Komninos's Cyberpoetry

<komninos> |
sure m,
|
| [12:46] |
<cough> |
K. what software packages in particular do you encourage them to work with?
|
| [12:46] |
<komninos> |
the cyberstudies major grew from our creative writing program
|
| [12:47] |
<mikelleher> |
my pet phrase for the web, which I suppose speaks to a continuum, is "placeless place"
|
| [12:47] |
<komninos> |
freeware
|
| [12:47] |
<komninos> |
all freeware and as much freeware as they can get their hands on
|
| [12:47] |
<cough> |
since I know of none, is there any place you recommend I go to find some?
|
| [12:47] |
<komninos> |
www.tucows.com
|
| [12:47] |
<Hiccup> |
cough. . .
|
| [12:48] |
<cough> |
I'll try it, thanks
|
| [12:48] |
<Surd> |
yes, tucows is great
|
| [12:48] |
<aya> |
i have used 'cosmoworlds' in two vrml projects. unfortunately, the cosmoplayer plug-in is no longer available (i think...)
|
| [12:48] |
<komninos> |
mikelleher i call cyberspace a metaphor for metaphor
|
| [12:49] |
<mikelleher> |
yeah, you can't get away from levels...
|
| [12:49] |
<mikelleher> |
of meaning...code...representation....
|
| [12:49] |
<mikelleher> |
and there's this feeling of enormity....
|
| [12:49] |
<komninos> |
yes it is, if you go to www.holo-x.com there is an alternate link to a site you can get the cosmoplayer from
|
| [12:49] |
<Surd> |
also, you know, you can find pretty much all commercial packages available freely on the Web.
|
| [12:49] |
<Hiccup> |
m &K: is one abstract, the other less so?
|
| [12:50] |
<DavidKnoebel> |
aya, cosmo is back. Try www.cosmosoftware.com, or www.cai.com
|
| [12:50] |
<komninos> |
www.cosmosoftware.com isn't up any more though
|
| [12:50] |
<mIEKAL> |
those are the urls I want to know Jim
|
| [12:50] |
<Surd> |
But you must troll through a cesspool to find them.
|
| [12:50] |
<mikelleher> |
like it all exceeds whatever word/idea you might use to describe it
|
| [12:51] |
<Hiccup> |
can't be conceptualized
|
| [12:51] |
<Surd> |
search warez, crack, application name
|
| [12:51] |
<komninos> |
sure if we could define it it wouldn't be interesting
|
| [12:51] |
<aya> |
spazz3d was a great little tool, i had a beta version. great for ease of text style manipulation
|
| [12:51] |
<mikelleher> |
hic -- maybe not, though I can at least as movement, though I don't really know what that means
|
| [12:52] |

<DavidKnoebel> |
www.cosmosoftware.com is working; I just tried it.
|
| [12:52] |

***Mamun has left #defib

| [12:52] |
<komninos> |
thanks david, do you know if they ever made the cosmoworlds software public as they said they would?
|
| [12:53] |
<DavidKnoebel> |
not yet.
|
| [12:53] |
<komninos> |
i love vrml
|
| [12:53] |
<komninos> |
don't know why it slowed down
|
| [12:53] |
<DavidKnoebel> |
maybe never. Got lost in the change of SGI-Platinum-CAI
|
| [12:54] |
<Loss> |
doesn't vrml require a lot of programming?
|
| [12:54] |
|

<elizabeth> |
Good bye all, have to go, thanks.
|
| [12:54] |
<mikelleher> |
got to go folks, ciao!
|
| [12:54] |
<DavidKnoebel> |
If you have a package like spazz3d, its pretty easy
|

Thanks for coming, Mike.
|
| [12:54] |
<komninos> |
active worlds and eduverse are interesting applications of vrml, 3d chartrooms where you can create your own space
|
| [12:55] |
|
***mikelleher has quit IRC (QUIT: User exited)
|
| [12:55] |
<aya> |
loss - cosmoworlds is pretty good software for vrml. i can't code in vrml, but have made 2 worlds.
|
| [12:55] |
<DavidKnoebel> |
www.spazz3d.com As aya said, you can use it free for awhile
|
| [12:55] |
<komninos> |
http://www.activeworlds.com/
|
| [12:55] |
<aya> |
but vrml is not longer supported by SGI, xml is the next thing.
|
| [12:56] |
<PbN> |
Well, great chat, folks, and Komninos, all best -- C U in the cyberstream...
|
| [12:56] |
<DavidKnoebel> |
Shout and blaxxun make players that'll run VRML without a plugin
