big change. ripped out retroforth because it was kind of slow. put the
whole thing in a recfile. surprising nobody. the difficult thing about
this change (although i am otherwise happy) is that the source is a
single file, the rec database at `/db/database.rec`. this makes it
impossible (as far as i know) to to an incremental build such as with
make(1) because the source file, as soon as you update it, is
immediately newer than all of the target files. so everything gets
rebuilt on every build. so i just build everything anyway for now. until
i can figure out something better.
also i export the comic to gemini, which you can find at the link below.

I noticed that the RSS feed was using stat to figure out when a file was
modified for its pub date. This has the unfortunate side effect that the
comics are out of order in the RSS feed based on if they are modified
(e.g. for a typo.) This uses git to find out when the file was first
introduced and uses that as the pub date. A note, the file will first
have to be committed before updating the RSS feed, so the steps may look
something like
just build
git commit .
just rss
git commit .
Hopefully that's not too cumbersome.
