my color scheme for NeoOfficing

jake elliott suggested i change my color scheme of my main text editor which in the case of the Media Art Histories wryting that i am currently engaged in is NeoOffice. Kim Cascone then asked me on Facebook to see what that looks like so i have posted this img above here... as i previously also Twittered, Jake's suggested color scheme comes to him via tamas kemenczy + it has already helped me reduce my eye-strain + headacheyness that i was experiencing over the last few daze of constant wryting/reading... so thnx agains yawl!

"i know, LOL" - Jake Elliott + Nicholas O'Brien (2008)

yesterdaze Jake Elliott + Nicholas O'Brien created a short-lived Twitter Art project/account which has now "been suspended due to strange activity". i immediately Tweeted about it calling it Twitter Art, LOL.ART or webArt but Twitter calls it "spammy behavior."

Following the now suspended accout takes you to a standard explaination of why the account may be suspended. The reasons incl "If you are sending large numbers of @reply messages that are not genuine replies, you may be considered spam."

Their project, called "i know, LOL" was an account by the same name which was based on the Twitter API + listened for ppl saying "LOL" + then automatically replied to those Twitter users, saying "i know, LOL!"

what interests me here is that these (automated) replies were "not genuine" from the perspective of Twitter + that this form of Twitter Art, LOL.ART, webArt, New Media Art, etc... can so easily be understood/interpreted as "spammy behavior."
