10:21 am	smash a: i heard the crash and tinkle at about 1am (i sleep with the window open when it's snowing so summer nights are an open soundbook to me) b: i got up to check it wasn't one of my flowerpots fallen (not that it sounded like it, too far and too glassy, but once the idea was in my head i needed to check) c: this mornin on way to swimmin pool saw the window opposite the front door smashed, assumed someone cruel or distraught had hoiked a brick through it, and felt sad d: realised i had forgot my cozzie -- still on line w.towel -- and turned back to find my downstairs neighbour gazing at the star-smash in the window e: we realised as we discussed it that my hearing (tinkle of glass falling far onto stone) and the remaining evidence (glass on the sill) seemed to prove that something had come through through it from the inside! f: still unrepaired when i got back from swimming -- from my front room looking down i see it is a downstrairs bedroom -- WHAT WENT ON?

3:01 pm	"Anglo-Saxon compromise foot of 1959" The politics of measure IS OBJECTIVELY INSANE: The new digital foot and the anglo-saxon foot maintain the exact ratio 49 to 48. However, the current definition of the anglo-saxon compromise foot, 1959 is contested. The correction factor fc is : Ten digital chains divided by 640 idealistic digital feet: thus, the English foot – in its new scientific definition – is about 0. 000 854 % larger than the inconsistent anglo-saxon compromise foot of 1959, with its exact 304. 8 mm. The idealistic Roman foot equals 35 × 840 × 10080 = 296, 352 000 nm. The idealistic English foot equals 36 × 840 × 10080 = 304, 819 200 nm. The idealistic digital foot equals 100 × 1728 × 1728 = 298, 598 400 nm. The digital foot already exists : This is the Viennese foot! When in 1990 M. Florencetime defined the digital foot, he ignored the Viennese foot. However, the cathedral of Vienna possesses two related, public standards of length: the linen ell 896 mm and the drapery ell 776 mm, like it measured Franz Twaroch, an Austrian engineer who demonstrated how the drapery ell is related to the linen ell. This linen ell is obviously deduced from the raw Nippur cubit, via Greek measures. (...) Self-evidence: all hypothetical speculations of a former deduction of the Viennese foot itself by the circumference of the Earth are unfounded, would be pseudo-scientific.

10:16 am	see it's like that time i looked up aporia So I've been rereading Derrida on Levinas, "Violence and Metaphysics", which I first read more than 20 years ago and BACK THEN DIDN'T FOLLOW A WORD OF. (I had it in my head as "wtf this is beyond me: example number one"...) This time: not so hard. AT ALL. Except crashing into various technical usages which i am too dumb to look up. Back then there was nowhere to look them uop: now there is the whole internet (fsvo "whole" -- ie the bits on the internet about husserl) Anyway, I cracked and googled 'husserl horizon', to disocver that (a) by "horizon" Husserl means something like "context" (and so presumbly does JD), and (b) here is an essay on husserl vs rorty: who will win? which is surprisingly easy to follow and engagingly put, and gave me a grand idea about epochs of metaphor (2 Comments |Comment on this)
