Giger

More Rain and the Beginning of Fun

It has been raining the last 2 days, which kept me at home. I checked this online label Thinner with lots of free minimal music, suggested to me by Cefo , also known as 032 on the lastfm community. He has great taste for music and has really opened me for great stuff like Andrew Pekler and Alva Noto and Jan Jelinek. By the way, the last fm service functions really and has managed to suggest me already some of these artists based on my previous choices, but it is still better to get introduced to new music by a good friend.

I also played with this funny flickr interface, it is a nice game.

I am relaxing now, but I think the next few days will be exciting. This weekend I will be at Bodensee and then in Zurich, next weekends I will jump with a parachute, it will be great. Also the Weiterstadt filmfestival will begin and I plan on going there, it was great last year.

The sleep I got the last few days will be quite useful :-)

Some rainy days

The raining season in Darmstadt is in full swing, so it is the ideal time to sit at home and work on the computer. I have been busy working implementing some geographical map features for fwcrawler, which proved to be relatively easier than i thought. The idea is to put users and artists to their countries of origin in the world map. I will be able to put it online in several days. I have used some pretty advanced stuff from wordnet to be able to create a small geographical database with countries, cities and counties. Some bugs remain, for example the database considers James to be a river in the USA, and not a personal name, and Twin a city in the USA, and not a family relation, but this will be fixed and running in no time.

Besides, I have sorted out some of my old stuff and made some new images. Enjoy.

Multi Cube Layers

I have been trying to combine cubes of different granularity. It seems easy for now to create several cubist images with different cube size with Java and than combine them as layers with different blending in Photoshop. This has the advantage that one can adjust the myriad of Photoshop filters available and see the final result.
