, and a control system made with F-PC to turn the tape recorder on and off, to announce the tones, and to control the frequency, level, and duration of the tones to be recorded. As is usual in Forth, the final word is the program. I will describe a few of the zillions of words that we need to do this."<br>
<br>
</span><span class ="txt2"><span class ="bold">A Tale of Two Forths<br>
</span></span><span class ="txt2">Joseph O'Connor<br>
</span><span class ="txt0">*Joe will discusses both the JavaScript and Python implementations of Creole Forth. <br>
</span><span class ="txt0">Joe actually built the first version of Creole Forth in 1999 and presented it to the Maryland Forth Interest Group. In 2003 he cleaned it up and presented it to SVFIG for the first time. There are now four versions (1) Delphi/Lazarus component (2) Excel (3) JavaScript (4) Python. Joe will concentrate on the JavaScript and Python versions although you may see something of the other two Forths in passing.<br>

</span></span><span class ="txt0">Brad Nelson<br>
</span><span class ="txt0">*"Over the last decade 64-bit processors have largely displaced 32-bit, outside of embedded applications. Recently, operating systems have begun dropping support for running 32-bit processes on 64-bit systems."<br>
</span><span class ="txt0"> "A larger natural cell size, enough to fit whole Forth word strings into a single machine word, is an opportunity to simplify the design of Forth. I'll explore what this looks like in a small Forth, and touch on how OS hosted Forths fit into a world of ever growing complexity."<br>

Once in a while we shuffle things around, for whatever reason. It may be ill-considered, but it isn't malicious. <br>
<br>
If you're desperate to see a particular thing at a particular time please mention it and we'll try to accommodate you. If we get enough of this sort of request, we'll institute a system of graft and corruption in order to accomodate the well-healed among you. <br>
