I should have mentioned yesterday that after the lecture some excellent advice came from students as to how to improve the durian piece (adding sounds—which I was planning to do—and suggestions regarding other kinds of images they thought would work well). All good, and I will certainly be working on the piece some more during the next few weeks.
I spent most of the day working on the eBook (apparently that’s how the form is usually referred to). I’m trying to get a lot of things done at pretty much the same time, and since it will be mass produced, it all needs to be “right,” as changes can’t be made once it goes to press (which makes me a little nervous). Well, I’ve got about three weeks to make it all work, and taking one step at a time. Today was spent editing and re-formatting essays and poems from Technopoetry Rising that will appear in .pdf form on the CD-ROM. If all goes well, tomorrow I’ll create and set up the links in this material from the table of contents. In some ways I am so tired of working with these old materials, and can’t wait to move onto new stuff. But decided to do this project, which will be a fulfilling and positive experience and product in the long run, so plugging away…
