TriadCity Message of the Day 2004-05-15 At the tender age of only four, SmartMonsters' trusty development server has rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. And there it lies, its little feet pointed to the heavens, not even wiggling. Kaput! Dead! An ex-parrot. This is bad news because it'll slow down development until we can fix or replace it. We're unable to QA code before placing it online; and the whole build process is pretty freakin' cumbersome. We're sorry for the inconvenience, and we're really sorry for the expense.

"[...] the computer as literary agent ultimately points beyond narrative and toward ergotic modes -- dialogic forms of improvisation and free play between the cyborgs that today's literate computer users (and their programs) have become. What we need in order to achieve this is not an automated playwright or narrator but simulated worlds with emergent intrigants, interesting enough to make real people want to spend time and creative energy there." -- Espen J. Aarseth, Cybertext (info)
