today has been a very interesting day
it started after i have fallen into a weird youtube-video algorithm some days ago where people created videos in the style of opinion essays and most of them ignited a weird feeling of existencial dread inside of me.
mainly it started with with the video titled "The Persistence of Decay"(1) by Sarah Davies Baker(2) and following this video came other like "to be loved is to be understood, but to be human is to change"(3) by oliSUNvia(4) and "'you don't owe anyone anything' yes you do"(5) by Curiouser and Curiouser with Leonie Dams(6) and many more (for which i probably need to make a playlist).
in addition the first video(1) also let me remember about a playlist i have on youtube in which some videos have been deleted and how in todays world you mostly do not own many things you consume, like movies on netflix, music on spotify and many, many more.
and this makes me surprisingly sad and reminded me that archive music i do in fact own. i really want to do that more, probably also download more music, buy more music, but also how i want to try to buy more physical media, be it in the form of a book, a booklet, a cd or something else.
what makes it even worse and a little bit bitter, is that as someone who studies archaeology and is really interested in textile and woll usage in the neolithic and pre-history in europe and the near east is that "almost all organic material vanishes" and i know that you can counter that today very much but at the same time it is a complicated and complex to do correct and over a very long time, and that preserving knowledge can be harder than expected, especially when it is knowledge that appears unimportant or outdated, even if those attributes makes this knowledge even more important to preserve.
Today has been not an eventful day.
But I did at least change the style.css file for this feels blog a little bit, so that it now uses my own style instead of the default style.
Added a /survival page to my website in which I write a little bit about various Survival Games/Mods.
today has been a fairly good day, even if it was a fairly boring one.
Watched some videos from Cambrian Chronicles(1) about King Arthur(2,3) and spend way to long to find the picture of him on a horse, which was then trivially found on the Wikipedia article(3) about him.
Additionally I also added pictures and short descriptions for my (technically my families) cats, which you can find under /cats. Maybe I will add more pictures of them, which I converted from the jpg files with ImageMagick(4) into wepb files and reduces there size, so I would neither put files that are way to big for tilde.town (I want to be nice) and makes the website fairly fast to load, as both images together are just 245.1 kB big, even as both files have the sizes of 1000x750.
I thought about many different things today...
But most importantly I remebered an idea i had during decadv(1) (which I did in private only for me) about using haiku(2) and how to structure it in a tree-like structure and maybe now is the time for me to get woking on this silly little idea. I probably want to use javascript and writing an custom element for it, for the tree structure and the haiku by themself.
Yesterday I started to try to use Inform7 on tilde.town to play with it a little bit. Sadly it did not work and crashed by Segfault. Because if this I have switched to useing Inform on my personal PC and "created" (I just made it very very very barebones) project to play in the next days with.
Else I have been playing more videogames in the last weeks and after watching one to many Youtube Videos about archaeology and thinking about the neolitic, ironn-age and middle age, I feel the itch to play Skyrim again, which I hopefully will do.
Had a very hard day working today.
Sorted daub1 today for a university course and we found a fragment of a jaw (I do not know from what animal) and at the end of the day I had to travel by public transt around two hours to get back home. And then the busses did not drive, so I had to walk 2.5 km in the snow.
Else I did not got to do many things.
Bought some videogames on the 1st of January and since then I have played 2/4th of them. Is fun, even if it seems like some achievements of one of those games are a little bit bugged and don't want to work over steam, but it is just a minor annyance. Thinking about what to program and working more on my public tilde webbsite, so a lil bit digging into webdesign, etc. for me. Additionally some university work still needs to be done. Hope that will not take more time then I hope.
