It was a great feeling to finally get the flikr image feed icons on the sidebar of the site today. In general I spent a couple of hours toying around with feds, mostly using # hashtags to search twitter feeds. There is a really powerful aspect of the RSS that always eluded me. I could see how they might be of use, somehow getting caught out without a regular HTML editor after I quit dreamweaver I never learned how to use them properly.

For over twenty years I have used UNIX or Linux on and off as part of my art process. First it was all GNU and then it became Open Source in its articulation. As the internet has evolved awareness of the system and development of tools with it have really progressed. Following sources like slashdot and reading Linux boards on the modern internet the question has come up numerous times...why isn't there a great game on Linux?

It seems like I have been searching through potential digital mediums for awhile now. Beyond html there are various sort of (Open Source of course) tools that allow an expanded participatory web 2.0 type experience. I have installed things that I use a lot like the wiki, and I have totally deleted certain software like some collaborative stuff that shifted and went proprietary right after I got used to it at all.

While I tinker with the site and learn drupal, apparently cowboy style, I play Katamari. Its a way of refreshing my mind and giving certain process streams a rest. There are lots of little pointless breaks in the game which are essentially screen loads and the like, and those are good opportunities for file transfers and save changes.
