antont likes being in gardens, and forest,
but he also needs to work .. so is thinking that a virtual garden might be a nice way to see e.g. project status & development,
viewing code project trunks and branches?
also for UI, a tree can be interesting .. things that bear fruit, have done it and do again,
for example in music (MusicWorld? or PlacE ?) songs and albums - to hear just touch? (pick..)
plan:
port PlanT (EnginE:SoyaPlant) to run on EnginE:OpenSim (OpensimWorlds) or RexWorld?
or? well certainly look at EnginE:OpensimPlant too
.. and reflect, what? things around an
incoming email is certainly one thing, Jani experimented with it now too: http://www.cybertechnews.org/?p=1211
for something like described in Web3:Introduction .. AnGarden meeting OpenSim etc. software projects, was today thinking that perhaps RealWorld? MoneY could be represented as WateR? in the virtual version? job of investors is nice: need to just water the PlanT s they decide to. :o

is an old inspiration, http://packet-garden.en.softonic.com/

01:10 |an| the direction in hypermedia research where i'm coming from,
the Buoyos of Floating World, http://fenfire.org/fenpdf-shot.png
01:10 |ck| Yes. I have seen that. There is also the idea of buildings in a
city growing or shrinking with prices, like the stock market.
01:10 |an| right
01:10 |an| there's a nice city generator script for blender
01:10 |ck| Like an interactive, immersive 3D bar graph of some complex
system.
01:12 |an| i wonder if it boilds down to .. well evolutionary psychology,
even. people are equipped to understand things well from certain
kinds of representations
01:13 |ck| yes, I suspect that is part of it.
.. i figure the other part is just the, eh, nature of things - what complexity in general is, how things can be seen and understood in some simple fashion, what illustrates or describes the structure meaningfully, sensibly, easily?
