25 JULY
Phase one nearly complete. Just waiting for the glue to dry.
Could I be any more vague?


PLANE BIFOCLAR

21 JULY
Back to a non-white background. Back to the coloured blocks. I missed them.
It's really naff to talk about your own site design (or lack thereof), but
do I care? Nein, mein liebe! Anyway, having slabs of primary colour
over a grey background gives everything a more "radioactive" look. This is
something that is on my mind a lot these days, and was fuelled even more by watching
"Dr Strangelove" around a mate's place recently. (I don't own one of these
new-fangled "tele-visual electric moving-image lanterns".)

This week I 'arve been mostlee readin' The Happiness Purpose and
Textbook of Wisdom, both by Edward de Bono, the famous "tools for thinking"
guy. He illustrates most of his points with very sparse abstract diagrams
of little rectangles and arrows.

I've just submitted this site to the Guardian newspaper's "Great British Weblogs"
competition. First prize = 1000 UKP, so it's worth a shot! If I win,
I'll buy you all a drink. Sorted. 

Finally, here is a nice little glitch that happened when
I forced an emulator into thinking that its bios was itself.


FOHJEIGN

20 JULY
A fine thread is attached to the top of everyone's head. The other
ends are all gathered together and tied to a "Heath Robinson" style
mousetrap on the Moon, our most friendly of planets 
(unlike that evil entity Jupiter). Anyway, when Moon-mouse eats the
cheese, a sequence of events unfolds in real-time, culminating
with all our heads being pulled up and together to a single point,
resulting in a loud "clonk" and also some cross-fertilization of
idea-beans.

19 JULY
Dispositional test #1024 (repeat):
Insert shards of left-rotated bytes into both retinal zones.

With all such experiments we must be prepared to accept:

1. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is no longer a law.
2. The outcome is a part of our being, and we are not wrong, so the outcome cannot not wrong.
3. The House always makes 2% margin.


GAUZE INJURE

15 JULY
Well, 12 July has come and gone, so I guess my silly little
glitch art site is one year old. Yes, Happy Birthday...
Will it last another year? Are there any more gleeetches left
in the world to capture? As long as computers rule the planet,
I'll have plenty of material to work with! And don't worry,
the image titles will remain as obscure and pretentious as ever.


QEUKON

11 JULY
SuperPET optimally configured. Diodes getting hotter. Eh what?
Our radionuclide emissions make a jaggy path to oblivion.


CON*FON

05 JULY
Data spool reprocessing pipeline operational.
Hold bytes in wooden caskettes until magnetism wanes.
Collective effective dose equivalent commitment = 1024 Gy.
