links -g is an underappreciated jewel.

trying to get myself to reach for !links browser instead of firefox for locally testing my wiki. For the most part, it really doesn’t need the heft of firefox. When links -g is used, it really really doesn’t need firefox.

to date, 138 pages in my wiki. wowee :)

with !zet and !zetdo, I find myself constantly needing to type out UUIDs. thing is, they aren’t the easiest thing to type. might invent an intermediate typer-friendly intermediate UUID format that can then convert to the regular UUID format. #halfbaked

new algorithm in @!(ref “sndkit”)!@: @!(sndkitref “phasor”)!@ generates a normalized periodic ramp signal, typically used for table-lookup oscillators.

don’t get me wrong, I love the power of emacs. but it’s a very complex piece of software, which is inherrently brittle. not a problem in the short term, but for some of my more long term tools it’s a consideration.

if I don’t need org-agenda, that’s one less dependency on emacs, which I have a love/hate relationship.

if I could figure out a way to integrate scheduling tasks in !zetdo, and maybe clock in/out, I think I wouldn’t really need org-agenda anymore.

a supplementary component to !zetdo called something like “due”, which schedules items in the TODO and dynamically creates schedules similar to org-agenda. #halfbaked

I really need to feel less guilty about not doing bullshit. I decided not to do bullshit work, and it ended up being a nice day.

it really feels like I spend a few hours every day trying to will myself into doing what other people want. I suppose everyone has that to an extent. It’s just really hard to do things that I know are stupid, when there are other more important things to do. Really winds me up.

today was one of those “do what you want to do, not what you’re supposed to do” kinds of days for me

SQL(ite) and zettelkastens as a medium for non-linear story telling. #halfbaked

a dynamically generated page for food recipes: !food

added recipe I use for brown sugar cinammon poptarts: !poptarts #food #breakfast #baking

Writing a “tweet” is low-friction, and the medium forces you to chunk out ideas into (mostly) self-contained thoughts.

I’m finding the microblogging format to be really useful for working out ideas.

the !zet I have written for my wiki is probably going to end up replacing what I’ve been using twtxt for these past few months. this means less spam here. you’re welcome.

I tried removing a flag from curl, and now tweets are downloading to the cache folder now. I think. will have to wait for folks to say stuff.

that’s it. I’m sticking to this txtnish client.

that’s it. I’m finding another twtxt client.

code drunk. refactor sober.

slowly amassing a collection of !metapages on this wiki.

added a !meta page. this proof of concept integrates with the weewiki !zettelkasten I am developing to produce something similar to this !feed.

I’ve already implemented like 4 new features today just out of necessity with my !sample_curation project.

I am loving how organic this !zettelkasten is in !weewiki. the key value structure I’m using is so simple and allows for many structures to emerge from it.

to start my sample !zettelkasten, I imported some waveform collections I had nearby: AKWF, Architecture Waveforms 2010, and WaveEdit #samples #curation #zet

I still can’t get over how I can download megabytes of information instantly these days. I am a child of dial-up.

uh-oh, my masto instance is hanging.

a collection of high-res wavetables with a !CC0 license: [[https://waveeditonline.com/]] #links #samples

okay. txtnish is now officially sketchy. sometimes feeds don’t update, even if I run txtnish update, and this means missing replies. I gotta find something else if I’m going to make this more than a write-only experience.

there’s a zet growing in my wiki now. #updates

with the addition of crate in weewiki, I finally found an opportunity to add some words to the !sqlar page #updates

implemented initial crate import in !weewiki. one step closer towards !sample_curation

I’ve got a good feeling about the !zettelkasten I’m building for !weewiki. I think it is going to grow legs very quickly.

added some pages on #permissive #publicdomain licenses that I often reach for: !CC0 and !unlicense.

my chai recipe I made in 2018: !chai #tea #food #recipe

with some scripting, I could probably use my upcoming !weewiki !zettelkasten as a drop-in replacement for !twtxt, and then generate the twtxt file. however, I think I am going to keep them separate for the time being. let them both grow to serve different purposes.

initial crate words imported in to weewiki source repo. no code yet, but it’s pretty clear to me what needs to happen next in order to make an MVP. #updates

@hecanjog@hecanjog.com has a twtxt feed yay

import functionality now works in the !weewiki zet #updates

some good initial progress with the !weewiki zettelkasten. messages can be made and tied to previous messages by providing partial UUIDs (that then get automatically expanded). basic export also works. #updates

I’m really sad to have (temporarily) taken my monome grid + arc off my desk, but the empty space on my table makes me think better. Hopefully, I’ll be able to appreciate them more when they come back. #updates

okay, now !worgle and friends are uploaded to the !loom: [[/loom/worgle]]. #updates

created an initial wiki page about my !loom. #updates

added weewiki and orgparse to the #loom today [[/loom/weewiki]] [[/loom/orgparse]]. #updates

I had this notion yesterday of ignoring whitespace completely in !txtvm. this could allow for some ascii-art patterns in the output (similar to what some IOCC entries do). #halfbaked

hatching is a monochrome system traditionally used in woodcuts and engravings to denote tinctures (colors) [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatching_(heraldry)]] #1bit #links

the concept of literally typed languages. as in, languages designed to be satisfying to type. #halfbakedideas

added an initial !bitwrite page #updates

I’ve recently been reading up on zettelkastens again, since it is very closely related to the ethos of a personal wiki system like !weewiki. The thing that interests me is the emergent patterns that come from linking things to things. Which is exactly the sort of solution I’m looking for !sample_curation. #halfbakedideas

not to mention there’s lots of interesting transformations one can apply to the linear ramp of a phasor signal. movable midpoint as seen in phase distortion synthesis and !phasewarp. exponential and @!(sndkitref “bezier”)!@ mappings. Not to mention all the trig functions and waveshaping synthesis techniques. All these things would warp tempo in interesting periodic ways. #halfbakedideas

it’s also easy to use scaling and wrap operations to transform a phasor signal into smaller/larger phasor signals, allowing for interesting rhythmic microcosms that stay in sync #halfbakedideas

I’m hoping to build a phasor-to-clock signal generator, which divides up a phasor into an arbitrary number of ticks. Using a global phasor as a global clock would allow for interesting polyrhythms, as well more flexible precision in sequencers. It’s also closer to how human-based conducting works. #halfbakedideas
