demojournal 7005 death

Actually it seems that i'll take this wonderful oportunity to demise demojournal7005 from the blogosphere.

If you were reading this to get some demoscene links and hints, i been doing that at the scenept blog instead.

If you were reading this to get some netaudio links and hints, i been doing that at the beatsplayfree blog instead.

If you were reading this for getting news on enoughrecords, you should use the rss feed from the enr homepage instead, or subscribe to the mailing list, it's also linked at webpage.

If you were reading this for links to interesting new media / technology / ai / hacktivism / research stuff, you should really check my delicious.com account instead.

If you were reading this to get some extremly bipolar underground artist music recommendations, you can still follow my last.fm account instead.

If you were reading this to check what i been up to lately on the audiovisual front, all you should need is at my personal homepage and i'll probably tweet about it when something i did new is available.

If you were reading this for any other reason, you should either really sms, email, ping me on msn/icq more often, or get a life. Also, free hugs and kisses for any stalkers out there. :)

Eitherway, i think the usefulness of the demojournal7005 has expired, deprecated by this overwhelming abd ever expanding social web technology of sorts that seems to be so in vogue nowdays and always yearning so badly to exterminate all the little privacy we still have left. So i bid you all potential faithful readers farewell from this joint and hope to see you elsewhere soon.

I'll update tpolm.org/~ps sometime in a near future to replace the journal tab to start pointing to twitter or maybe nothing at all, we'll see.

twitter me beautiful

seems like i finally succumbed to the hype: http://twitter.com/psenough

why i run enoughrecords

i still run enoughrecords because of things like this review of our jenifer avila release. it makes it all worth while. :)

Checking slashdot i found this interesting article at newscientist.com, refering how to use anti-spammer technology that will push for development of AI recognition technology, so that they'd be actually doing some technological advance in their quest for full automated spamming. Quite clever idea, wondering what other similar approaches could be applied elsewhere.

breakpoint 09

home after yet another breakpoint, probably one of the best ever, great weather, some nice productions, had the oportunity to meet some new people like the legendary ra / nooon and my good netaudio friend jan robbe aka atomhead / entity. Also meeting up and idling around again with old friends is always cool. Even had a demo presented with my music, made by the friendly Still folks. My hand drawn picture didnt seem to do very well but here it is available for download. Other prod recommendations of the chef include cluster bomb / kooma, the new farbrausch demo, rokkasho / sqny and cognoscere / mfx. There were some other cool stuff on the amiga and size limited compos aswell, but you can find them easily in the breakpoint results.

can design save the newspaper

Just seen talk from Jacek Utko at TED about design saving newspapers. Nicely put.

updating enr website

the more i code and revamp the enoughrecords website internally, the more i seem to realize that more things about it are requiring a revamp. after a few days of ajax implementation and an insane amount of click copy paste crap to update all 218 releases, i seem to be where i was last week, except now there are a few (a lot) more stream radio and discog links creeping up around the corner and the page actually loads faster then it did before i overloaded it with these things. i just wish the damn website todo list would fucking disapear already! but there are still quite some things to get done concearning archive.org and i still havent considered the best way to handle the torrents that will be showing up.

when i'm done with this crap i can start trying out some new image experiments, since no one else seems to bloody bother to send me a new template, regardless of the numerous times i have asked different people for a little help to do it. it's really frustating to have to do all this monkey work alone. -_-

Deep

hmm.. it seems the folks at beachparty didnt manage to get deep running on their machines. It's actually a bug we have noticed but havent managed to iron out yet, having to do with exporting processing apps with opengl hack fullscreen (not native p5 fullscreen), what is odd about it is that it runs just fine when you execute it from processing, but running the export it wont pass the loading shader config file section on some machines, including one of out dev machines. We tried some logging to debug the issue but havent hit home yet. Also the oddness of the bug clashes against most logical theories to this regard. java awesomeness at it's best.

Eitherway, the demo seems to have not been officially released, i guess we should try and fix the fullscreen bug and send it to some other party, maybe blockparty. in the meantime here is the HD H264 AAC .mov of the final version - also available online at vimeo. And you can still try out the windows and macosx executables if you're feeling lucky. (EDIT: win32.zip has been updated, including the required dlls, macosx requires to install cg toolkit)

Source code will probably be out sometime next week. Hopefully we will know wtf is up with this odd exporting fullscreen issue by then - and release proper final binaries of the thing.

trace's referrer circles

trace has done this circle effects based on referrers, quite neat (and dynamic) visualization of referrer traffic. It seems to be part of his referrocracy site experiment. Seems cool to me.
