The source code is available if you want to compile the oracle for your own use. It's not supposed to act like a content producer for online posting, aka bot, so I'll probably stop quoting it from now on.

For those of poor sight, yes. For the rest of us, I'm afraid there are some who agree with this, but personally I don't like my interfaces to make sounds as communicative signals, partly because I work with sound a good deal of the time, and partly because it is disturbing. Nor am I willing to raise my voice to communicate with a machine. With animals, yes, because the interchange with a conscious being may always be worthwhile.

Things already make sounds when there's a reason for it, indexical sounds such as the speeding fan of the laptop indicating some process making heavy use of the processor, or the noise of a boiling kettle of water which indicates when the temperature is about right, if you pay attention to it. Those naturally occuring "interfaces" are quite enough for me.

Five years have past since last time I was here and I suspect there has been an influx of users. Meanwhile I've settled more on the smolweb and gemini. Anyone here using it?

You find me at:

also mirrored on the web.

As for academic publishing, I hope you support this initiative for open access:

Being an ex-academic myself I have not failed to notice how locked-in much research is. Post your pre-print to an archive and make your results useful to the larger society!

Thanks! I'm mostly doing linocuts, sometimes woodcuts and other kinds of prints. I like how the technique of relief prints forces you to consider the visual composition. But having worked with computer animation and sound synthesis I also enjoy the simplicity and robustness of these old and proven techniques.

Hello World!

I'm not a programmer, nor do I come from twitter, so forgive me if I find no use for the hashtag here (I only use it when talking to the preprocessor). However, this is an

introduction.

I'm a composer, but I also do animations, relief prints and some writing. Curiosity brought me here, and possibly also the promise of being able to post equations should I ever need to.
