Re: Re: Re: Apple Basic from 1987
just to let people know, Geof has his Apple //e code running successfully
now. we saw a couple of newsgroups referenced in the help file of the older
Apple //e emulator for the PC. the old emulator was working for Geof but not
for me, for some reason (though we're both running XP), so we poked around
on those newsgroups and found a recent post about a new version of the
emulator, and a link to the new version of the emulator. and by gory by gosh
by gum it works. i was able to experience a bit of geof's 1987 computer
poetry for the Apple //e on my PC.
that's pretty cool. i hope there's a PC/Windows emulator that works as well
as this one, down the road.
the emulator's source code is open. different people have updated the
emulator over time as the PC has changed.

Re: Re: Re: Apple Basic from 1987
hi geof,
yeah, i'm not sure if you'd need an apple basic emulator, given that you
have an apple emulator, or what.
http://www.filelibrary.com/Contents/DOS/95/1.html has a zip file that says
it's "An Apple ][+ Emulator that will run Any apple basic programs, or
machine language programs."
maybe if you have this you don't need the apple emulator.
but i am really not all that familiar with emulators or macs.
suggestions?

Neil Jenkins's Visitor's Studio
gotta say i really like neil jenkins's Visitor's Studio chat app at
http://www.furtherstudio.org/live .
it's particularly good for chatting with a net artist and experiencing parts
of their work at the same time, which is what the chat today was about with
andy deck.
neil was doing the visulal/sonic mix as we chatted.
i also like the way that the position of a person's text depends on where
they move the mouse. rather than the more typical linear progression of text
associated with chat.
the menu is quite useful also. for instance, the "current mix" menu item
lets you mix the various layers yourself.
you can also 'upload files' to add files to the mix (jpeg, mp3, or swf).
i think he's programming in the ability to play back chats as they happened,
including the text and the jpegs, mp3's and swf. that would make for a great
archive of multimedia chats with net.artists.
i gather it's flash and perl. no flash communications server. nice to see
the flash communications server avoided. it's expensive as hell and if i'm
not mistaken it has to run on a windows server.
neil's app managed to both really excite me as a multimedia app that keys on
interactive text--the interaction is with people as well as the app, and the
text is truly animated--there are people writing--and managed to also really
annoy me when the visual mix drowned out the text. usually one is neither
truly annoyed nor excited by a piece. i found it interesting that it hit two
opposing extremes.
i have checked out quite a few net.art pieces that key on language but are
also multimedia and code-oriented. gotta say this is one of my faves.
chatting with andy deck, marc, ruth, charlotte, neil, doron, chris, and
roger via this app was an oddly memorable, perplexing, and exciting
experience. also, very appropriate for the experience of andy deck's
terrific work.

how are such derivations arrived at?
do they discover a priori truth(s)?
