Alan + Maudlin + Turnt Up To 11 = > but it seems a useless and quixotic endeavor occupying almost 22 years of my life, Which is a Troll because Alan is Never Maudlin.
The first time I encountered Alan's website I thought of him as brave. I do not buy many peoples' fantasy of living 'off the grid'. "Off the mac grid?", I would ask them. The alpha betizing is ornament on your site.The beams are in place - your archive is more stable than any I have seen. Natalie Jeremijenko, for instance, does not have an archive which can be catalogued and indexed by Git. At some point there will be a zip of content - a dissemination to the finest online monument builders. I doubt it would happen in second life, there would be a celebration there of course, but the main bit, the part that matters, would happen later. Your words, mixed with others, inseminate an important conversation. Beyond that, your words, as an archive, sherpa generations through trouble-wrought lives. time withstanding, Bishop On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 2:28 PM, Alan Sondheim <sondh...@panix.com> wrote: > > > i have similar feelings, but working starker at > http://www.alansondheim.org - placing everything in text files with urls > to audio/visual; at the moment i'm on "tg.txt" having gone through the > alphabet several times over. it's an arcane system which unfortunately > makes it difficult and probably useless for everyone except me; on the > other hand, the 20,000 pages of text and references there are fairly > complete. i started this in 1994 with what was called then net0.txt and > it's continued daily ever since. at least grep and other commands allow me > to search themes etc. fairly quickly. but it seems a useless and quixotic > endeavor occupying almost 22 years of my life, as far as anyyone else is > concerned. > > > On Tue, 23 Jun 2015, Randall Packer wrote: > > Interesting conversation about artistic output into the social media >> sphere. >> >> I am obsessively committed to my blog: >> http://www.randallpacker.com/ >> >> And have been for about 10 years. >> >> Why?
