data unblocked

It just got much easier to move data from my work computer to the world wide internets; I got a USB flash drive.

The exact technological circumstances I live in have major effects on my compositional choices. This change will surely resound in ways unseen.

The last change was getting VoodooPad working (thanks to Kyra for serial number transferage). VoodooPad is some personal wiki software (mac only) that I've been using for a year and a half to organize my thoughts into an interlinked hypertext. I highly recommend it (although that recommendation comes not having explored any alternatives).

Before that started working here I was writing ideas on looseleaf pages and in spiral notecard-notebooks, and that got out of hand quickly; all addition and no substitution (even writing in pencil, I don't formulate, I just take ideas and run with them) makes for a clutter problem I still haven't sorted through a week later. I look to the wiki for sanity.

I don't know yet how I feel about wikis as a collaborative tool; it's been over a year for this xenharmonic wiki and this post-SDAS wiki and neither has a population of eager participants to make it self-sustaining. I go back and forth between blaming myself for insufficient seduction strategies and blaming people for their (apparent) apathy and busyness.
