implicit music, or the idea that music naturally exudes from everything. composition is not the act of making music, but of starting with music and working backwards. #halfbakedideas

I finally got around to writing down some audio programming tips for people starting out @!(ref "audio_programming_recipe")!@.

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.

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

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

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 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

more attempts at articulating the !sample_curation problem space today. #updates

well, it seems like I managed to automatically weave all the !literate_programming parts into a !weewiki! It's not all that helpful yet though, due to the fact that pages have autogenerated names like 'wm_000_0002'. A table of contents comes next...

while eventually I hope to get all of literate org parts of !monolith posted online as a self contained !weewiki, I've decided to post little pieces as self-contained documents. here is a copy of !trigvm, the toy VM used to power a rhythmic computer-sequencer controlled entirely from the !monome_grid

a new twtxt/weewiki feature: any word starting with '!' will translate to an internal weewiki reference in my HTML renderer. Example: here is my !wiki_index

in particular, twtxt provides timestamps. weewiki doesn't really track the passage of time. it only wants to be a key/value database with org markup.

postcard sized art is such a lovely scale for the visual medium. attempting to imagine the sound/temporal version of that
