2021-12-11 06:03:41: introducing: the (trikuf). code samples included. #halfbakedideas
2021-12-10 15:05:39: trikuf: 3x3 tiles that comply with geometric square kufic rules, as seen in (kuf). #halfbakedideas
2021-11-30 21:31:27: I think the forth-lisp works if you think of it as a forth by default that pushes and pops s-expressions. #halfbakedideas
2021-11-30 17:22:11: building a Forth that sits alongside a LISP. If it's not an S-expression, it gets interpreted as a word. #halfbakedideas
2021-11-30 17:18:19: oh boy, I'm looking at (minilisp) and I have to say I'm inspired to try and hack on it somehow #halfbakedideas
2021-10-25 13:26:02: Prof. Jellywhipple's Ultra-Fantastic Computer Music Time Loop #halfbakedideas
2021-09-14 09:01:41: thinking about a building something in the realm of (gesture) that could work alongside (gest). The core principle of gest is line construction using breakpoints and an external clock. This new system, which I think I will call sloop, is more about making lines using slope. It would work by sending it messages: go from here, to there, in some amount of time, and use an external clock. If it reaches there, you have arrived. If a new message arrives before you get there, you are already here, now you have a new there. I think this approach would lend itself well to more open-ended kinds of gestures. #halfbakedideas
2021-07-19 10:49:51: play/pause/stop is not a great interaction, but it does count. thinking of interactive music as a gradient rather than a dichotomy (interactive vs non-interactive) seems like a healthier way to think about things. #halfbakedideas
2021-07-17 17:34:38: creating vocal tract shapes using the monome grid, and then morphing between them using something like (gest). #halfbakedideas
2021-07-17 17:33:27: musical experience that involve harvesting, farming, growth, and caretaking of virtual musical creatures with personality. creatures would socialize with eachother and their interactions would change the overall musical sounds implicitely. #halfbakedideas
2021-07-17 17:31:39: 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
2021-07-09 20:57:57: my little travel pillow arrived today for my feet while sitting in the meditation bench. paired with my foam pad for my knees, I think I can begin trying to test this out for my future portable kneeling workspace. #updates #halfbakedideas
2021-07-05 15:03:58: conceptualizing the monome grid as a highly accurate low-density monochrome display #halfbakedideas
2021-06-26 11:03:04: on a monome 16x8 grid, you can get 10 consecutive 3x3 blocks in a 2x5 configuration. what's left is a narrow 1x vertical strip, and a 2x horizontal strip. interesting divisions for a glyph based interface with controls. #halfbakedideas
2021-06-24 09:52:46: low-res hard-edged SDFs in btprnt. mainly as a way to compose organic looking geometry. #halfbakedideas
2021-06-24 09:46:27: I want to somehow use my monome grid to build out coarse vocal tract shapes for a physical model like (voc) or tract. 16 diameters with 8 steps of resolution, or 32 diameters with 4 steps of resolution. #halfbakedideas
2021-03-09 16:15:43: using a forked version of ed to do live coding #halfbakedideas
2021-03-04 09:47:10: my tiny screen can comfortably display a text block of 45 lines with a maximum length of 79 characters. wonder what kind of information is possible to convey with that kind of information density... #halfbakedideas
2021-02-09 14:07:24: a decentralized community (zet). individual zet feeds could be managed using something like git/git submodules, then built locally into self-contained SQLite files. zet items would be referenced by their zet nickname and UUID. #halfbakedideas
2021-02-01 17:07:53: 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
2021-01-28 18:01:19: a supplementary component to (zetdo) called something like "due", which schedules items in the TODO and dynamically creates schedules similar to org-agenda. #halfbaked
2021-01-27 19:47:19: SQL(ite) and zettelkastens as a medium for non-linear story telling. #halfbaked
2020-12-02 10:47:46: smoothstep is a stateless smoother function commonly used in computer graphics. could be interesting in the audio domain as well (parameter smoothing, phase warping/distortion synthesis, etc): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothstep #links #halfbaked
2020-12-02 10:14:05: 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
2020-11-24 10:52:56: thinking of computer interfaces as being hypertypewriters #halfbakedideas
2020-11-20 10:26:02: tool-mind vs toy-mind #halfbakedideas
2020-11-17 15:33:22: tools encourage creation. toys encourage discovery. sometimes these overlap. #halfbakedideas
2020-11-16 19:41:25: plans for weewiki: a zettelkasten-like interface, a microblogging platform inspired by (twtxt), and some utilities for managing collections of SQLar archives. #updates #halfbakedideas
2020-11-04 15:07:42: I gotta put hatching patterns in (btprnt). I just gotta. #halfbakedideas
2020-11-04 11:05:47: the concept of literally typed languages. as in, languages designed to be satisfying to type. #halfbakedideas
