they are bigger than us, I mean, they live in a bigger, stretched out time-scale, hundreds, maybe thousands of years... we find them abstract, as we look at them from our "concrete" flesh-n-blood perspective, but it's just a matter of perspective, they're just as real, our stuctures - interwoven. "we", as bodies, host them, through generations, through learning, through ideas and traditions. is it possible to choose, to change your hosted ghost? is it moral? how do they travel? we have to, as responsible citizens of the planet earth, find better non-hostile means to communicate, with our ghosts

Caleb Gattegno, divides a learning process into 4 stages, Claiming that only Awareness is transferable (to the student). Implications are interesting, as teachers and as learners.
- 1. Awareness, realising that there's something new to be learnt, this is essential, thus, a great responsibility of a teacher
- 2. Feedback stage: exploration, making mistakes, ends when success is met with total presence
- 3. Transition: from being able to perform something with total attention, to an actual automatic skill, where attention can be brought forth to other things
- 4. Transfer: Being able to transfer the knowledge to other skills. learning to run using your experience in walking, etc.
Gattegno specifically explored language-acquisition, and math teaching http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caleb_GattegnoHe also marks an effort measurement unit he calls 'ogden' See also : "The Role of Sleep in Language Learning: What I Learned as a Silent Way Teacher" / Bruce Ballard http://une.education.pour.demain.pagesperso-orange.fr/articlesrrr/sw/ballard.htm" In April, 1986, Dr. Gattegno published a newsletter titled " Sleep Revisited" (available from Educational Solutions). In it he reviews scientific research on sleep and offers his own insights. He criticizes much of Western research because it analyzes sleep solely from the outside, i.e., by observing others as they sleep. The research tradition also considers sleep as merely a fatigued reaction to each day's events. For many years Dr. Gattegno followed this path himself until he realized he could make more headway by viewing sleep as a continuous experience that begins at birth and is punctuated by periods of wakefulness. He also conducted experiments on himself while he slept." Tags: language, language-acquisition, learning, sleep

Conway's Law: [ Systems' structure reflect the social structure] "organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations" [ http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/C/Conways-Law.html][ http://www.melconway.com/research/committees.html][ Conway's_Law[::WP]] Thus analyse a projects structure, and consider certain social reorganisations.
I find Melvin Conway comment - simple, trivial, and (thus) inspiring;; On to Melvin's page, where he claims that until we manipulate software using the 'hand-eye-loop', the process would not be "widely understood":: http://www.melconway.com/appmodel/constr_models/slide_5.html[ http://www.melconway.com/appmodel/index.html ] This wildly predicts Brook's-law - adding manpower to an existing project - requires time establish the new (more complex) communication stucture, thus, delays the project. Many interesting aspects.
not totally related laws:
- Brook's law"adding manpower to a late software project makes it later"
- Wirth's law[::WP] - "Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster."
- Greenspun's_Tenth_Rule[::WP] - "Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp." ... "Including Common Lisp" (Robert Morris)
- Zawinski's_law_of_software_envelopment[::WP] - Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.
- Parkinson's Law[::WP]Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.
- Peter_principle[::WP] "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence."

02:51 [Kai1111] yup
02:53 ['sonoBot'] Hello girls, how is everybody tonight?
02:54 [Kai1111] delay'd a bit...
02:54 [Kai1111] ?!
02:54 ['sonoBot'] (!)I have no dictionary....
02:54 [Kai1111] @qwe
02:54 ['sonoBot'] (qwe)is not unix....
02:54 [Kai1111] ok, sanity chk pass'd
02:54 [Kai1111] !?
02:54 ['sonoBot'] help::TODO...
02:55 [Kai1111] yes these mice are quite loud...
04:16 [Kai1111] is there any dsp trick to keep mice away?
04:17 [Kai1111] some chirps gotta do it...
04:24 [Kai1111] trying some max patches.... setting snd output on 96khz...
04:26 [Kai1111] some alias'd FM around 80khz made him stand of him
hind legs for a while.... he's so cute!!!
04:27 [Kai1111] ring modulation sounds nicer.... but seems to have
little effect... h,,,,mmm
04:46 [Kai1111] well, all this aliasing made him run around pretty restlessly!
04:47 [Kai1111] as I turned it off - he run out the room like a storm!
04:47 [Kai1111] and somehow there's a crazy bee here on the carpet
now.... doing this weird crawling on the floor...
04:48 [Kai1111] might have really confused here, on the mouse stepped on her?!
08:30 [Kai1111] ^qwe
08:30 ['sonoBot'] latest directions in composition have been
prepared by historical events in which Risset plays an important role
08:30 [Kai1111] aha!
08:34 [Kai1111] ^
08:34 ['sonoBot'] organized motion has refined motions
08:34 [Kai1111] ^
08:34 ['sonoBot'] thinking consists of developed shape
08:36 [Kai1111] ^
08:36 ['sonoBot'] current trends in modern composition have been
made possible by historical events in which Arnlod Schoenberg plays
an important role
08:36 [Kai1111] ahhh... gotta sl33p
22:51 [luc`] how does this bot work? does it react to some input?
02:12 [banton] hey guys... so mice are too loud?
02:12 [banton] I had mice in my flat.. I decimated them with traps and
02:13 [banton] by stuffing every hole into the walls
02:15 [banton] so I see you started porting the sono-jargon.. great!
02:15 [banton] so I see you started porting the sono-jargon.. great!
02:53 [Kai1111] Ah, yes, m Jansen in Bilderdijkstraat 8 I think... if
you know any other sonogeeks in sgravenhage at the time.... spread the
word, why not...
02:53 [Kai1111] as for mice, well
02:53 [Kai1111] I like them, it's just they're abit noisy digging lately....
02:54 [Kai1111] but I wouldn't put traps.... maybe the japs will put
traps all around when I leave, which is too soon anyway

The 'Social Coding' slogan is great! but is this it? is this the 'facebook of coding'? the 'flickr' of coding? We need something like, for 'casual coding', when one could categorize a 'project'(let) under a title ('physics', arithmetics-tricks, audio-hacks, whatever), you would have your 'friends' and groups, which would be social, and not necessarily 'project related', ie, a 'speech-synth' group, a 'ray-tracing' group, were one would deploy simple lil hacks, there would be a comments or releases, etc... oh well.

זכרונות. לונדון, תשרי 2009, בסוכה של דוד שלי.
Memories. London, in my Uncle's Suka. Sukkot, October 2009, [Tishrey 5770]. .. Late evening. My uncle and I, sitting in the Sukkah, reminiscing. He's telling me about him and my mother being kids, about my mum being a little rascal. We talk about how the world's changed beyond comprehension since he was kid, since I was a kid. About him and my mum scanning ShortWave-radio, to find classical music from Balkan radio stations. Then I recall - I did the same - scanning shortwave-radio, we talked about how the internet's changed the world, both access, and ease of publishing. Morning, I wake up, my head full of vivid memories of childhood and the 'media', last-night's talk did the thing. I think I'm eight year old, it's the mid 1980's; Me and my friend Doron, publish a (very-local!) newspaper. We write 2 short fiction-stories, a quiz, a maze, draw a centre-fold poster of some monster, and promote our new radio-show. We write it together, then copy 10 copies, by-hand. I recall being very pleased about how the monsterboy centrefold looks different of each and every copy. Then we hand the copies, each at thier own school, to friends. We've made three-monthly-issues I think. I especially remember the style of the centrefold drawing, and how we developed it together, each copying the other's drawing. Our radioshows: So we had this radio, and I had a microphone, I used to scan shortwave-radio for hours and hours as a kid, mostly on saturday mornings, I would sit with my headphones, listen to the 'flying-saucer' sounds go across when turning the dial. then I started playing with the microphone feedback. then I started recording them. Later-on, the young mr. Falke joined me, we started interviewing one-another, tell stories, I would always cut into the sound-effects, and sometimes put on a Jean-Michel-Jarre tune from my mother's collection... come to think of it, it was kindof a 'proper radio show', considering we were 9 or 10 at the time. We couldn't broadcast it, so we would make copies on a doublecassette, and distribute it in class, sometimes I would use the doublecassette to play in double-speed (the copying option), and record the double-speed-Jarre tune with a microphone, playing with some mic-location and room-sound... Our magazine promoted the radio-show, and vice-versa. I recall not making enough copies of the radioshows, lacking cassettes, and probably collecting tapes, and overtaping the next-shows. I really wonder whether I could find one of these show in my mum's Boydem. London, 2009 again. My uncle and I tell stories about people surviving the war; admittedly what you call holocaust stories. Talk about the neighbourhoods where each of us grew up, and how much Yiddish was being heard. I was still hearing lot's of poor kids shouting Yiddish, three month ago.

Ajay uses a real nice opening prayer, noting it's from the Kurma Purana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurma_Purana(couldn't locate it there...), quoting prayer sheet his sheet: I'd love to find it in context, and read it... and find translations... I'll go ask him. Jeevamani bharajath phana | The common soul (jeeva) shines like an emerald on the head of the snake Sahasra vidruth vishwambara | Which has a thousand heads and is all-pervading Mandalaya ananthaya | with three circles, unlimited Nagarajaya namaha | King of Snakes, I pay respect to you Abahu purushakaram | Manifest in human form Shanka chakrasi darinam | Bearing the conch and the wheel Sahasra shirasam shwetam | With a thousand snow-white heads Pranavami Patanjalem | I surrender to you, Patanjali ( this is weird, "Pranavami", vs "pranamami" in the KP Jois text?, why Patanjalem not Patanjalim? sounds like 'older' sanskrit, could be) Gurubhyo namaha | I pay respect to the guru Devatabhyo namaha | I pay respect to the divine adepts. http://www.ashtanga.org/shala/prayer.shtmlhttp://www.houseoflucas.com/rob/chants.htm
