From c9f9a9881548114e49752d5bc4feba4a83ed4d84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Craig Jennings Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 07:22:10 -0500 Subject: chore: file the legacy inbox references and two unfiled captures The inbox held 64 processed-but-kept handoffs from July and August. The inbox discipline no longer allows that state: a file is a task, reference content in a tracked home, or gone. I read each one. Fifty-six were acknowledgments, FYIs, lint pipeline files or requests whose work had already landed. Those are deleted. Eight carried content worth keeping. The 2026-07-15 velox boot-failure diagnosis moves to docs/design, linked from the retrospective task. The three 2026-08-14 reinstall-gap reports move into the velox reinstall working dir, linked from the post-rebuild task. The two Maeda applets and their notes join the clock display references. Two captures had never landed anywhere: the waybar module separator I captured on 2026-07-20 ([#B]) and the window-configuration research idea from 2026-07-24 ([#C]). Both are filed. The velox reinstall task records the two live steps (wsdd off, passim masked) applied over ssh once velox came back, and the health-check log now says velox is masked. --- .../2026-07-30-maeda-cosmos-standalone.html | 422 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 422 insertions(+) create mode 100644 working/clock-display-references/2026-07-30-maeda-cosmos-standalone.html (limited to 'working/clock-display-references/2026-07-30-maeda-cosmos-standalone.html') diff --git a/working/clock-display-references/2026-07-30-maeda-cosmos-standalone.html b/working/clock-display-references/2026-07-30-maeda-cosmos-standalone.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bfa9fbb --- /dev/null +++ b/working/clock-display-references/2026-07-30-maeda-cosmos-standalone.html @@ -0,0 +1,422 @@ + + + + + +Cosmos (C1, 1995) — Maeda × Shiseido tribute + + + +

Cosmos — numbers in orbit

+

John Maeda for Shiseido, 1995 (Cal0.class) — rebuilt as a web component. Standalone copy, no build step.

+ +
+
+

Controls: hover to reshape every orbit — the axes track 1.5× the + cursor's distance from each orbit's center; press and drag to pull a new loop out of the + system; the mark at bottom-left clears them and replays the fly-in credit. Click the + canvas first, then ESC toggles strip-move mode (the ground goes orange and the + clock strip comes free).

+

The days of the month ride a rotated ellipse, today in red on the sweep + hand, with a seconds odometer scrolling at the right edge. The month as a gravitational + system, days as bodies in orbit, the user as a hand that perturbs the heavens. Time is + periodic, not linear.
