Been a while
I've been working on something over at the dayjob. (Although I'm writing this at 2:36 AM from the office, so not just dayjob.) I tell you because it's fun, and it's free to use.
I went out the other day with some XML folks, old hands. We talked about ISO 8879, which I once photocopied in its entirety, and old issues of Creative Computing, and about Ted Nelson. I said, now that I have gained experience in key web technologies Django and SOLR, I feel I have the experimental platform I need to implement a new version of Ftrain with a new kind of story, entitled “Lost Dogs, or, the Unhappy Town.” The person I told this to, you could tell he was not buying this. He said, “I am not buying this.” There was a definite sense of trains leaving stations, boats leaving docks, bicycles unracking, respectively blowing whistles or tooting horns or tinkling bells. A part of me turned into birds and fluttered away, a flock heading to sea. They were dragging a whale. I thought, well, shit, I guess I better think about that.
