7/3/2021 - batmemes revival
To those of you who have been waiting for another batmemes, we are truly touched. And so are you, probably, a little anyway. But after years of procrastination, it has found a way back.
Batmemes first came into being …we can’t remember exactly when, almost the beginning of the millineum in 2000. It was written in visual basic and only ran on windows.
Batmemes today has risen on the web and be can be run on any platform and most browsers. It’s not really designed, by its nature, to fit on small screens. It’s more of a desktop application. And outside the browser, desktop versions are coming as well, for Windows, Mac and Linux. For standalone exploration.
It took a sizeable chunk of focus and flow in June to bring this about, but it was also rewarding. It’s hard to draw the line sometimes between staying on track and taking the time to explore something deeper, just using the track as an abstract touchstone.
We’ve adopted The Practicing Mind, to reconcile this dichotomy and highly recommend its council for those caught in similar conundrums.
1/21/2021 - migration
Migrating the site off the servers and motherships, into the flatlands and wildwood of static files (which are actually in the cloud. Imagine that) Even at these altitudes, this is old school terrain. What is interesting about flatlands is how they foster creative forms of web expression. It’s easy to get caught up with templates and fitting content into little boxes of ticky tacky that themes and content systems provide. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But it was time to return to our roots.
And to bring back batmemes and ideazing. A couple of pet projects. And introduce a bunch more. Hope you have as much fun here as we do.
Some things are missing yet, some are in disarray. Tomorrow work is on the contact form. Something a bit challenging in the flatlands, as are comments. But they will come, because guinea pigs research associates for weird experiments are not easy to come by and we’d love to include you.
