i switched it over to search all xlt posts. it's a minimum of six characters and you'll get a max of 50 results and wildcards won't work so it's still of limited use. which means it may not kill the server |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's also not bothering to fill in the metadata and it's all "posted by user # in thread #" and that's not hard to program the computer to fill in, i simply want to see if it shits its pants first with just this. |

how do we feel about a cron job that's like "xltronic post of the week" and once a week the server selects an entirely random post and it's on a box on the site all week |

whatever direction this goes in, credit where due, xlt now has a decent search after 10+ years of tune's rats nest alzheimer code |

i'm glad i've hit on something that's actually appreciated i cut music off like a gangrenous finger because this shit will put me out of a place to live if i keep going, quite literally. then my emotionally abusive mother comes down with alzheimers, moves cross-country without even saying goodbye, and i cannot describe how much that is STILL fucking me up. then fuck it, let's go after money, and i realize all my weasel/science stuff is in the way and i try to kill it and this sends me into a class of neurochemical event you want to avoid at all costs [in fact -- any of my memory i'm having trouble with is a combination of [that, severe emotional trauma from mum, and years of overdoing on booze because of years of emotional trauma from mum]] so i cannot get rid of weasels and science? and music is already out? i started talking to academics [really!] and found that is an even bigger pile of shit than music. and patents are a fucking joke that only help billionaires now. the best i can do finding a job in "science" is to go work for philips corporation and help them avoid getting sued for giving people cancer [because that's cheaper than simply not giving them cancer] so this is some sort of weird art/magick project centering around XLT, and that pile of weasel writing, and, i dunno, my love of CSS border styles and UNIX as a form of self-exploration + expression. you lot never have never really gotten a proper technical effort out of me. but maybe that is a better approach |

if i had to squint and peg it -- there should be something about the overall feel of the design that pulls back nostalgic memories of a 'zine, i suppose. but then if you squint, you also see how i've been taking care to make sure this works on a phone internet as well as a desktop internet, because i'm not trying to create an anachronism. i'm trying to salvage how we feel about some of that, i suppose, and make it relevant today. thad's canoe was me sitting down and trying to write a track for the board, but it's tied down with all sorts of personal percepts like memories of summer camp and, actually, the writing will be more relevant to you lot in general and that's simply how it be |

a few posts away on ars technica from the story on the guy who coined "tech singularity" [dying on the same day this domain] is renewed and i'm writing on the 19th about how the domain expires and... a few posts away from this is "Dogs’ brain activity shows they recognize the names of objects" and i've always felt that the act of naming something is effectively equivalent to creating it somehow. that "nevenen" is a middle english word meaning "to say, tell, express, esp. the truth" but also "to give a name to" and i found this when i was like 17 on the internet and it became my music name for these over 20 years simply after it passed trent reznor's advice: wait a week and if you still like it. i waited longer, but the other candidate i had was "androids on acid" even though it'd be a few years before even tried psychedelics yet. the domains, i believe, registered on the same day. then finally jeff antebi of waxploitation is telling me AOA sounds too fucking high school and ok, nevenen it is and the article art for this dog article is a welsh corgi with a bunch of electrodes connected to his skull smiling and sitting in the lap of a woman and presumably her child, who is wearing a shirt with a stylized image of a dog giving me vibes of magritte's "this is not a pipe" and given that ein was a datadog in cowboy bebop and i'm kind of on a whole retro vibe here, this fits perfectly below the image of serial experiments lain already present. same as how i was like "i have literally a dozen photoshops of that billy corgan image we did on the yugo forums together" then i'm just "that one" and "it goes ABOVE the serial experiments lain image" and yes, i love it, it looks like corgan's brain ouroboros melds seamlessly into the wires, that's clearly why i knew that was the right image this is instead of music and it's arguably more in sync with what people can appreciate, arguably. but i'm just following my nose |
||||||||

|

anyways my point was i've updated the site and added that image |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found this when i was like 17 on the internet and weasel brain would add that i precisely recall this was in the high school computer lab, deliberately mining a middle english dictionary for potential band names. that i can take you to the precise spot in physical space. at a high school reunion i found the computer lab is now the student lounge and there's a giant oil painting of one of the teachers i remember from high school done up like he's shakespeare and it was fucking brilliant but, anyways, weasel brain would like to point out there has never not been a time in my life when i could tell you all of this, the lab, the exact place the particular computer was, my agenda when i found it, and from there i'd have to work out why i was searching a middle english dictionary but... yes, this was because lord of the rings was in the theaters and i'd read it for the first time and i was taking a stab at learning elvish before concluding it wasn't for me, and a bit later a blob of that collided with the school requiring latin class and my genuine interest in word roots and it came out of that but that's bullshit thread material sry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...then actually i can feel that blurring with the computer two seats over where i got stuck on AOA and, i think read reznor's advice in the same sitting. either that or the night before. not sure |

once i updated elmer, he concluded dan simply has to own autechre's anti-ep, because without a quantum-computing ECC scheme utilizing penrose tiling, autechre will never find some pants that fit. from the look of the updates, he's having some problems with his computer, a CIT-101 [generic VT-101 terminal clone] |

so this is some sort of weird art/magick project centering around XLT, and that pile of weasel writing, and, i dunno, my love of CSS border styles and UNIX as a form of self-exploration + expression. i've just noticed that this is thread #128666 and that was not intentional at all. |

part of what i added to discordogs yesterday was... i swear i made this same snide joke about an HP thinkjet being infected mushroom's secret weapon synth. but there is really a lot of love in this. my first printer i ever had was an HP thinkjet. and then i made this joke, i suspect, in 2014, when i first noticed the cardiod shape of the air in between giving me the sense of a mushroom-shaped room, and then i'm thinking about the gaps in between sounds and i come back to a printer that i still have a deep emotional soft spot for. and when they do that thing that sounds like a dot matrix printer, there is something in that, even if it's not directly printing thought. then it's today i'm realizing i had a trippy feeling because i think i picked the exact same dingy HP thinkjet on an oriental carpet image i picked in 2014 and that would explain the feeling so i knew i'd made the joke before somewhere for sure, then i go to doing it up on the site and i think i literally managed to dredge the precise same picture out of image search that i selected as "perfect" ten years ago and that's simply because it is. |

i call myself a magpie, but i guess that's being a fantastic crate diver, and for this site, i'm kind of DJing with, like, oh yes -- this joke i made a decade ago fits beautifully. and without even trying i've even picked the same picture |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i came up with the printer joke after noticing, "this sounds like my first printer, and fuck me if it doesn't get me fired up like all hell" and it's an even better trick than the mushroom cardioid room trick |

it's 2024 and discordogs.com needs to be up on #a11y and so i am now gradually adding image alt tags to translate to an accessible experience for the blind as best i can. this requires some mental flexibility and i am enjoying it. the overall HTML is a rat's next but if you're limited of eyesight the tab order should already have you wasting none of your life digging around |

how do we feel about a section "defensively heterosexual band names" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean, it'll be a mess for the blind if you try and browse this site. and there's so much about it that is unarguably visual-or-context-lost. so then i'm simply squinting at and saying "this will come out as total salad, viewing this without eyes, but maybe, with the right touches, it can add up into the same thing" and amongst the odd technical insight out of this is "well maybe it's wrong to simply try and translate corporate.com to code that will be [blind accessible, lou gehrig's eye tracking usable, etc] that you need to accept it will never be a literal translation and you have to take a moment and reinterpret the experience, accepting that it will never all completely get there, and what can we manage still?" other updates include the stussy guy [but fuck off, i'm not putting no horse teef on that page], a very likely redux of a satisfied apple vision pro [mkII!] customer, and more AI-generated spam about cross-platform and UNIX and gender and my feelings are captured by this man from the third or so episode of "the equalizer" as he attempts to disappear himself into the biscuits and crisps when confronted with THE EQUALIZER …. dark souls builds … AI generated clowns |

is a bit like how I smelt. "It takes courage to embrace your extraordinary" intones Driver, presumably fluffing his line. Nobody would have written that, surely? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nobody would have written that, surely? well -- clearly -- you have never worked in marketing or PR. for the latter, your entire job is meetings; sitting there and arguing about optics and how to manipulate the [t]optics to your your advantage. marketing is a whole infrastructure atop of this, with interns grinding out someone's proposed pitch angle and 39/40 of these get thrown right in the garbage skip without even getting past more than 2-3 meetings and this is some weird cruel brain powered on, like, computing the answer to get you to buy what i believe the french call "toilet water" if you translate it [but then i even know toileţ or whatever is simply the LOWEST GRADE of perfume to the french and even this is marketing, like, do you want the toilet water or the good stuff? OBVIOUS CHOICE RIGHT? pay up] so by the time that slogan is compiled by, likely, what is a human hive mind, you've had entire meetings about... well, what are the values of this smell. and after a month of arguing and discarded intern research, well... COURAGE. that's what our smell is about. but we can't just have usual courage, and after another month we need EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE and then six months later someone wakes up from a dream and realizes you need to flip this all around and you fucking have it, "courage to embrace the extraordinary" and this gets the jab promoted and a more expensive loft but by the time it gets out the door two months of meetings have used the hive mind to tune the grammar, to embrace YOUR extraordinary, to make it psychologically more engaging as a slogan so in a sense: totally. no one wrote that -- it was a hive mind constructed of pure bullshitting. i haven't watched the advert yet. i figured it'd be more fun to dash all this off before i see what they've put into that, and thus, i suppose, how correct i was [or not] |

in any case, i'm rather not feeling sections "psychedelic near misses best-of 2007-8" because i only have two or three and then that html table will be kicked. i don't actually have a list of defensively heterosexual band names to put up on the page, but that's still a solid back-burner idea. instead, i'm thinking it's very important i collate a list of know octopi |

i figure roger's logic was essentially just, "will this get me laid" and he's in a relationship and it doesn't even matter, old habits simply die hard. and i'd be a bloody liar if i said i went through the same sort of logic any number of times myself. but asking "will this get me laid" gets into all my deep thots about smell and physical gender vs. animus/anima and you actually cannot really answer this question without engaging on my level. and think about that |

i think of this rather hairy jewish man in a diner car a few months back, smiling at me oddly, perhaps a full six inches shorter than me and... yes, that'd fit. it could have been the smell of adam driver |

i mean, allow me to go absolute aspie [simulated] on this: you're not simply wearing cologne as a habit. you're trying on new cologne at a mall, indicating this is an evolving and experimental process, e.g. you're still trying stuff out to see if anything works better. and if you're in a relationship, someone knows how you smell when you wake up after missing a shower the last days, and what's the point in hiding it? and yes, always keep trying in a relationship, but the scent ship has sailed and she's either into it or not. and it's more like teenage roger coming back for a moment |

i recently proposed, by extension, that [quantum stuff aside] we likely cannot create AI without, actually, some sort of backflow, due to the nature of intelligence. that we cannot do the full sci-fi AI without... well, understanding how? and if we understand how that works, how can it not influence how we think? meaning the mere act of developing an A[G]I will, yes, create at least some backflow simply because you have to in order to achieve that sort of equivalency at all. to have us deliberately whip it up; not let the whole planet compute it as a whole. it gets me thinking about, perhaps... oh, early as 2005 i was screaming "DRM IS AN ATTEMPT TO VIOLATE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS" and the analog hole [great name for a bar!] and i can't make a proper mathematical presentation of my point, dammit, but i feel like you can never totally copy-protect anything; make piracy impossible. someone can always just pull out their phone and get a degraded version and you cannot ever possibly stop it and perhaps there is, actually, some sort of [pen]ultimate sideband channel attack, that effectively goes: learning more about me will influence your own actions, and if you keep going, i will learn more about you whether i want to or not. that would be fascinating |

Can you use the computational power of Discorddogs to pinpoint exactly when Matketing started using this ballache of verb+adjective (Imagine Amazing, Mollycoddle your unique) so I can go back in time and destroy them? |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
if you went back and time and destroyed that particular instance of Marketing machine, a different, arguably fungible marketing machine would only attempt the same computation. a few words might be different ("THE COURAGE TO EMBRACE YOUR [equivalent word]") and... well, if you've gone back in time, destroyed it, then it simply happens again somewhere else... what have you really done, anyways? aside from set them back momentarily. no, this is an arms race. build the machinery to defend yourself or smell like adam driver's sales pitch forever |

i think the site needs a section "ACID ON DOGS" where people send me picture of massive sheets of blotter placed on top of a sleeping dog for a brief photo. [[it could be just like cliffyb's catscan: ARE YOU GETTING THE DOG HIGH AND ARE YOU HURTING THE DOG, will come the angry mails. and so cliffyb needs a disclaimer that goes like "the cat fell asleep on my scanner and i didn't make it do squat, please do not send catscans featuring flagrant angle's of "fluffy's junk" [direct quote] and finally he meat of it, which is that IF YOU LEAVE A SHEET OF BLOTTER ON TOP OF YOUR PET FOR LONG ENOUGH, SOME OF IT MAY ABSORB -- but you're more likely to fuck yourself over by fumbling and dropping the sheet in the dog's water bowl and ruining it and now you have to clean the dog water bowl with gloves on or both you AND dog will be fucking flying within a few hours]] please send me photos of your dog with a sheet of blotter gently placed atop, momentarily, for a photo |

birds have a terrible sense of smell, to the point of... "...if you could even call it that" in some. isn't that kind of strange and fascinating? because what animal doesn't usually have a good sense of smell; better than us? someone recently won the nobel prize [i think] for finally imaging it and cracking how the sensors work. but long tangent even lower down, pretty much any cell anywhere has same basic array of chemical sensors [as a single-celled organism, you need to know when to swim away from toxic goop] the avian telencephalon evolved along totally different path. birds wired around vision, sound, and proprioception instead [they would have to think in 3D somewhat to fly proper, right?] i think everyone kind of inherently understands "smells can bring back memory like nothing else" and while our vision is keener [we've evolved better vision on top of smell] it's not our daily [adam] driver... not as relevant, but still there. especially for deeper mechanisms like sex that are still inherently chemical there was a smell some men would wear sometimes. bothered me for years -- eventually i figured out it's "'Lectric Shave" stuff you put on your face as a prep step for using an electric razor. i bought a bottle after who knows how many years to try it out [and yes, actually, it really does fucking help] then, as soon as i open it: "OH THIS IS WHAT THAT SMELL IS, WOW FINALLY!" ...as i get back an image of my dad shaving in the bathroom when i was ~4 years old within a year or two he'd decided electric razors could fuck off forever. he never used them much to start. so that one moment was really what haunted me for years until i sorted it there is probably a competing product, but i don't care, i'll keep it for the smell. it reminds me of my dad. and it actually makes a difference shaving or i'd not bother [but it won't work on short hairy jewish men, who should avoid electric razors entirely] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but you see how that fucking product got me, yes? just a vague ancient memory of my dad one of the few times he still bothered with an electric and once i found myself interested in the utility of such a product i was effectively locked in to that particular brand come to think of it i never actually made a conscious decision about the brand of shaving cream i buy if you start tearing into yourself like that, you will find stacks and stacks of.... shit, that simply got me, i never actually made the choice to be absolutely, blindly loyal to this brand. i just carried it over from dad because that's what dad did there's so much in there already you'll not possibly be able to tear all that corporate marketing out of yourself, ever. you've been colonized, like herpes |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
because even our tangents need tangents. i've never paid too much attention to smells in general; it's not a sense i've put a lot of work into. except, i can tell you all sorts of things about a strain of weed from how it smells, even when how it physically looks is arguably a lie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that it even gets into the strain names and the connection between the name and the smell and the result. this strain "cheese" really does... taste/smell like cheese... and that's kind of gross? and it's really strong but in that chemical unpleasant way you get when you've selected out too many of the lesser-known cannabinoids. so when i have a sniff now, and "oh, that's got a whiff of cheese to it," i say: "this smells like a solid backup, but what else do you have first?" then weed is a very female drug, about associations, and the smells go to certain places... well, already roger understands what i mean, i'm sure |

i've added both [The Kock Brothers, George Sores] to the list of known octopi at once. taylor swift (with some help from banker dad) lives next to Scooter Braun [because they're no fucking different, thank you very much] and then next we have Daniel Ek and then [Saul Rubeman?] character in ST:TNG where he tries to turn Data into a pet and so obviously next comes Sam Altman on the list and i would like to stop and make the point that i see no categories when i fire my shotgun |
