Projects/Ideas
2018-12-08 8:37pm

I am the type of person that loves starting a new project. I love
the  excitement of  initial problem  solving  and coming  up with
ideas.  I also have  a pretty solid  history of finishing things,
up to a certain point anyway.  I tend to not love the maintenance
phase of things.  Once a project becomes useable,  or presentable
(as the case may be),  I tend to just start enjoying it and start
looking toward  the next project.  Today was the  day that things
started to feel stable with Burrow[0] & colorfield.space[1]  (and
its various pieces of software). I like using both of them.  When
I encounter  a bug,  I fix it... but the  pace of  development is
definitely slowing.  As such,  I spent the day  with a fun little
side project:  I realized I had never coded a version of Conway's
Game of Life.  So I coded one.  It was fun!  Once I clean  up the
code, I will likely put it up on the colorfield.space ssh shell.

I have been thinking about trying to put together a zine for some
time.  Something  about programming,  alternatives  to the modern
web, digital communities,  ma ybe some... not politics exactly...
but something around socioeconomics/culture, philosophy, art, etc
I would place the inspiration somewhere between 90s  zine culture
and 2600/Phrack/Blacklisted411,  with a larger focus on culture &
decentralization/small  digital communities.  I may start putting
out some feelers re: writers.  If anyone  reading  this  would be
interested in contributing or getting involved, reach out[2].
