each image can be cut up into fragments — these fragments can be enlarged
to make entire pages (or shrunk down to illegible graphic elements — images
word becomes image —
i want the text to be organized in pages — i don’t want a text that scrolls —
but what i want to do requires links — what i want to do requires web technology —
should i make all the pages into jpg images and then make a ‘backing’ html page that displays the image
what about links — (i could/should write what i’m planning here — diversions convolutions complications)
can i make a web page grid with the jpg as a background and then put links on top of the image
i’ve been planning a page that is 16x27 units — not quite a golden ratio —
most pages would be divided into 3 columns based on approximate golden ratios —
3 columns (cf Derrida) 10 units 6 units 10 units and one unit for the gutters
so the outer columns would be 10 units x 16 units = 5x8
form is more important than content
this is obviously impossible — so i should just give it up — or — should i just give it up —
or should i just go ahead and make as many pages as possible because i want my ideas ‘published’
(while i perish — i’m not sure at what pace)
so step back — what do i have — i have years of writing i call notes — sometimes i think they’re all shit —
sometimes i think there are some good things — but what i think changes each time i look at them
the origins of the notes — origins are not locatable in space/time —
i started a sequence of notebooks on 4/27/77 so i have 42 years of notes —
the form is more important than the content but i want to use the content of the notes —
(have i wasted my life writing notes — what does it mean to waste time) —
because i think i should use them — that i should publish them — as an example of something
maybe — an example of not being able to write — analysis paralysis — an example of — it doesn’t matter)
