4520 (Hang on to your Emotions)

When your imagination has too much to say
When the chill of the night meets the sweat of the day
And you have trouble understanding what other people have to say
You’d better

Hang on to your emotions

When a demagogue inside your head has taken charge
And by default what you say or do is criticized
And this litany of failures is recited a thousand times
You’d better

Hang on to your emotions

Could it be you’ve never felt like that
That your mind’s a cage – inside the cage a cat
That spits and scratches all it can get at
And that’s you
And your emotions
Could it be you’ve never felt like that
Your mind’s a cage – inside the cage a rat
Rabidly trying to get it
You

And your emotions
You and your emotions

When your imagination has too much to say
When that facile voice inside your head says give your life away
You might think to ask – how it got that way
What books it has read – that make it that way
And where it got the right – to speak to anyone that way
You’d better

Hold on to your emotions
Hold on to your emotions

When a night city’s breeze blows across the room
And a 5 am moon and sun start their swoon
You hear your lover’s breath
And not a moment too soon
You get to

Release all your emotions

This is an opportunity to meet people working with or interested in Solid, an open specification to create a Linked-Data-System / a Server / a Social Networking Platform / Web OS that respects your privacy. In the form of a webinar the monthly progress of the project and several proofs-of-concept are presented. See the agenda in the attached eventbrite-link.

Now we have an Solid Example Pod online, that may be used for testing purposes. Pod stands for Personal Online Datastore and is like a secure webpage where you can store any kind of data and are the legal owner of your stuff, protected by the laws that apply in the country the Pod-Provider operates.

Note, that the example is not completely public for security reasons, but we have a public accessible playground directory/container, that may be used for testing purposes. It will be erased on mondays.

Zum zehnten Geburtstag

after 10 long years at this place it has become a home. we have clear borders between 1 and 0, between yes and no, between (if you want) good and bad and between black and white. but after all, we have millions of colours to choose from for the design of your website. starting with nearly no perspective at all we have worked into a day structure and a full time job. corona is not the topic of this post, but if interested we get tested every week and will get a vaccine in late march or early april. easter is coming and now there’ s a chocolate goodie made of fair trade cacao. but the christian parts of our civilization celebrate the death and rising of jesus christ. as survivor turning into a transcender I remember Erazerhead. parts of our system is public, parts is data siloed and parts is, may, should and must be private. introducing new techniques is a work in progress and the solid web takes shape, slowly but in time. 32 years of the world wide web have seen some things appearing, some vanishing, bubbles in which we live but the whole damned thing still is evolving. protocols are being built on top of existing standards. examining the deeper mechanisms http is made of is a journey which is worth being walked. psychological problems morph into the handling of these with phantasy and imagination, sometimes anger, sometimes silence, sometime relaxation and sometimes action. we surely need phases of doing nothing to make sure we are alive and on the right path. listen to the ones that have no voice. spread hope. be clear. after having seen the dark side we have chosen to help ourselves and the ones that surround us, the nobodies and family and friends. I will fall into a long sleep, once I have reached the next step. and tonight I will open a beer. some thoughts may be lost in translation, but this is a process that is done with a certain mindset, too. disrespectfulness or respect, when appropriate, ambiguity, fainting and acknowledgement of the things we can’ t explain have a right to exist. still learning I greet my friends and neighbours. just ask, can tell a story. innocence and experience (Blake Babies).
