And… it’s every bit as fantastic as you would expect.
They interview Ted Nelson, discuss Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart, Xanadu, Kurt Vonnegut, Guernica + the Spanish Civil War, the shape of stories and non-linearity… and lots more. It feels a bit like it was directed by Terry Gilliam.
And oh yeah – Tom Baker plays Douglas Adams’ hypermedia software agent.
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)So say I link a few tracks on a page. One is on archive.org, so that’s fine for everyone, hit play and off you go. One is under copyright. If the viewer has it in their library they’ve configured their browser to know about on their machine somewhere, they can play it. If they’ve bought it on bandcamp, they can play it. If they have a Spotify account, they can play it.
Don’t know if that makes sense. But I’d like to just link to a track in a webpage and have it playable in the page, regardless of where the visitor ‘owns’ it.
The front page is a bit less messy. Everything else is still all a bit overgrown and unkempt, but I’m fine with that. Parts of it always will be.
As Kick’s wrote (https://www.kickscondor.com/stenos/we've-got-blog/):
h0p3 has a home page entry point that is carefully curated and groomed, but which is several layers up from a complete chaos of link dumps, raw drafts and random introspections […] These layers run a spectrum of accessibility—there is always a learning curve before you hit the bottom. You start with a doorway before entering a maze.
Due to COVID-19, it had to be moved at short notice to an online-only event, and it worked really well.
I had good success with my RSVPs and Meetup on hack day – I’ll make a blog post about that soon.
Thanks to Cheuk, Ana and Calum for organizing!
Following on from the OwnYourRSVPs session, I’m going to try and decouple myself a bit from Meetup. I can get a feed of events in my social reader, and RSVP to them via the support Jamie added to brid.gy for Meetup.
I’ll also try to publish my ‘agenda’ page (like Seb’s) for others to discover events, and maybe set up an RSVP iCal feed for my own use (like Jamie’s).
