Yes, you’re right; it’s a ChaosSaver for “What The Hack“.
(Make some noise to make the black sheep jump – whilst playing).

Ich beschäftige mich grade mit der diskordischen Mythologie und find’s
ziemlich lustig.
Hier eine meiner “Interpretationen”. Weitere Ergüsse finden sich da.

As some people know: I fell in Love with Quartz Composer which is included with Apple’s Developertools.
It started off with me using Pierre-Olivier Latour’s great Pixelshox – experimenting with midisensors connected via an eo-body device; and now it’s Quartz: the same thing, an a more evolved level.
(Pierre works for Apple now).
It’s astonishingly easy for me to use – me, the “nonprogramming-type” – and reminds me a bit of MaxSP but in OS X-Style. There’s these elastic “wires” to connect the different patches – drag’n`dropable from the library.
The hierachy browser (was missing in pixelshox) makes it easier to navigate between macropatch-levels.
The most inspiring site I found lately is at:
zugakousaku.com

Grins: Ich bin jetzt stolze, virtuelle Bürgerin der Cocos Islands: mit antenne.cc habe ich jetzt eine Antennen – Domäne mit Doppel-n, die noch verfügbar war und obendrein auch gut klingt (Dank an Tim für den Tip).
Ich bin gespannt, wie lange es dauert, bis sie online zu erreichen ist (angeblich bis 48 Stunden).

Die süße Inselgruppe liegt in der Nähe von Australien; und wenn ich mir das so anschaue, krieg’ ich richtig Lust mal hinzufahren – hehe.

Damit mir die Wartezeit nicht zu lang wird, hab ich schon mal einen passenden Desktop gebaut.

Have a Look at some QuartzScreensavers for the CCC.

Mac OS X Tiger required.

Ok, still fiddling with the PDF-Import to make files far smaller, but it already works pretty smooth.

What The Hack is the outdoor-hacking-thing this year, taking place from 28 until 31 July 2005.
..already looking forward to it.

Fiddling around with quartz composer again. It’s a lot of fun, but we still haven’t properly found out, how javascript fits in, yet. I need it for some screensaver-ideas with falling, rotating objects. Maybe there’s another way round it.. ? I also would like to move objects more specifically. So, I’m experimenting in my spare time.

Now for a tiny illu: I’ve been playing around with foreign languages like e.g. chinese – the visual approach to these signs is attracting my attention for quite a while. Now it’s arabian, I like the style of characters. Looking for an arabian word I could type, Svenfoo put me into “Basmala“.
