Do anyone know the meaning of the word "interlidolude"?

Go to the author's website. He seems to have coined the word and so the best person to ask is him.

No means to access Brin's facebook.
Blocked.

I'm not talking about him on Facebook. He has his own website (his name dot com). Or contact him on Twitter. His handle is - you guessed it - his name.

Yes, I got your idea.
But, neither his website nor his twitter is accessible. Blocked.
I used VPN before, which is unavailable now.
Sad.

A lido is an open air swimming pool in the UK.



Aldershot Lido


Interlidolude may mean time spent at lidos or the time between visiting them.

Or it might have nothing to do with them at all. How about a bit more context, provide the passage where this word is used and we might have a better chance at guessing what is meant.

It looks like he is using the term to mean a short story or story excerpt.

Thank you very much.
It is an intentional misspelling by the author to mean "interlude" with an obscure reference to the film "The Swimmer".
I got the answer from some other forum.

People swim at lidos so yeah. Glad I was of some help.

Does I what, in a nuptial, I've been related ever since my marriage to the machine.

"A lido is a public outdoor swimming pool and surrounding facilities, or part of a beach where people can swim, lie in the sun, or participate in water sports. On a cruise ship or ocean liner, the lido deck features outdoor pools and related facilities."

In the page entitled Interlidolude from Brin's The Blackjack Generation I can't find a reference to Burt Lancaster's film The Swimmer.

"Interlidolude

How to keep them loyal? The clever machines and software agents who gush n’ splash across all twenty-three internets? The ais and eairs who watch and listen to everything we type, utter, scribble, twut… or even think?" ...

This sigh-fie novel page interlude about a supercomputer war may be punning on what happens at a lido, the gushing and splashing of words on the internet, and LIDO:

"LIDO is an XML harvesting schema. The schema is intended for delivering metadata, for use in a variety of online services, from an organization’s online collections database to portals of aggregated resources, as well as exposing, sharing and connecting data on the web."

"XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. XML is a markup language much like HTML. XML was designed to store and transport data."

There indeed is another possibility. Lido means little.Here is the link.
It makes sense now. Interlidolude is "little interlude".

Sure for sure, definitely.

Depends.



Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are long forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Diaperland
Oh I wish I was in Diapers, away, away
In Diaperland you under stand you live and die in Diapers
Because Diaperland, s'where I was born
Early on one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Diaperland

Glory, glory holy poo yar
Morning glory holy poo yar
What's the story, holy poo yar
His trail is marching on

So hush widdle baby
Don't you cry
You know your diaper's goin' to dry
And all the cottontails, will soon be over


Glory, glory holy poo yar
His trail is marching on
His trail is marching on
