Instance of hansup, a rusty hubot mostly making (gen) art since last century, living together with wonderful silly people, mumbling to the universe, using a square screen, running my last rounds.

The new silly font applied to a text:

For those interested: it's the text "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" by Carlo M. Cipolla.

Made a new font containing only numbers. There are 316 characters, so numbers 1 to 316.
I can convert all digital texts now to a series of numbers. :)

@y6nH Haha, no, the online fontmaker tool only allowed 316 characters: http://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/#

@gkrnours If you mean that 20 seems like a 2, then it’s not an issue. All the zero’s are just a flat line at the baseline. And for the first 26 characters I removed those lines. So 002 was first __2 and then 2; 020: 2 and then 2 . But 030 still is 3
I admit that by removing any white space between the lines of characters and even make them slightly overlap, the characters flow into eachother and become difficult to read. ;-)

@gkrnours Here's the whole set with some necessary space between characters and lines. ;-)

So enjoy to play my piano. I can't read music, I don't know nothing about songs or notes (yet). But oh, these sounds and these tunes popping up and disappearing again while my hands are jumping and my fingers falling over each other.
I guess slowly I will learn to play properly, but I don't mind to extend this period of absolute random ignorant pure play.

@Metamere Oh, great to hear other prople prefer to improvise too. 👍😄
The only thing that scares me a bit is when people visit and immediately ask ´play something’.
Most of the time they expect a known piece and want to check how good I am.
My improvisations probably won’t convince them… 😁
So I will continue to say that I just got the piano yesterday… 😀

...which makes that by that time it all was known to have happened. At least in one or another sense. Or in some particular way that may have the strangeness of a mist that lifts itself up to show what it never was holding. Like a memory that was erased as to no longer come back.

Gerry snapping himself somewhere at the turn of the century.

That age where random very good friends start to fall away, slowly, one by one.

Now it is Gerry. A mysterious, oversensitive, fragile and most kind human.

RIP

@bit101 Thanks.
It’s slowly sinking in. Me and my old time friends, it’s our turn now.
It’s both unreal and really shocking.
I think I need more silly phone calls to those still around.

Why is Gimp so fucking incomprehensible?

hans,
@hans@mastodon.hansup.be avatar

@ppk Yes, not photoshop, but once you unlearn photoshop addiction, it works just fine. It took some time.
Changing from old automatisms to new habits is sometimes frustrating.
Geduld! 😉

So now I have a piano.

It came on the birthday of my father. He was killed 8 years.

I only saw him playing for a public once. One song. It wasn’t recorded nor filmed. In my head it’s the best performance ever.

So now I have a piano.

Super overview of a forgotten era of pure unlimited webdesign…

I could spend a day looking through these https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/flash-websites

hans,
@hans@mastodon.hansup.be avatar

@bit101 Couldn’t stop myself looking at the whole list. I had some in my head, Relevare, WM Team, Fly guy, Conspiracy games, 2advanced studios, praystation, … they are all there! 😄👍 Super!
Miss some, like a famous version of the MTV site.
But, wow, by kicking out Flash we lost so much joy of design.
Only now maybe html/css/js can do similar stuff.

Another day where @GIMP and @inkscape did a perfect job.

So thank you very very much to all the people making these programs available! 😍 🎉 👍

My computers are officially Adobe free now. :)
