Michael Orr, palingEnesia
Posted by cornpone in linkFilter 69 days ago

Michael Orr's palingEnesia escapes easy definitions. ARe these works blueprints for 'pataphysical machines? Innovations in rubber stamp art? Secretive messages in a new visual language? They are all that and much more. palingEnesia represents a new kind of synthesis betwen visual poetry, abstract comics and collage art. Completely analog in origin, palingEnesia interrogates the boundaries berween the literary and visual arts in a unique and deeply personal way.

RSS support partially released
Posted by potatono in linkFilter 110 days ago

It's taking me a lot longer than expected to get RSS import tools working as gear. Rather than wait for all those pieces to be in place I went ahead and released the RSS output for sectors. Look in the upper right corner of the sector banner to find the link.

Next Release: RSS In and Out
Posted by potatono in linkFilter 133 days ago

I'll be continuing on the modernization and quality of life improvements here before returning to any RPG elements. Next up is support RSS feeds for both reading in posts to sectors as well as allowing linkFilter to integrate into RSS readers.

RSS Inbound

The next release will allow sector moderators to subscribe their sector to a number of RSS feeds. Only moderators will be able to see these feeds. They will be able to easily convert one or more items in the feed into posts in the sector. I may also add some auto posting ability, since it's still pretty dead around here.

RSS Outbound

All sectors and views will support an RSS output. Authenticated views like Home will include a token to make it easy to include your customized feed in a reader.

Reasons to be Cheerful
Posted by Darwish in linkFilter 175 days ago

Copied from the about:

"Reasons to be Cheerful was founded by artist and musician David Byrne, who believes in the power of approaching the world with curiosity—in art, in music, in collaboration and in life. Under the banner of Byrne’s Arbutus Foundation, Reasons to be Cheerful embodies this sensibility, applying it now to the future of our world. Through stories of hope, rooted in evidence, Reasons to be Cheerful aims to inspire us all to be curious about how the world can be better, and to ask ourselves how we can be part of that change. "
