BKS on The Iowa Review Web

I'm the featured artist on The Iowa Review Web this month, yay:

The Iowa Review Web : Volume 5, Number 4 (September 2003)

There's an interview of me by Giselle Beiguelman, who is...

"a multimedia essayist and web-artist who lives in São Paulo, Brazil, where she was born. She teaches Digital Culture and Literature in the Communication and Semiotics Program at the university there. Since 1998, she has run desvirtual.com, an editorial studio."

She's also the Brazilian digital poets' answer to Madonna and the one you read about in the New York Times last year who created an interactive billboard on a highway near Sao Paolo that project phrases submitted on a website (or something like that). Just Google her and see.

I'm pretty happy with the interview which, though a rambling mess, gets to a lot of good stuff. The new poem sequence that goes with the issue can be linked to just below, right here on FSC, but otherwise, go there to check out my other earlier work.

Sorry to be so self-promo lately but 1) I haven't had much time to write "dispassionate" literary crit of late and 2) nobody likes lit crit anyway, right!

When the machine compiles your code, however, it does a little bit of translation. At run time, the computer sees nothing but 1s and 0s, which is all the computer ever sees: a continuous string of binary numbers that it can interpret in various ways.

Being able to understand that basic idea opens up a vast amount of power that can be used and abused, and we're going to look at a few of the better ways to deal with it in this article.

Each Stack Frame represents a function. The bottom frame is always the main function, and the frames above it are the other functions that main calls. At any given time, the stack can show you the path your code has taken to get to where it is. The top frame represents the function the code is currently executing, and the frame below it is the function that called the current function, and the frame below that represents the function that called the function that called the current function, and so on all the way down to main, which is the starting point of any C program.

That gives us a pretty good starting point to understand a lot more about variables, and that's what we'll be examining next lesson. Those new variable types I promised last lesson will finally make an appearance, and we'll examine a few concepts that we'll use to organize our data into more meaningful structures, a sort of precursor to the objects that Cocoa works with. And we'll delve a little bit more into the fun things we can do by looking at those ever-present bits in a few new ways.

Note the new asterisks whenever we reference favoriteNumber, except for that new line right before the return.
