Archive for March, 2010

I’m moving, though you might not know it. Soon in the physical world as well, but for now just hosts. Now on to FatCow. This effects only some of the database elements for now, and a bit, since I am without internet at my apartment till Monday. So hold off, I know I know, on eMAIM and SMeSs for a minute till I get everything up a whirring again. Gorbs.

Occupied Territory

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Occupied Territory is a PHP program I just wrote that runs through a string of input text, splits it apart into all its constituent words, check each word to see if it’s a registered .com and, if so, spits it out a as link -not linking (obviously) to things that don’t exits. Named thus because of a favorite song/7inch by one of my favorite bands of all time, Desperate Bicycles – that’s what the text is about. How much is left unoccupied and what is it? IT WAS EASY IT WAS CHEAP GO AND DO IT!

sMeSs

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

SMeSs burps text messages to (un)known targets un(knowingly). The penultimate Surrealist Act (according to Niels Bohr) is walking out of the shower and texting your girlfriend in the middle of the night. This program misses the mark by far. It will blind a cat however, and it puts the keys to probable chaos in the hands of anonymous gentlemen and wildwomen. Must enlist to receive arms.

eMaim

Monday, March 15th, 2010

eMAIM fires off blind and random e-mails to any one of a collection of (somewhat) willing victims. The ultimate surrealist act (according to Breton) is walking out into the street with a gun and firing at random. This is a less dire implementation of the same intent. Send poetry to who knows who. You’ll never get it back. You’ll never hear of it again. Get it out of your life and into someone else’s.

Dreaming Heavies

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

I’ve been on a project all day with my buddy Yeshe. It will eventually be a dream data aggregator of sorts. We’ve both been very interested in compiling dream data across time, space, and minds just to see if there’s any correlations or patterns that might possibly emerge (I.E. why the fuck did we all dream about dogs on February 3rd?). In order to have a place to collect this data, I’ve spent the day belly-button-deep in MySQL and PHP manuals. It’s pretty close to functional at this point. Will post it here when it’s ready to launch. In the meantime jot down your unconscious wanderings.

Antithesis

Friday, March 5th, 2010

A nuclear bomb detonates with such incredible force because it is the ultimate collision with concrete reality. An Atom – inarguable. Prove enough points and we’re all reduced to… To imagine the energy of the Universe, of the moment(s) of its birth – the Big Bang, imagine all atoms simultaneously exploding. The total energy of all atoms in the universe. E=Mc2 where M (mass) = EVERYTHING. The whole history of activity back since the very beginning in one single event. Back to the pre-atomic. Back to the microseconds of speeding – seething plasma. A glowing glow – for there IS nothing else but the glow. All the energy only. Everything it takes to hold us together. We are because of a force equal to all of the energy in the Universe. The antithesis of thought is an atomic bomb.
