After a long time I’ve taken up the numuseum website. It’s been nagging me for ages that it’s so outdated and not working properly any more. I’m keeping it simple but will be implementing some new things. I want to create a now part (“nu” means now in Dutch) and a museum part. Now always […]

work monitoring
I’ve been working on a Python program today that monitors which application I’m using. For now it’s writing the data with a timestamp to a text file. But of course I want to share this data on numuseum. I’m now researching the use of sockets. As only just discovered that Flash can also work with […]
OOP item list
I’ve finally started building. I’ve made an inventory of all the properties and methods a list of items should have and now I’m building the background. I’m very new to Object Orientated Programming in Flash. So I’m building and learning at the same time. In the pic you see the main background of (in this […]
item views
I’ve just finished my design for all the items views: links, input, sketches, webart, haiku, pictures and projects. It’s consistent enough but not boring. I think it’s quite serene 🙂 One thing I’ve already found out is that I can load auto generated thumbnails from my delicious link straight into flash, it’s so cute to […]
archive interface
After weeks of struggling I’ve had a breakthrough in the numuseum archive interface. The archive will consist of three parts: The items or subjects The timeline The tags The interface for part 1 is now almost finished. It’s been pretty hard to get a consistancy for all the different types of media. I’m still working […]
numuseum archive backend
I finally managed to get all the stuff about the back-end workings of the archive part of numuseum from my head into a diagram. It’s a great relief to see all the subjects in their different visualisations attached to the correct tools and APIs. I’ve got so much room in my head now that I’ve […]
numuseum archive
First rough sketch of the numuseum archive.
select Flickr photos by date taken
The interactive circular timeline will show all media items by day. There will also be a tag cloud and I think downloading everything from the internet at every move will be very non-fluid. I looked for and discovered a cool app in the Flickr app garden: phpFlickrSynch, “a PHP application that reads the metadata of […]
annual rings
I’ve worked on the new numuseum interface today, these are the first sketches. I want to combine the different subjects (e.g. webart, photographs, etc.) in a scrollable circular interface that functions as a timeline. The black lines indicate the years (like annual rings in a tree) and the coloured lines are the subjects. The red […]
continuing numuseum design
Chronology, subject and tags will become the main interface for navigating the numuseum content. For inspiration – and because I’m a map freak – I bought this lovely book: Cartographies of Time: A History of the Timeline (view image). See the full gallery on Posterous
