@calutron just noticed the error in noodle you were explaining last time, that after saving the red save-state icon wasn't changing. Just fixed it, sorry about that.

It's nice to see a new journal addition to the Neon Kiosk.  @neauoire It took a couple days, but we're finally in the new place! Now we're just waiting on some furniture and picking up necessities, but this place is perfect for us so far! (And if you're ever back in the Vancouver or Bellingham area, it's just a short drive for us to see y'all! 🥰) Last year we stayed south during the heat wave, this year we decided to weather it up north. I think we'll become more like birds, and migrate with the seasons.  Found jellyfish spawn point. The water is warm, with very little outflow, where fresh water from the mountains meet the brine.

 So, @rek had these sort of metal quill tips, I don't know how they're called. I can't help but be amazed by their simplicity. It's a single piece of folded metal that'll fit over almost anything. Here I stuffed the end of a mixing stick into it, and turning into a pen. I don't know why I have never seen those before.

  It's a bit frustrating that the Small File Media Festival website is so large that it's impossible for me to load even the front-page. @neauoire Out of curiosity, what sort of transfer speeds and round trips do you usually see?   I've been reading The Unsettling Of America, the cover could have been: "Wendell is BACK, and HE'S PISSED" Cleaned up my notes on #permacomputing this morning. Salvage Computing: Designing for Disassembly ensures that all elements of a product can be disassembled for repair and for end of life. Collapse Computing: Designing for Descent ensures that a system is resilient to intermittent energy supply and network connectivity. https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/permacomputing.html :permacomputing: This wiki is about #permacomputing, a radically sustainable approach to computing inspired by permaculture. @neauoire I wonder if “calm computing” concepts have overlap as a principle, if it means less notifications is less things running in the background, and less complexity? Not exactly for the same purpose. Especially since I see calm computing more as not letting a machine hijack your attention or manipulate you.  @neauoire an interesting idea that would need to confront the proprietary nature of tech as well and rights to repair such tech. Open source equivalents to consumer products could be a possible route as profit motive negates open standards. Planted a few dozen sprouted lentils and mung beans on a little islet onto which nothing but short grasses and moss grows. Curious to see if they'll take. I chose this island so they don't compete with indigenous plants on the coast. I doubt birds would take them out and carry them ashore.   The increasing slicing up of time into smaller and smaller pieces, until all one is left with is a nano-second of time, not enough to ever feel informed. https://www.meta-nomad.net/the-battle-against-the-hyperpresent/ @calutron Just remembered, I'm not sure if you knew, but you can import a tga into Noodle, so you could make a 3d scene, export to tga(monochrome, no RLE compression, top-left alignment) and then paint over it in Noodle. Just thought I'd point it out :) In anchorages, there's this social phenomenon that I haven't given a name to just yet, but it goes like this: Anchorages are usually quiet places, in which any sound will be noticed by anyone sharing that echoing space. So, if you start your engine, all eyes will be on you. So people tend to be quiet, use their oars to get around. But you need just one vessel obnoxious enough to use their engine, to raise the volume enough that a second vessel will start their generator, and a third, ..

@neauoire When I was on a mooring down in the BVI's, we'd run our generator at night, because damned if I was going to sweat through a night with small children aboard. We shut it all down when everyone got up for breakfast, but I did feel a slight twinge of guilt through the night. It didnt' last long.

@neauoire So, now I'm wondering, how about the code to access the code that is out there in cloudland? Check out @m15o's genius Neon Kisok, it contains the definition for an HTML journal, which is an HTML article format to use on your /now page so it can be aggregated. It even automatically generates a RSS feed! kiosk: https://kiosk.nightfall.city/ In our keynote for NIME, we'll quickly show how Orca works, @rek made these hand-drawn slides that demonstrates the basics of the program. |
