When I picked up my mom from the hospital they really didn't check my ID to my liking. Seems like anyone could have stolen my mom. But also: potential renewable source of moms?

So RIP Stripcreator / long live Stripcreator. I know it wouldn't have made much of a difference to anyone to anyone if it had just vanished, but as I get increasingly sappy about the old creative DIY web, I'm happy there was a way to have it not vanish forever.

But its time had come. It needed major upgrades that weren’t worth doing. Facing shutdown, I used OpenAI’s Codex to turn it into a static archive and was blown away. It tore through my terrible code and converted 25 years of database entries to flat files so it no longer needed a MySQL server.

The site’s popularity (peaking in 2003 at 84,858 comics created) had been in decline for a long time, but I kept it running. I felt loyal to the community and its history and somewhat proud that this high school dropout’s janky code continued to run.

25 years ago I launched a silly website to make comics called stripcreator.com. It was all hand-coded, learn-as-you-go PHP/MySQL spaghetti code written in the wild west of web 2.0 where such things as dynamically updating images on a webpage were new and exciting. A different time.

A year or so ago I threw one of my songs into it to see what it'd do and it came up with some interesting melody ideas & changes that struck me as "catchy", though it really pushed it towards an EDM sound. Been feeling odd about it ever since.

Reddit - The heart of the internet

On Reddit, people are angry the cover art on a new King Crimson release appears to be AI generated, which Robert Fripp denies. But someone points out their covers going back to 2016 have AI vibes: www.reddit.com/r/KingCrimson/...

Pretty tired of it here as well, cold-related power outage today. Spring can't come fast enough.

Just saw a post with George Clinton citing the Beatles as his favorite band, which reminded me of this quote he once gave me

Love this. I've been reading Lynda Barry's "Making Comics" and it's similarly inspiring: drawnandquarterly.com/books/making...
