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.

Playing with my weaving machine.

Here'sanother one. I added the ability to load an image in the background that can be used as a source for the color tones. Nice, but I have so many parameters now, that I should learn a bit to get a grip on them. 🙂

For Linux I like Elementary OS, but the appcenter crashing every single time when there are updates, is getting a bit annoying.

Knitting with the 10 thunders words from finnegans wake. :)

Another one from today's session. I make these by hooking up a midi panel to a processing sketch where I move words or sentences across the screen using of course my silly character fonts.

And, having checked in my latest code... I'm off to the hospital for my scheduled shoulder surgery. :(

Wish me luck!

To shape some of my upcoming writing...

For creatives: What software tools do you like? Why?

For wannabe creatives: What might you create given the time? Including time to learn?

For techies: Any such tooling you're particularly curious for me to explore?

The more answers I get the better!
And feel free to echo these questions back to me.

@alcinnz Gimp and Inkscape and Kdenlive and Processing. Blender might be next. Conscious choice as I wanted to be free from toxic Adobe.
Now really enjoying all these alternatives. For me they are now the default ones.
The people making these free software possible every day are such a blessing.
And I love my own learning curves. I enjoy the time and effort needed. It connects myself automatically with any output I produce.

@holsta @alcinnz It’s wonderful: https://processing.org/ 😄

'Hansup was here' written in my current 4 fonts.

@hans@mastodon.hansup.be avatar

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. :)

hans,
@hans@mastodon.hansup.be avatar

@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. ;-)

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.

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.

hans,
@hans@mastodon.hansup.be avatar

@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.

@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! 😉
