A few changes have taken place at junk for code.
It has been given a bit of a facelift with much appreciated tech help from Scott Wickstein and Boynton.
The Australian blogroll is being trimmed from listing all Australian weblogs to those that are relevant to the concerns of this cultural criticism weblog. Many of those who were listed never visited junk for code, which has a very low profile in the Australian bloggosphere. The clean out will continue with the other parts of the blogroll to create space for some new additions.
One of these is The Library. This will archive online texts that bear upon the concerns of junk for code but which are hard to obtain. Thus the work of Bataille has figured prominently in my comments to Rick Visser's Susan Sontag Regarding the Pain of Others project. Bataille is largely unknown in Australia. So some of his texts have been placed online for readers to download and read, if they so desire.
Who is next to be included in the Library? I do not know at this stage. We will wait and see.
Foreshadowed is a photoblog and a gallery.

He is quite influenced by Bataille, particularly in his discussion of general economy. Many, many references to Bataille in SDR's book, 'The Gift of Beauty.' Sorry to report, this will not come out in the interview.
