Cid, ever thinking of dropping any of your albums on tape? Its a lofty dream, I know, but I would buy one

I've actually recorded some of my albums onto cassettes, but I've never distributed the tapes and I don't think I ever will

It's just too expensive to make merch. I wanted to press CDs for cidoku's night out (11th aniv. ed.) but it'd only been possible at a big loss... my music will never leave the digital unless I play it myself

I thought bandcamp did that or it's the artists who end up making their own cassettes and disks and selling there?

bandcamp only offers you a storefront; you have to supply the merch yourself.

Thank you! And thank you for the follow. I couldn't really access your site, the link on the landing page is broken.

"Conformity to W3C versions and specs thereof are a waste of time after '97" My primary concern is extensive backwards compatibility, not standards. If those elements had been in HTML 4 it's (barely) more likely that my target browsers would support them. Since they don't, I can't use them.

Are your specific criteria for inclusion and retention of elements and attributes thereof based primarily on compatibility with the browsers listed on your page?

cidoku's avatar cidoku 2 years ago

Yes. Basically, I target IE4 and Netscape 4 as a conscious design choice and constraint. Standards never mattered as much as "what browsers can actually do". This was true during the browser wars, it was true during the IE6 dark ages, and it's true now (the html living standard = what chrome does)

Had I been here upon your first annunciation, I would've warned against the sale or relinquishment of such a useful tool, and advised you to cultivate some discipline to eschew online activity when you'd rather read and draw. Otoh, I'm glad that you're more interested in books than sites.

I don't believe getting rid of your personal belongings will help achieve your goal, for me, being completely honest, that's a bad way to cultivate self control. especially with your objective because it doesn't make sense at all, if the computer is something that is in your way, the laptop will be just as much in your way lol

It's fine; I don't do anything on the machine I gave away that I can't do on my old trusty laptop. Not being nailed to a single place will benefit me, and I'll reclaim a lot of space occupied by the screen, keyboard, etc for more useful stuff.

@ongezell No, because I can't be fucked to use my laptop for anything but work. I get home and I forget it exists.

And, well, although it's important, self control is not even my main goal. It's just I don't see much use for it anymore. It's a big bulky powerful machine that I don't use for anything but to update my site. It's a waste! I might be whimsical, but this is something I've been meditating for a year or so.

Kinda but not necessarily. I was thinking more in the style of old books that made up a conversation between two or more fictional characters (e.g. a teacher and student) to communicate the thesis of the work. Think Platonic dialogues.

The other day I was reading a book on heraldry from around the 16th century and it was interesting in that it taught the subject in form of a dialogue between three dudes. The book "Surreal Numbers" by Conway is a math book written as a conversation between a guy and his gf who find a weird inscription on a rock while on vacation and try to decipher it.

"Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata" by Ørberg, a Latin language learning book, has many chapters written as dialogues too. It teaches you latin by following the story of a roman family and their slaves, lol.

And I remember at least one japanese (travel?) blog in which the author made up a few characters who discussed his whereabouts. Fun stuff. It's difficult, but more people should do it.
