The Arcology Garden

The Arcology Garden is the product of Ryan Rix's technical and creative energy, a self-documenting system of computers, software, and ideas. Inside the garden we will find mostly technical artifacts, and writing from my Archive. I will document and develop my projects in this system; the components used to enable this (the CCE) are of special interest.

Collections and writing worth checking out:

• My Current Location and Where I've Recently Been.

• My recent writing is linked from Arcology Garden Site Updates

• A list of free, terrible ideas: Dumb Ideas Done Dirt Cheap

Some older writing:

• Old essays Towards Convergence and a Respectful Future

• Disorganized thinking about Moving Towards Real Privacy

• My feelings on Free Software as a Community of Mutual Aide

• A Very Quick Introduction to Japanese Tea Brewing

Pages that will work some day:

• new in 2020: Photo Mode tour of the Art of Rally Career Mode (arcology will support images ... some day....)

• WIP Glitch Image Gallery

Projects:

• Arcology, my Python3 FastAPI website engine (currently being rewritten in Django)

• CCE: The Complete Computing Environment, my Emacs computing environment

• Arroyo Systems Management, the metadata extraction framework which powers CCE and Arcology

• Data Rights Protocol, a technical messaging protocol to exchange data rights requests like Do Not Sell and Data Subject Access Requests

• Knowledge Management frameworks built around a roam:Daily Writing Habit and org-roam

  • Local parsing of KOReader Notes to Org Roam

• Art, poetry, and non-technical work on my non-technical site, The Lion's Rear

Dive in to my public knowledge base:

• Emacs

• Computer :(

• Privacy

I am a fan of Making Mistakes, and this is a space where good intention must be assumed if growth is to occur. I will write wrongheaded and stupid things here, surely, but I am also willing to do the work to correct those things.

I am @rrix@notes.whatthefuck.computer on your local Fediverse node.
