I feel like I'm watching late 90s's/early 2000's movies on TV as a kid with some of these lately. Effortless immersion
Honestly, sounds awesome. You 100% should make cool bad shit. There’s something special about making stuff just because it feels right—even if it’s just "hucked together." Plus, it kinda doubles as a service to the environment. Feels like your art already exists in your head, just waiting to get out. Grab that garbage bag next run!
Np! Looking forward to some trash masterpieces! We have been around, just got busy, BUT feeling the itch to get back to updating our page and along with that creating new film stuff. Stay tuned! =^.^=
I had a dear friend who purchased an art piece made from trash fished out of the sea. The items were assembled in a frame like a diorama and painted all in one color. It looked pretty awesome actually. The only thing is that it was super heavy. They hung it over the computer desk. It almost killed us one day as it fell and smashed the old school monitor underneath it as we sat in front of it.
...Anyway, I think you should totally make art out of trash. It is rad for all of the reasons catcat already mentioned.
Not an artist? I don’t know. Are any of us ever anything until we pretend that we are?
do it! even just picking up random junk bc magpie brain is real fun. i have a broken doorknob sitting in a flowerbed rn because i saw it on a walk on holiday and decided i wanted it. is it art? idk it's just magpie shit
Been fixing up a few things. What happened? You didn’t get a bunch at once did you?
I'm not 100% clear on RSS feed updates being pushed, but I thiiiiink if you change the GUID or if you enter a link address that isn't in the feed already it will send the item as an update
Sorry. I’ve had to delete lines from all my files that call on a specific favicon, so that whatever is in the root directory is used by default. A new thing I learned. So I was looking at RSS because the favicon wasn’t changing in the RSS feeds from what I saw. In doing that I saw that I had a mistake in a line (a missing angle bracket). I fixed it. And then you got mass updated.
I always add a new RSS item after every review. Have you not been receiving updates until this happened?
i haven't noticed any updates from readingproj in a little while, no. maybe the missing bracket was creating a incomplete feed? do you test your feed after an update?
I tested it after updating today and I will in the future. The thing is, the feed was still working on the program I use so I had no idea there was a problem
i use a website that sends RSS updates to an email inbox of my choice as opposed to a feed reader; it's possible that the website i use has stricter guidelines for acceptable feeds that their code will detect and send? but i remember a while back realizing i hadn't seen RSS updates from readingproj in a while and i just figured you had stopped updating the feed intentionally
thank you! i write down any idea that i think sounds interesting and when i pick one to work on i just go with and don't worry if it's not perfect.
Techbro* do it* serves me rught for typing on a bumpy bus rode on my phone lol
What I meant to say was "Still better [to hand code] than be like a techbro who got chatGTP to do it for you. Snark is at people who code with AI not people who hand code
ugh this hit me a bit, i had a dream with a similar vibe about my granddad recently
I have an acceptable entry. —That was my work of fiction that unfortunately does not meet the length requirement. Sorry Mike.
Only a few hundred words. I can't clear my throat in that time! What will I do?
@skep, thanks skep, submission accepted. ----@readoprojo maybe just the beginning of the introduction to a regular piece of yours?
Hello, this sounds like a wonderful opportunity! Thank you for posting. Just a couple of questions: Can I submit horror? Could you clarify a hundred words (Is that 300 max or...?) Can the piece have been self-published?
Howdy! Yes, no max/min for word count, yes! I need some good pieces to fill up the testing site to understand formatting and such, so need some good posts to fill that role rather than using lorem ipsum
No word limit. No that's better! I'll be in Sydney today. See what I can cough from the archives tomorrow
Speed was the key but I guess most people can't bang out 500 words on a dime
Just emailed you a 500-word story (exactly!) Drop me a line if you don't get it.
Sorry. Just realised you wanted non-fiction. I wrote fiction. Sorry. You don't need to use it.
Sorry. Sorry. Just reread. Fiction or non-fiction. I am a muddle-headed wombat
got it, replied!
