@ed1conf celebrating 0xED day today this weekend by scanning through Ed Mastery by @mwl , The UNIX Programming Environment Appending 1 Editor summary, found my copy of bell labs ed written in one C file and scoured to find Software Tools which includes "edit" maybe ed? in ratfor/pascal maybe? Fun times. Thought about making my own version of ed without regexes as I don't really want those. ;)

@neauoire @sigrid thanks to you both for uxn on android. Managed to build and install for my Timex watch (android wear). Going to work on making it a daily-use sms/mms/voice device with a uxn UI. :) Progress will be slow but I will try to get this done. :)

Live Coding: A User's Manual now available as epub, pdf and mobi downloads: https://livecodingbook.toplap.org/#read-the-book

Next week I'm going to do a short performance as part of Hybrid live coding workshop. My performance is going to be called "live coding without anything". I'm going to try live coding myself. Here's my proposal:

"Is it possible to live code without a computer, without even a notation, indeed without anything but a voice?

We know from Polanyi that it is difficult to talk about what is close to us. He calls this close knowledge _tacit_, where "we know more than we can tell". Code is easy to talk about, we can explain what it is and does precisely, and therefore it is _not_ tacit. However, as live coders, we know that code can generate tacit experience, e.g. as live music, cinema or choreography.

The process of listening to running code as it outputs sound, allows us to understand it, and generate tacit knowledge about it as music. Live coding is therefore a process of generating close, tacit knowledge about what distant, explicit code represents, then applying that knowledge in changing the code to see what happens next.

Through my presentation I'll try to follow an explainable, but unwritten code through the recital of syllables, changing the code in response to the tacit experience of the rhythms that are generated."

I think for the syllables I'll use the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
