here's some desktop footage of the glitch-like qualities caused by neglecting to redirect stderr to /dev/null or /dev/pts/1 (an open terminal) when stderr is having debug messages output to it.
http://jwm-art.net/xorcurses_debug.mp4 i find there is some aesthetically pleasing qualities to it. but it's expected for an ncurses app which outputs anything to stdout or stderr. its not out of the ordinary for debug info to be sent to stderr. a console/terminal application (non-ncurses) would normally output to stdout, so outputting debug info to stderr allows the two streams to be prized apart, one as normal, the other to a file or elsewhere where ordinarily they'd intermingle and become confused like they do in the file i show. in the file i show, what you see, is by me thoroughly expected behaviour. its not bugs in the code which produce this glitch-like effect. it's not an accident. debug messages are used by programmers to identify what and when is happening. they're written by the programmer and the program. macros insert src filename, function name, and lineno into the messages. perhaps some kind of deprivation produces this. driven by some kind of deprivation to send this out. 3 people look at the first fifteen seconds. two don't even get as far as the link. the rest have me in their ignore file. pity this poor fake artist. he's not very good at art, even worse at theory, has forgotten all history... he can write code but not brilliantly. can write code. can't code art. can't art code. can create code. code write create. poor fake artist. nose know theyorae. glitch glitch. fear||y. kerchitch. gling. theory. per chin beer re: glitch hero. heroe's of glitch volume II: the blessed yoghurt pock. grab-bag. dev/pts/1 is my favourite thing right now. i love it, /dev/pts/1 it rocks my socks yo. yo yo yo yore botox. /dev/pts/1/rox-shlocks/ -- http://jwm-art.net/ image/audio/text/code/ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
