Introduction
Exploring Software with the language of technology and the concepts of software.
A way to explore software differently, in a poetic, cultural sense.


10 Theses on POETIC SOFTWARE

1.   Software is not neutral
2.   Software is invisible
3.   Software is emotional
4.   Software is not a good of consumption
5.   Software can be non-functional
6.   Software is culture
6.1  Concepts of software are of cultural value
7.   Software is fun
8.   Software is interrupting
9.   Software is physical and conceptual equally
10.  Software has a history


10 Exercises in POETIC SOFTWARE

1.   My iPod is bored
2.   Wifi poem
3.   A bootloader publication
4.   Slow Turtle: A slow server for slow lorris attacks
5.   Software depicting software
6.   Pin printer
7.   The noise in my computer
8.   A neural network that doesn't learn
9.   PSP: Portable Software Publishing
10.  Minimal writing


<u>interrupt</u>
In the original senes the computer does not have a notion of interaction. The way user input e.g. through typing is handled with interrupts. The interrupts literally interrupts the system stops processes to handle the user input. In that way the input through users gains priority over other processes running on the computers.

<u>dithering</u>
Concept to archive greyscale appearence on bitmap images, by the way pixels are distributed

<u>/dev/urandom</u>
device in the computer to collect noise

<u>bootloader</u>
To load the Operating System (OS) the system needs to load it in the memory and setup a few other parameters to make the OS executable. This is the basic function of the bootloader.

<u>compression</u>
Methods / algorithms to minimise filesize.

<u>systemd</u>

<u>keycode</u>

<u>dependency</u>

<u>framework</u>

<u>memory</u>

<u>denial of service attack</u>
Cyberattack towards servers.

<u>assembly</u>
Low level programming language.

<u>filesystem</u>

<u>root</u>

<u>recursive</u>
