I'm sorry, you're going to have to explain this, Google only came up with
some islands in Minnesota and I'd like to know what's going to be with me.
You know, in case I need to cook for more people or have shots or whatever.
In case there is confusion; "spork" is a ChucK command that starts a new
process parallel to the one you're calling from, this allows you to run two
endless loops next to each other, for example. I imagine it's a contraction
of "spawn" and "fork" but I might be wrong. "spork" can also be applied to a
wide range of non-programming contexts, right now I don't have the time to
go into the exact syntax and semantics of this.
Cheers,
Kas.
