where wave meets particle No Simpler than this: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 <#> 14:16  HelloWorld  rant: there is a structural aspect to communication too!    Asc Mo i've been reading .. over the last few weeks .. and especially these last few hours .. all this 'stuff' being written about weblogs right now. and the wake of the cluetrain update piece. .. one's all about people posting text.. the other about how we're joining little things to make great value.. all true. but what's left out to my eye is another strand in the discussion.. one touched on in some pieces on authenticity (no, dont flee now) and another on 'writing into being' if i recall correctly. what's left out for me... is my sense that i am merely creating an information space for myself. its not about the words alone. its about relationships and organization as well. its about the 'backend', about how i interact with the information space just as much as it is about it being accessible to a blind person. .. all of that is 'sort-of' driven by me. i dont think i will find a template to fit me..  beyond x-logging, .. scripting on the desktop is what's coming into its own for me. that, and creating an information space with a historical context. i'm writing this casually and on my way elsewhere - so it may be easy to dismiss my view of the discussions in the air as just someone not getting that journals are journals. ..and that weblogging software will have more features et all..  no, i'm just saying that i do not see writing on the true challenge of building and populating an information space.  templates will carry you so far.. graphics skill a bit further. eventually you have to bridge the little pieces. that is where desktop-scripting come in. the relations were now building with the scripting tools and personal datapumps are what bring the web to us. the log, by definition, is history. # 12:01  LinkLog  first article has worthwhile method points    Asc Mo Thoughtful essays by an Internet 'Bible-hacker' (HouseOfDavid) [jorn] # 11:40  LinkLog  nag nag nag... you get forced to view ads here    Asc Mo Law.com forces you to view ads.
