Exchange on Circulars 2

[Continuation of last story, paragraph 5. I'm pretty sure we're going to move to two paragraphs each, if that means anything to you... it all seems so sketchy. Dark, dark.]

BKS: I haven’t been too bothered with those aspects of Silliman’s Blog for the mere fact that it would double his time having to respond to the comments, many of which could be vicious flames. I’ve deleted some of the comments on Circulars, in one case because the poster was making scandalous allegations (drugs, child molestation) about the head of an advertising agency, and another because the poster, in American fatwa-esque fashion, deemed that I should have a rocket shoved up my ass. Of course, your point is well taken—Silliman’s Blog could use some real-time play-by-play; I’m sure a diagnostic essay is forthcoming. I did set Circulars up with the intention of there being subsets of discussion on the site, separate groups of people who would engage with each other over some time—“committees” of sorts, with their own story threads. This happened for a brief period—there was a lot of heat generated by one of Senator Byrd’s speeches against the war, and there was a discussion about Barrett Watten’s “War = Language.” I was prepared to develop new sections of the site if anyone so requested, though I confess to being dictatorial about the initial set-up, basically because I know more about the web than most poets and I hate bureaucracy. I was hoping that some of the more frequent poet bloggers who were writing political material would send their more developed writing to Circulars, but most posted to their own blogs without telling me, which was understandable.

Oops, that comment was meant for the post above, not this one! Ugh. Sorry!

Terrific that you're writing this up, as Circulars was clearly the right kind of model for that kind of action, whatever you end up calling it. For what it's worth, the "site" of activity seems more important to me than the "poetics" (or anti-poetics) of it. Implicit poetics or no, the site as flexible resource, point of return in some ways, launch point, as news source and even "warm hearth" for those (like me) reading and writing about the war as it developed and feeling somewhat out in the cold with regard to fellow writers/poets, that draw and currency of the site kept me locked in. I applaud the effort to theorize a poetics that takes those elements of the site (anti, non, or unmarked) into account but hope all the same that the work the site did as real-time presence, as organization, as a kind web-street theater, isn't overlooked in the effort to find or highlight a poetics. Action as interaction, maybe, even if virtual; perhaps more sociology than poetics.

Anyway, glad I caught this, and nice to see things develop as the paragraphs come in.

off-the-cuff, laid-back kind of way, I was lexapro able to come at it without my defenses up, without ambien being as critical or judgemental. It didnt have drugolesy to be sublime - it was fun. It didn't have to lipitor be profound - it was social. I bring this up prozac because over the last several months, I've written viagra something like seven songs straight now where phentermine the music is complete and finished as like I meridia want it, and I don't have the words. And, I've tramadol written a few where the words are to that same adipex point, but although I can hear
music to set ultram them to, it's nothing solid, or it isn't fully Right. That's weird for me

Let's take a moment to reexamine that. What we've done here is create two variables. The first variable is in the Heap, and we're storing data in it. That's the obvious one. But the second variable is a pointer to the first one, and it exists on the Stack. This variable is the one that's really called favoriteNumber, and it's the one we're working with. It is important to remember that there are now two parts to our simple variable, one of which exists in each world. This kind of division is common is C, but omnipresent in Cocoa. When you start making objects, Cocoa makes them all in the Heap because the Stack isn't big enough to hold them. In Cocoa, you deal with objects through pointers everywhere and are actually forbidden from dealing with them directly.

To address this issue, we turn to the second place to put variables, which is called the Heap. If you think of the Stack as a high-rise apartment building somewhere, variables as tenets and each level building atop the one before it, then the Heap is the suburban sprawl, every citizen finding a space for herself, each lot a different size and locations that can't be readily predictable. For all the simplicity offered by the Stack, the Heap seems positively chaotic, but the reality is that each just obeys its own rules.
