• You do whatever the fuck you want, and you donʼt give naming it a second thought.

    And then you move on. To the next thing, or you drop out because you did whatever you wanted, and now you donʼt because you want it that way too.

    The people who want to be a painter, a singer, a whatever it is called, they are just following in someone elseʼs footsteps, and oh boy, is there an industry for that.

    Do whatever the fuck you want. You will be the best at it because youʼre the only one who does it.

    There is nothing else.

    Image description: a tweet by divinelydaria.

    saw an inspiring video that said you need to have 4 hobbies.

    create, consume, cavort, commune

    create: bring something to life
    consume: appreciate the art of another
    cavort: move your body daily
    commune: have a community to socialize with

    end image description.

    I think you need hobbies that do all four things but the number of hobbies needed to cover all these needs may vary. Some hobbies pull double/triple duty. Some hobbies can cause repetitive stress injuries so it’s good to have a few different ones that fulfill the same need so you can rotate to get the fulfillment without the carpal tunnel.

    Tumblr really is aging.

    This is true tho.

    I still think about putting together a master list for visual arts and how to work with less damage to ourselves.

    Posture, mark economy, handling, lighting, and so on.

    Iʼve written down a few notes here and there, but I think I should put it all together, old-school curating links and brief explanations for the linkd.

  • „The idea of a “virtual reality” such as the Metaverse is by now widespread in the computer-graphics community and is being implemented in a number of different ways. The particular vision of the Metaverse as expressed in this novel originated from idle discussion between me and Jaime (Captain Bandwidth) Taaffe—which does not imply that blame for any of the unrealistic or tawdry aspects of the Metaverse should be placed on anyone but me. The words “avatar” (in the sense used here) and “Metaverse” are my inventions, which I came up with when I decided that existing words (such as “virtual reality”) were simply too awkward to use.
    In thinking about how the Metaverse might be constructed, I was influenced by the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, which is a book that explains the philosophy behind the Macintosh. Again, this point is made only to acknowledge the beneficial influence of the people who compiled said document, not to link these poor innocents with its results.“

  • Let’s talk about resets

    I had to do one larger one, so I’ll give you the full list. This is basically an undo.

    On Tumblr:

    I had to undo the rename of my tumblr, and went back to Code & Canvas.

    Used XKit Rewritten to replace the tag “mario breskic” with “code and canvas” for my posts.

    On social.mariobreskic.de:

    Renamed the “mario breskic” tag to “code and canvas” in WordPress.

    Replaced the links to mario-breskic.tumblr.com with codeandcanvas.tumblr.com using phpMyAdmin

    UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, ‚mario-breskic‘, ‚codeandcanvas‘) WHERE post_content LIKE ‚%mario-breskic%‘;

    Replaced the string “Mario Breskic” with “Code & Canvas” but only in posts tagged “code and canvas” using phpMyAdmin

    UPDATE wp_posts p
    JOIN wp_term_relationships tr ON p.ID = tr.object_id
    JOIN wp_term_taxonomy tt ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id
    JOIN wp_terms t ON tt.term_id = t.term_id
    SET p.post_content = REPLACE(p.post_content, ‚Mario Breskic‘, ‚Code & Canvas‘)
    WHERE p.post_type = ‚post‘
    AND t.name = ‚code and canvas‘
    AND p.post_content LIKE ‚%Mario Breskic%‘;

    Struck the previous changes from my changelogs on my websites and added a note that I have done so.

    Made link changes on my homepage and on my bento.me, too.

    Same with other socials with more link options, like Artstation, Bēhance, Facebook.

    I used an AI (Copilot) to write the SQL for me.

    All in all, this should get me to at least 80% of the reset. There might be something I’ve overlooked but this is alright for now.

    As resets go, this one has been smooth.

    I think I’ll grab a splatbook and sit down with a cup of caffeine‑free coffee.

  • Had to reset my tumblr’s name. Since I have a few automations in place, like backing up relevant social media posts to several places, I am glad an AI wrote the SQL I needed for that. #buildinpublic
