Description for the above graphic :

#C A very long period oscillator: 1800 generations. In more humorous
#C moments, known as the glider racetrack. Sometimes you're a glider,
#C sometimes a spaceship, and sometimes just a hole
#C -- David Goodenough
#C
#C This uses several reactions:
#C
#C The glider starts travelling SW, and enters a three-glider->LWSS
#C synthesis found by David Buckingham. There are two parallel streams
#C of gliders moving in opposite directions, a NW P30 and and a SE
#C P60. When idling, these fall into eaters, but when *THE* glider
#C arrives, a single instance of the synthesis takes place, sending a
#C LWSS west. The gun firing SE has to be P60 to let the LWSS escape.
#C
#C Next, the LWSS hits a glider going NE from another P60 gun, and is
#C converted back into a glider going SE. I'm not sure who this
#C reaction is due to.
#C
#C Next, the kickback reaction with a NE stream from a P30 gun is used
#C to turn the glider around so it's going NW, and send it back
#C through the stream from the P60. As far as the LWSS + glider to
#C glider synthesis goes, a P30 gun would be OK. However, since you
#C can't get a glider back through a P30 stream without a crash, I
#C need a P60 stream to let the glider back through.
#C
#C Now it goes to a shuttle that turns it NE, and then it hits a
#C stream of SE gliders from a P30 gun. When it hits the stream, it
#C destroys exactly one glider in the stream, creating a hole. When
#C idling, the stream hits another shuttle that turns it NW, and then
#C runs into what would be a P30 gun, except that the inbound stream
#C keeps it permanently turned off. This is part of the switchable P30
#C LWSS gun found by David I. Bell, AKA an in-line NOT gate for glider
#C guns. When the hole arrives, it allows a single glider to escape
#C NE, which is promptly turned SE by another shuttle.
#C
#C The glider then runs into the westbound output of a P120 LWSS gun,
#C in a reaction found by Dean Hickerson. It undergoes the same
#C glider+LWSS->glider reaction, creating a glider going NE. This is
#C then reversed to SW by the "ping" reaction with a PD, and at that
#C point it's on its starting path. It continues SW, and once again
#C enters the three glider LWSS synthesis, and thus the cycle repeats.
#C
#C David Goodenough, January 1995

I am sure glad I did not have to write all that.....

Just reg otismo.art

But I also reg

This is what my art looks like - feel free to download, if you like.....

Very Cool Otis... I downloaded it ... not sure when or where I'll ever use it, but it's very eye catching... Not sure how your doing all that but it is, indeed, an artform! Hope you go far with it!

Cool to that you got otismo.art. I think there are a lot of reg fee .art names out there if people will just get a little creative. FirstLastname.art, firstmiddlename.art, twoword.art, unusualspelling.art (that's why I was able to get dustie.art at RegFee). Same for you I suspect.

Love your flashing Foxeo Logo.

MyFine.Design is another Art WebSite

Featuring, among other things, ASCII Art :



Free .design domain promo - over now, I think.....

Otis, that is beautiful! Indeed! I like .design too...but am enamoured of the .ART TLD. It's so short and so definitive of what it means. I've already posted this in another thread, but since this is the .ART thread, I'm posting it here too.


Just not enough people even know that the .art name exists now. All the artist's I've talked to have never heard of it. Two years and an overthought out poor launch slowed recognition of this new TLD way down. However, I believe t's too good a TLD to hold it down over the long term. Search the word ARTIST in google and you get 4,260,000,000 results.. That is not 4 Million, but 4 BILLION!!!

Some think it destined for failure, but I just don't believe that for a minute. Instead, I believe .ART is going to be one of the most well know (and highly sought after) top GTLDs. I may be letting those 4 BILLION, 260 MILLION results take over my better judgement, but somehow, I just don't think that's the case. Time will tell... In the meantime I'm going to be sharing and shouting my domain Dustie.art to the world. I've even ordered a couple of Tshirts that say.. Dustie.Art Promoting the Arts, Both Online and Off.

Oh, and did I mention that if you look up ART on Google, it throws back 18 BILLION results!!!
