first symbols  
 Asc Mo
it is done! i have just published a version of this site which links each post to the sabian symbol of the moon and ascendant. its a webservice too :)

in the process of implementing this i relied on my callback alteration in render. this is such an important thing to me now that i want to just give an update as to how i'm using it. first off, i simply moved the entire bundle having to do with callback all the way down to just before the string-replacements are made.

then i changed it to always call the callbacks. i want to see them in action when my site is dynamic on the desktop! as this is driven by need, my callback parameters currently are:

adrcallback^ (adrpost,@t,@s,flArchivePage,editbuttonimg,savedArgs)

userland should probably just pass in whatever was passed to render itself.. anyway, in my callback routine i add a whole bunch of variables.. most obviously, i tweak the clock to 24hr notation.

i propose that userland deliver future built-in macros by providing them as callbacks. these could be in a second userland controlled feature-expansion table.. but i do think that they best stay out of render itself!

neural basis of the unconscious  
 Asc Mo
Follow Me Here: "Hijacking the Brain Circuits With a Nickel Slot Machine -- in search of the neural basis of the unconscious: "

had a hitchhiker yesterday. picked him up in the rain, half a mile north of where his vehicle had run out of gas. i take him 10 mi to the next gas-station. we talk. he'd dismissed the thought of getting gas. then he ran out.

i report this because experiences like this bring thoughts into focus not as volitional, but in their role as carriers of reports on inner states. i've made mistakes like this guy many times. i push away a thought that proves to be essential.. i close my eyes to swiftly moving pictures that inform me of what's about to happen.. and blammo, i run my head into a wall. I think this happens to all of us and that it is how the sub- and un- conscious in us bleed through (or are used by) the ego consciousness.

I find these articles fascinating yet uninspired. Why can't these people bridge to Chopra? These larger integrations are not rocket-science and are bound to net better science.

Buddhism on the net  
 Asc Mo
Follow Me Here: "Root of Buddhism on the net: Jomoh Temple: "Head Priest Ishiko of Daioh Temple feels that there is an unnatural balance existing between the reliance on material needs and the lack of concern for spiritual fulfillment. He believes that this imbalance is the reason why most people are not totally satisfied with their lives. Through this virtual temple, he hopes to draw attention to this imbalance and through it's recognition help us to lead fuller, richer lives.""

i wrote a webservice to integrate data from a couple of different server on my archive pages and will publish it so i can ask for permission. i think i might need permission to systematically quote. anyway, here it is in action, at least for a night.
