A Good Imagination and a Pile of Junk

This is going to be the working homepage going forward for the HugeHonkinConsole project.

The HHC project is a pie in the sky project I’d brainstormed back in the day. The original post (which is a bit dreamy in it’s scope) is here.

The idea is that I want a central information resource that is primarily a server based application which is very active in aggregating different types of information which then digests and represents it in an easy to consume format.

There are an awful lot of additional facets, but that’s the one I’m focused on now. I’ve started (again) building a prototype based on a simple RSS reader and I’m adding some abstractions to it so that it can support a bunch of disparate data formats.

We’ll see.

Yep. Been busy. The market’s driving me batshit. I’m barely up on the week, but I seem to be getting my chops back.

I’ve been working on a few programming projects and a couple writing ones. The WordPressWikiPlugin is coming along nicely.

I’m back on the HugeHonkinConsole project too. It’s not quite as lofty as it was back in the day. But I just can’t seem to get around the need for a PersonalDesktopServer application.

One of my favorite things to do is go to a bar with a notebook, and take notes on my surroundings. Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on transcribing my notes from the last few years. Normally I don’t have trouble reading the chicken scratch that is my handwriting. But when you factor in to that the fact that I was completely lit while taking most of those notes then, well… it’s very slow going.

It’s going to be a LONG time before any of that sees the light of day. This phase is merely transcription. Once that’s well and done I’m going to start fleshing it out and probably fictionalizing it a bit. I can’t see what I’d do with several hundred separate characters.

I’ve started the “intake” process at a psychoanalytic institute. Unfortunately that takes quite some time (a few weeks of separate interviews and appointments.) So we’ll see how that goes. It’s just a good thing to have finally crossed the line and started that moving again. Too much of my life is just unraveling before my eyes.

Now if only I could afford to start dating again I’d be in good shape. But perhaps it’s best I can’t for now. *shrug*
