Commercial advertising submissions (are these automated or do real persons actually enter them?) grew so "bad" that I shut down the guestbook submission form in late April 2006, in hopes of discouraging them from continuing to spam me. You can still send me email at: bradmcc@cloud9.net

Also, if I had it to do over again, I would not have displayed submitters' email addresses in their postings, for the reason explained in posting #529.

From: Ken Moore (ken@mooremusic.org.uk)

I'm not convinced that full APL is suitable for large scale parallel computation. Two points need to be addressed:

1) Define a function A with one argument, delivering a value. Within the function B write the expression A - Q. Call B from within two higher functions, F and G; F has a local variable A and G has not. When B is called from F, A is the value of F's local variable and "-" is dyadic; when it is called from G, A is the function, taking - Q as its argument, and "-" is monadic. Thus B cannot be compiled, since its syntax varies with its position in the program flow.

2) The most elegant solution for the race problem in massively parallel computer systems is functional programming. A "fascist" version of APL which forbade reassignment of values to an identifier might be possible, but would be very different from what we know and love.

Mozilla Firefox is very happy with this page AFAIK. Of course, at this stage I don't know whether it will arrive.

I used APL in a large bank during the 1980's and I became a friend of Jim Brown, one of APL main developer within IBM. Since then, we lost contact. I'm looking for a good version of APL for Windows for private (retired) use. I know there were IBM (APL/PC) and IPSharp versions in the 90's. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of these? And where I can contact Jim Brown?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Just letting you know that guestbook entries/variations on words such as: "mugu" "Guyman" "Guymen", "keep off" "keep offffff" signify that a lame Nigerian Scammer has targeted the messageboard/guestbook for email harvesting for SCAM emailling ( Nigerian 419 Scams) and Phising Attempts; all the spam we know and hate.

Thanks very much!

Dear Brad (may I?),

I[...] want to double check a quote which is supposed to come from The Spell. Hermann Broch (1886-1951):

Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.

As yet I don't know which chapter this comes from. I read your website on Hermann Broch and his son with great interest[....]

Brian,
You have amassed an impressive amount of ramblings on your website. I got here by some convoluted, choose your own adeventure web search on "moving beyond post-modernism". I appreciate your philosphical musings, surely in motive if not always in content. I am currently a 22-yr old graduate student in the biological sciences, but have never lost the taste for liberal arts, especially the most free art of philosophizing. In your essay "Avoiding Ambivalence" you say near the beginning that:

"There are many social customs and attitudes which foster the production of ambivalent situations, e.g.: "You wouldn't appreciate the good things if you had never experienced anything bad"...

I am not sure if this has to do specifically with the topic of ambivalence, but I would just like to hear more about your specific discount of this "social custom". I appreciate the idea that we would all enjoy living pain-free lives with only good things happening to us, and that it should be an ideal if not THE ideal of our society to realize this. However, I am having trouble envisioning a society with "flattened quality of life" (I hope those words I cobbled together convey what I mean). This is likely a simple problem with my vision, but sensation seems largely comparitive and relative. Is appreciation a necessary component of good or happy? If so, then it seems to me that appreciation requires perspective. Or as the saying goes "You have to take the good with the bad." Please know that these questions attempt to foster conversation over defensive argument. Of course if you know of any good, or bad :) , literature discussing this concept I would most appreciate the guidance.

Sincerely moving beyond post-modernism,
Luke

This posting led me (BMcC) to the following news article: "(AP [Jan 9, 2006; Filed at 1:10 p.m. ET]) FORT SUMNER, N.M. A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire. Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it. 'I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house,' Mares said from a motel room Saturday. Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the house. No was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed."

Ambivalence is designed to produce intelligence.
Rather than deciding, one must bind their dislikes into metaphor.

Our likes are all the same in structure. It is our dislikes that differ and lead us into places that foster growth and experience.
