The time had come for some action. Blogger has decided to remove offsite publishing. A method I have half abided by since launching this blog, where you publish on the google servers and it writes the files to your own server.

Big ups to Eric for converting the design I have had into wordpress in less then an afternoon.

I have tried my best to provide categories that best describe each article. Areas I felt where modul8 is most relevant. I will comb through the articles a bit more in the coming days to make sure that things are indeed assigned as they should be.

More to follow.

Week by week a link floats around where busy bees find new ways to use modul8 without any signal from us other then modul8 itself… as is. The latest chapter in this thread comes from Flash designer Erik Kateborg who has designed a Flash based application that can load twitter feeds into modul8.

The project has two parts. One file that can be dropped into modul8 that will display the twitter feed texts and the other, an external one that allows you to interact with the flash file in modul8 keeping the interface out of view.

Thanks to Le Collagiste for the link to this. At the time of his posting the app was not yet finished but as of yesterday it is available for download.

I recall way back in 2005 when one of the VJs invited to the first edition of the Mapping Festival had an application that allowed people to send text messages that would be incorporated into his live set. This is essentially the same thing but now you can just have access to all of the twitter feeds out there or just have your own tweets displayed. Maybe when you take a break in the back stage you can tell the audience how many shots of vodka you are drinking?

I can also imagine just loading a random twitter feed and then improvising live based on the loaded text by either drawing or downloading images from the internet providing there is a connection where you are doing your gig.

I have a Drum & Bass party coming up and I am looking forward to giving this a swing myself.

I don’t know why I am doing this exactly. Do you? So we have one now and hopefully my collegeues will join in with some French tweets now and then. Feel free to chat us up. I have been looking around a some of the tweet traffic and noticed that its somewhat of a strange line of communication as well. Hmmm.

I use a very simple Nokia phone and apparently it’s so lo fi that I cannot tweet with it. Lillevan keeps on bugging me to get an iPhone and I come up with miraculous arguments against it. Good fun.

Will be in Portugal this week to do a show but support messages will still be answered and I have an interesting project from Köln based VJ’s Bruno Tait.

Until then.
