Code and what I think it means
Things are coded, encoded, decoded, usually information. People encode their information to keep it from unwanted groups. There are groups out there who like deciphering code. And groups who want to decode the past.
In normal language, we use code, we call it slang. Sometimes we use slang to keep information from others. Other ways we use code is to shorten long sentences of speech into a few letters and/or numbers and give it the same meaning.
The phrase "I have to find the code" means I have to find the pattern to this nonsense. Repeating patterns that's what we're looking for. A pattern is something you can predict will happen to something using intervals of time and space.
Random Name Generator?
Why are some people taking in more than others? One end, random name generator is seen as something amusing but on the other end it's taking more serious.
We all need some amusement in our lives. Putting words into a generator then having it come up with something else is quite amusing. I don't see any point in it. It's just as basic as cutting out words from a newspaper, putting them into a bag, chooses a limit of words you set to choose and making meaning out of the words but the name generator is more complex than that. I don't how a word or name is plugged in and a list of words comes out. Must be like translation, for example like English into Spanish. I kind of undertand what the teacher explained how the random name generator works, matching the closest meaning of words from what you plug and the list you have made.
Matching mean and translation, I guess that what it's all about. Maybe it's just helping us see things in a different light and angle. After seeing things in a different way will help us have a better understanding what we're looking at or what we have questions about. It does help me, if someone else gives input on something I'm trying to figure out with words from their vocabulary or even someone foreign giving their input with their vocabulary of the English( American) language. Probably foreigners are better translators because that haven't been too corrupted by English(American) slang. Us naturally speaking Americans are so embedded and depended on our slang we have to teach it to foreigners to help us understand them. I'm guessing it's probably like that to foreigners, we have to be taught a little the slang way of speech if we choose to communicate with them in their language not seem like robots.
That's why some of the chatterbots I have come to encounter have seem robotic. They must have a database of slang language to make them more interpretable but slang is hard to pinpoint, slang and it's meaning is different from country to country, state to state, city to city, even schoolyard to schoolyard.
Maybe I'm going too far about what I think the random name generator is all about. Maybe it's just random, no translation at all. But some random name generators I have inputted gave me the same output everytime. Not
What is the point of Blogging?
Well, I don't blog anywhere else but here. A long while ago I've blogged a few times at other sites but I bored of it really quick and stopped. I only blog if was made to, now. I'm figuring blogging for class is to get rid of the paper work for class almost and to get me familiar with the blogging aspect, technique and nature of it all.
Blogging is good for sharing information to a lot of people who need information fast and quick ( speed varies with webserver and web browser). But it's not as fast as live TV news reporting or the telephone and/but I could be wrong, maybe there's some other ways I have not thought about. Blogging, people can enter information into their minds as fast or slow as they want and you can read as many times as you want before it's deleted. But now I think about it, it can always be done with TV now, I've seen commercials about a guy pausing a TV program to make time for his daughter. Yep, technology is working more and more around people, and we're slowly getting rid of waiting.
Blogging lets an individuals share his thoughts and feelings with the world. Before you would have to be part of newspaper or TV network. Newspaper and TV are censored, not Blogging, I think. You can say anything you want, and another I think.
about Graham's blogging
from the list of words, I get the feeling he has been through a lot. I rarely heard those words that are listed, a little sexual.
the discussion in class about playing video games all day
the question was, "aren't you just wasting your time playing video games all and it's not as credible as a real job...", and someone else said, "how about the video game testers, their job is to play video games all day..." The other issue of people living their lives through video games.....
My thoughts about playing video games all day, it's alright to play video games but playing all day, it is a waste unless your boosting up your video game skill by which you're committed to it. I heard about in class, they're going to have televised tournaments, prize money being a million dollars. yeah those people who play video games all day, they aren't wasting their time, they need to train. Is playing video games for a living a "Real Job?" I say anything that gives you money to do something.
My thoughts about online fantasy game is - I think those people who live their lives through online computer games are kind of coo coo but what do I know maybe they're not as coo coo as we think they are. it doesn't need to be physical to real but it is physical, those bits that store your information is real and physical. micro-physical, I think. being with people face to face or playing a game with a person over the internet who you never have met, they're similiar in they both give you new memories and experiences with people. These online games with big worlds is a tool for communication , I would compare it with early tools such as the mail system, the telegraph or telephone, it's just a more efficient to communicate and live. If you can communicate, work and live without leaving your home, GREAT!
another generative text I D E A
take a name and see what sentence you can make from the letters, like this:
JESSICA SIMPSON: is a man
DON JOHNSON: on soon
TIGER WOODS: is so good
STEVE JOBS: sees jets
BILL GATES: is a big bat
STEVE WOZNIAK: was in a zone
CHUCK JONES: hucks cones
the sentence has to make sense, is there a sentence making sense program?
Idea for a Generative Text
I would like to make text more human by adding, "like" in between text, "you know" at the end of text, it woud be thrown in the middle of something like this: pronoun+adverb+adjective+noun+verb+"LIKE"+adverb+conjunction+noun+"YOU KNOW". Text would come from a list of adverbs, adjectives, nouns, verbs, conjunctions, and pronouns that you would have already or have to compile.
pages 75-101 of wordsmadeflesh
I read it again.
The cut up poems have limitation to it's randomness. One limitation is words, you are limited to your source. If the source was newspaper, the limitation would be the amount of words in your source newspaper and the variety of words in your newspaper. You can't have any other words and you're only random to those words in your source.
That makes me think about a situation with someone asking someone else, "Give me a random number." What does that exactly mean? And it depends on what the situation is. I'm figuring the person who asked for a random number is expecting a number between a range and that person who was asked knows the expected range of numbers he can reply with. So the limitation is expectation. Besides unsaid expectation, there's the said outloud expection, "Give me a random number between 45 and 324." for example. And other variations on asking for a number, "Choose a number between...", "Give me a number..." so on and so on. We talk and communicate in the language of assumption. We don't have enough time to go into detail about what we need or giving others what they need.
There's a problem with cutting up something, rearranging it and calling it your own. For instance, cutting up a Bob Marley song and rearranging it. Cutting it up in to so many pieces and making a mess of the order of the pieces cut up. Could that still be considered a Bob Marley song. Maybe just with the instrumentals, it's probably harder to hide and disguise with the vocals. Talking about chopping up and piecing Bob Marley back together, how about the newly formed song sounds like pretty much a rearranged chopped up Bob Marley, could someone else take that and make money off of that without paying royalties. But he or whatever, the Bob Marley Foundation whatever, doesn't own the notes, nobody owns notes of music or nobody can own chords of music, can they? People can own the order of music, how it was arranged and composed. Chopping up and rearranging and pasting would be the world of sampling. I don't know anything about sampling law.
The same ideas and questions would come up for chopping up and rearranging things visual.
Owning the order of something. The order having some validity.
pages 63-102 of Words Made Flesh
Randomness, Validity, taking human involvement out of the equation.
Earlier pages of 63-102 was explaining randomness of words, sentences, meaning. People were attempting randomness with cutting up words and/or sentences from a newspaper and rearranging them in different order. People making/writing computer programs to do the same thing. Making poetry with these computer random programs. Making images with it too.
Towards the middle of pages 63-102, is randomness valid. Is randomness real, worth less, or have less value. Or having machines (computers) do the work for you make it worth less or have less value?
I realize that there is a lot of taking out human envolvement in the world. I'm not sure about of the world but the city I've been around or lived in. In the city, I see a few machines do jobs that are/were done by people. What comes to mind is ATMs and candy bar machines. Well, candy bar machines or soda machines have been around for awhile, they were around before modern electric'd and microprocessored snack and soda machines. ATMs machines are more complex. Even at the Walmarts or Home Depot checkout line they're starting to take people out of the equation of service. Taking people out of areas that can be replaced by machines. If it's a job that is machinelike, repetative, and have an easily set pattern, it will be replace. It goes beyond jobs and goes into language, words, and meaning. Making long big explanations into something simple.
Taking people out of the equation is enevitable.

I read Chapters 1 & 2 of Words Made Flesh
Words Made Flesh...hmm? Chapters 1 and 2? what I got from it was, no matter what language a person speaks, a word or maybe the meaning of what that person is trying communicate in any language, the variable will be the same or close. I mean, I'm trying to say, the number value will calculate out to be the same or close to from a sentence or word that mean the same thing from any language. For instance, "cat in the hat" will have the same number value if translated into a different language. Every language has an alphabet and each letter has a number value. The number value of "cat in the hat" in one language will equal out to be the same in another. I think it works the same in individual words too. But I think it works better with sentences, maybe two or more word phrases than one word.
Even in the same language, two different words having the same meaning, the number value will be equal.
Then, I was thinking about the random name generator (was that the name of it) with the list of words of adjectives and nouns. Putting in your word or name and the random name generator coming up with something meaning equivalent or taking the value with from each letter of your word or name and matching it with your list of adjectives and nouns as best as it can.
Because if you put in the same thing, it would produce the same number combination.
That's what I got from the two chapters and from class. I probably didn't explain it clearly enough or I just have it all wrong.

I I Chinging
I was wondering about the animation studio I'm in. The name of the studio is Buttascotch Yo Animation. So the question is "Will Buttascotch Yo Animation be successful?" I did the coin method of I Ching. What it gave me was:
The present is embodied in Hexagram 34 - Ta Chuang (The Power of the Great): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
The sixth line, divided, shows one who may be compared to the ram butting against the fence, and unable either to retreat, or to advance as he would fain do. There will not be advantage in any respect, but if he realises the difficulty of his position, there will be good futune.
The situation is evolving slowly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
The future is embodied in Hexagram 14 - Ta Yu (Possession in Great Measure): There will be great progress and success.
The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chen (Thunder), which is tansforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to brightness and warmth.
I think I got from this I Chinging is things will move slowly but if you stink with it, you will succeed. I think it's true what the I Ching prophesied. We are moving slowing, getting things done slowly. But we are determined. And I hope things are good in the future.
