Hi, I'd like to announce a new project.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------> psworld is a modification of the utility, 'ps', found on all UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems. ps is used by people and programs to quickly sort and print a table of processes running on a computer. psworld maps these processes onto visual features in the world, creating a perceptual dependence between a computer and the world around it. As the computer's visible surroundings change, the instability of the operating system increases. An example: The computer running psworld is in a park watching a bird in a tree. If the process 'Firefox' is attached to the bird's head and the bird suddenly flies away, the Firefox process will be terminated on the computer. Similarly, a breakfast scene may include many processes attached to various edibles on the table. As breakfast is eaten, dependent processes on the computer will be terminated. A breakfast is an example of a highly unstable environment whereas a concrete wall deep underground, cast in even light, is not. Here is a project page for psworld, including source code, images and video. http://julianoliver.com/psworld psworld will later become part of a suite of aberrant and impractical tools known as The GNU Luserland Utilities. //<--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading, -- Julian Oliver home: New Zealand based: Berlin, Germany currently: Berlin, Germany about: http://julianoliver.com ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
