from The Golden Path: gradations or ashes


i'm against anything that presses me
like gradations or ashes or night
septembre dying in a boil
these fat dumplings rise another
weekend with the kids blowing up

from The Golden Path: its empties


because on those nights
it got so quiet
sweating that raucous
october out upon reid avenue
its empties overtook me

xanax POP --> Nothing hot runs from my crotch


Nothing hot runs from my crotch.
One route allowed along Hallowe'en lake
collides within these mumbled densities
cleft like a frustrated quietude...

DISCUSSION

Cogent vs. Level3


slashmicah asks: "Internet partitioning and Tier 1
ISPs are something most people don't know much about
(myself included). Today, however, some Slashdot
readers might have run into some issues involving
these two topics. Cogent Communications and Level 3,
both Tier 1 ISPs, are apparently having some
'undisclosed' disagreements, causing an Internet
partition by turning-off or deactivating their peering
point. Cogent Co. has released a statement explaining
their side of the problem, however they have no
mention of when the problem will be fixed, or when
they will sort it out. This partitioning is a problem
because any [single-homed] computers that are
connected through Cogent Co, can not connect to
[single-homed] computers connected through Level 3.
Having spent all day sorting out this problem, I ask
Slashdot: Isn't there a better way that the issue of
peering can be handled/regulated? If not, does the
future hold a scenario in which the Internet is split
into several separate networks, only to be connected
at the whims of large corporations?"

DISCUSSION

Re: A few words concerning open-source and art


--i've always wondered why more artists working in
code don't release source code at all--and why,
especially here at rhizome, there's so little
discussion of code where new media headz gather--

--seems that in the new media context, code becomes
fetishized--but no-one ever actually gets around to
talking about code itself--i got excited when i saw a
post here announcing a "source code" blog, then
horribly disappointed when i recognized that the blog
had nothing whatsoever to do with code--

--perhaps what is needed is an artists' code
community--one in which artists working in code can
share classes and libraries, where code artists really
do become hackers and not just fantasize about
it...like sourceforge for art...
