Point of privilege

God is Creator.

Creator is Artist.

Art is Experience.

Experience is Memory.

Memory is Storage.

Storage is Human.

Human is Individual.

Therefore, you are a cache of art.

Furthermore, you are the result of an artistic process.

Therefore, you are art itself.

The artist who is creating you is God.

Choose to yield to the Artist, or choose to be cast away.

Blacksmith

I put together this graphic - it's a composite of images from the area where my ancestor had his blacksmith workshop for the King Ranch in Kingville. Today, on that spot is the King Ranch Henrietta Memorial Museum or something like that. Not sure of the official name. Anyway, the graphic is an ode to the past. Kind of a chiascuro effect.

Stretch

This will become something else.

Vim-deo

Put up a video at Vimeo a few days ago. Just a bit of messing around with Vermona DRM1mkii. Was mainly running a sound-quality comparison with YouTube. Vimeo wins - easily. Kind of makes me anxious to put up some audio-visual pieces...

...and also to fabricate and/or program a non-step-sequencer. Not sure how I will do that. On the one hand, doing a hardware PIC-based version would be great for keeping my assembly language chops up, but otoh, a C# program that renders to MIDI file would be good for other sorts of practice.

I think I will work on music and videos for a while and since the new FL Studio (8) is satisfactory in the interim. Now that laptop is around, I have a free platform for rendering some Premiere/AfterFX work.

Here's the vid...

Work sum

Mainly focusing on plans for the remaining months of the contract's first term. Taking some ITIL-derived documents and activities, and elaborating on them to extract a customer-agnostic list of IM/IT processes. We will then take the processes and procedures we have been provided and do a cross-check to see what our current inventory looks like relative to a possible to-be model. Also, still trying to get the project rolling in EAC, and may end up attending some EAC-specific training with the heads of state as it were. • Also, looking at visualization and navigation options for making surfable maps of BP/BPR. Possible extensions in the future to provide a place for trend analysis etc. • Apparently still on the hook for realtime IT dashboard. The service desk software must be gently excised from the enterprise. Maybe that is possible after all the trouble (downtime) it caused this past week. I hope so. It would open the door for SOA efforts which are more aligned to upper echelon requests for net-centricity.
