Closes

A note from Richard

V2Melody will close at midnight on 20 January 2028

This site has been a retirement project in musical poetry: poems chosen with care and set to music, offered freely for as long as it felt right to keep the garden open.

The work no longer holds the place it once did in my life. I have gone as far with it as I wish to go. Like a sand mandala, it was made to be completed and then released. I am not attached to its permanence, and I do not believe any of it needs to last beyond the time it was given.

I want a simpler life, without the hassle of being online. The work of maintaining a server, the monitoring, and the residual obligations that come with keeping a site alive no longer fit the life I want.

From 4 November 2026 I will not be adding new poems or musical poems to the site.

Until midnight on 20 January 2028, Spanish time, everything remains available exactly as it is. That is when my VPS server contract comes to an end, and it will not be renewed. After that, the server will be switched off and the site will disappear.

Thank you to anyone who found a poem, a track, or a quiet moment here.

The pleasure was in the making.

Richard



1982

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems Introduced

What happened

In 1982, Daikin introduced Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, a significant advancement in climate control technology for buildings. This innovation allows for efficient, zoned heating and cooling, optimizing energy use and enhancing comfort. VRF systems have become increasingly popular in commercial and residential applications, reflecting a growing emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability in building design. The development of VRF technology has transformed HVAC practices, contributing to reduced energy consumption and lower operational costs.

Literary impact

The introduction of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems in 1982 transformed architectural designs for cultural institutions and universities, enhancing spaces for literary education and events. This technological advancement allowed poets like T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound to engage with new environments, reflecting modernist themes in their works.
