    Getting Ready for the Next Pathfinders Traversal

    July 27, 2013 /

    The Electronic Literature Lab is the site where the research for Pathfinders:  Documenting the Experience of Early Digital Literature is taking place.  The project extends the notion of digital preservation by developing a method that captures not just the content of a work of electronic literature but also attempts to recreate the experience readers had when they encountered the work at the time of its publication.  We have selected four artists at this stage of our research:  Stuart Moulthrop, John McDaid, Judy Malloy, and Shelley Jackson.  Each author is asked to come to ELL and, using the vintage Mac on which the work had been originally been read, the artist…

    Upcoming Visitors to ELL

    July 26, 2013 /

    We are hosting two tours of ELL during the month of August. The first is scheduled for the 30+ members of the Seattle Metro Chamber Leadership Trip to SWWA on Thursday, August 1, from 4:00-5:00 p.m.  This event is sponsored by the Columbia River Economic Development Council. The second is a tour of various members of the state and federal legislators on Tuesday, August 13 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. It is such a great opportunity to highlight the work of the department to so many different people.

    The New Addition to ELL

    July 4, 2013 /

    My friend Jeff brought a very nice treat to the lab today: a Kodak DataShow Projection Pad, replete with a cooling fan and the original case. It works with my Apple II GS just fine, and there is some speculation that it is the very first projector a PC.  A good find there! The bad news is that I do not have a vintage projection system for the Classic, as I hoped I would have in time for the Pathfinders traversals, which starts on Tuesday, but Jeff helped me rig up a system involving Apple iSight that is quite workable. Some very good news is that the Classic that Jeff…

    All the Macs Are Back Home

    June 24, 2013 /

    I got my Mac Plus back yesterday from repairs, thanks to my Mac Guru, Jeff, who has been overseeing the health of my Macs for several years.  Our love (okay, obsession) for Macs continues to bind us even after he has moved on from being a student to a full-fledged, well-paid programmer.  He is my go-to guy for all things Mac at the Electronic Literature Lab. The Plus (System Code Name:  “Mr. T”) was produced from January 1986 to October 1990.  Mine was manufactured in 1988, runs System 6.0.3, and has 2K of RAM installed on it.  It came with System Finder 5.1 and could, if pressed, run System 7.5.5,…

    I invited Nathan Stahlman and Jim Voorhies, from Instructional Technologies, Inc. (ITI),  to visit the lab today to show them the computers and talk about the kinds of research we do in ELL.  ITI has been partnering with the CMDC program for the last year and a half, sponsoring our 2D simulation summer study last year and our iPublishing summer study this one.  Since meeting them, they have hired five of our students and Nathan now sits on the CMDC’s Advisory Committee.  But the most important issue to mention about Nathan and Jim is that they are both geeks. So, when they saw the vintage computers, it did get them pretty…
