New Site

My research is now in a new site. All the old stuff that used to live at vogmae.net.au/drupal is now gone and lives somewhere inside vogmae.net.au/research. So, research and projects and teaching by Adrian Miles now at http://vogmae.net.au/research. Some gaps but being filled.

Bookmarks for December 3rd through December 8th

These are my links for December 3rd through December 8th:

  • Klickable – New service that lets you add clickable hotspots to video. When clicked little frame appears over lower part of video with urls in there. I think it will work with already hosted video services….
  • Videochronic — EngageMedia – Book about activist's use of video in Indonesia.
  • Army of YouTube: Rosemary Heather – Article about YouTube and contemporary art practice.
  • Typekit – real fonts on real web pages – Not sure what it is exactly but think it is a service that lets you add or include real fonts with webpages so you have the ability to use the specific fonts you want in web design.
  • Studies in Material Thinking No. 3. – Most recent issue of this journal. Collection of essays on image and practice led research.

Projects

Well, I’m in the thick of several self initiated projects right now. One involves the rebuilding of my videoblog site. This is progressing well and will be available shortly, though I won’t have migrated all the content across. Another is the development of a new writing project, again in Tinderbox and exported to HTML, which is where I want to develop some ideas. It is informal, blog like, writing but I don’t want the serial structure of a blog. It will be closer to what Mark calls a Fagerjordian structure for precisely the reasons he outlines. There’s a lot of good stuff in my blog, but I never find it, read it, see it. Hardly anyone else does either. This is not a problem of categories or tags. If I use lots of tags then I still can’t find stuff, because the tags are either too specific so I have to scratch and peck through too many, or I only use a few and then it becames a case of trawling through hundreds of entries. And that’s describing me trying to find stuff so how would anyone else? This is probably a generic problem with blogs. They’re great for reflection, for serialised content production and distribution, but they aren’t so good at being a usable archive. Finally, there’s the video project that I’ve started using Korsakow.

The video project is online, the other two should be up in early form next week.

Afterthought. I knew there was another project. I’m moving all my research content that currently sits in a Drupal installation to something much simpler and more lightweight. That one is also nearly finished and will be live real soon now too.
