@prologic@twtxt.net just an off the wall question about hashes. why not use the time+message as it was in the original twtxt.txt file? is it because it’s just not store anyplace?

also how set in stone is using user+url? vs user@domain? the latter would mean the url could change without invalidating the hash.

New website
Got a new simplified website. Real old school, no CSS sheet. I’m going to make it more text-based and have more writings.

I’ve also rolled over this RSS feed.

A lot of the site is still unfinished, so notify my of anything I’ve missed so far.
I want to keep old links more or less in place. I haven’t decided if I want to keep using my old blog script (this entry is RSS only).
I feel like I had neglected the blog for a while, and my new site is more conducive to browsing as I add even more. ⌘ Read more

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.

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

built a little script for looking up IDs in twtxt tweets: !twtxt_search. Going to use it as a way to look up and reference specific tweets in my wiki.

weewiki uses a custom org markup parser written in ANSI C to render the HTML. No emacs needed! my hope is to introduce a user-defined callback that can process these to allow for custom meta-commands.

@hjertnes@hjertnes.social are you using emacs as twtxt client or something? does it render the org markup for you into links?

It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].
