    Quotations

    "Those who travel very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to the straight road, than those who, while they run, forsake it."
    Rene Descartes, Discourse on the Method

    "Lo so che parlo perche' parlo ma che non persuadero' nessuno; e questa e' disonesta' - ma la rettorica mi costringe a forza a far cio' - o in altre parole "e' pur necessario che se uno ha addentato una perfida sorba la risputi"."
    C. Michelstaedter, La Persuasione e la Rettorica

    "Under a darkening sky / The night is falling down on me / And I'm thinking that I should / Head on home / Been gone too long / Leave my roaming"
    M. Knopfler and Emmylou Harris, Beachcombing

    A glimpse at the Flow

    The Flow may seems chaotic, and mainly it is, but it always maintains its own generative force.

    Render Flam3 1.3.6

    24th April 2008

    This version adds some more support to Flam3 new features.

    It now supports the new Interpolation Space tag plus enable_jpeg_comments and enable_png_comments vars.
    Updated Flam3 version checking scheme
    Little changes to the bat file writing routine and some minor code clean-up.

    RenderFlam3 main purpose is rendering a sequence of Flames using Flam3 to create animations.
    It’s an Apophysis script which cycles through the flames in the Title Window,
    sets their time field,
    sets their advanced animation tags,
    saves them all off to a single flame file,
    and then creates a bat file (to the same output path).
    Executing the bat file will launch flam3-animate and render the animation’s frames; Flam3 will interpolate all the flames.
    RenderFlam3 can create Morph, Sheep or Edge animations.

    Growing Consciousness

    23rd April 2008

    By the word thought, I understand all that which so takes place in us that we of ourselves are immediately conscious of it; and, accordingly, not only to understand (INTELLIGERE, ENTENDRE), to will (VELLE), to imagine (IMAGINARI), but even to perceive (SENTIRE, SENTIR), are here the same as to think (COGITARE, PENSER). For if I say, I see, or, I walk, therefore I am; and if I understand by vision or walking the act of my eyes or of my limbs, which is the work of the body, the conclusion is not absolutely certain, because, as is often the case in dreams, I may think that I see or walk, although I do not open my eyes or move from my place, and even, perhaps, although I have no body: but, if I mean the sensation itself, or consciousness of seeing or walking, the knowledge is manifestly certain, because it is then referred to the mind, which alone perceives or is conscious that it sees or walks.

    What a Wondeful World

    23rd April 2008

    Are we really sure that we’re living in a wonderful world?

    We’ve still to fight using the power of non-violent ideas, we’re all sharing the same destiny, all brothers, during the short trip of our Earth-living.

    Music by Joey Romones cover of Louis Armstrong “What a Wonderful World” masterpiece.

    I see trees of green…….. red roses too
    I watch ‘em bloom….. for me and for you
    And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world.

    I see skies of blue….. clouds of white
    Bright blessed days….warm sacred nights
    And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world.

    The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
    Are there on the faces…..of people ..going by
    I see friends shaking hands…..sayin’.. how do you do
    They’re really sayin’……I love you.

    I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow
    They’ll learn much more…..than I’ll never know
    And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world

    The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
    Are there on the faces…..of people ..going by
    I see friends shaking hands…..sayin’.. how do you do
    They’re really sayin’… I ….LOVE….YOU.

    I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow
    You know their gonna learn
    a whole lot more than I’ll never know
    And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world
    Yes I think to myself …….what a wonderful world.

    Supporting the Earth Day!
    It’s quite clear that everyone should give his own small support for a better and ecological-compatible use of the Earth’s resources.
