Screening the Past, 20 Dec 2014
Then all the charm
Is broken-all that phantom world so fair,
Vanishes and a thousand circlets spread,
And each mis-shape the other
(Coleridge, cited by Ted Nelson, ‘Dream Machines’, p. 142)

The time between now and Hypertext’s invention is longer than the time between it and the adoption of cuneiform on clay.
xroTook some time garden my notes and todos. Made a small dent in the mountain.
Weirdly this felt in completely equal parts mentally exhausting and just a bit satisfying.
Less satisfying than it should have been.
Lot's of good ideas, that I haven't got around to doing in the last 8 years
researchreisenRight now I am looking at Eastgate https://eastgate.com/ products like #tinderbox and #storyspace. I am fascinated by both products and probably going to give them a try. But like always, are there any alternatives out there, like real ones? I tried to get started with #hyperbole #emacs many times, with little success. I also actually think that for #hypertext, working with a #gui is needed for the experience.
