Hey friendos! Ottawa Processing Day 2019 is over, which means my talk is done, which means I can experience joy again instead of just anxiety about giving my talk.

@tildetown got called out heavily, and especially @curio (for botany).

Please find attached this image of the Tilde Town Time Service that ran back in November 2017.

It's really more of an artists rendition - as it was created post-facto - but I actually built a working speaker amplifier on breadboard for authenticity reasons.

@m455 woot woot

Cleaning up my website archives (from at least 2003), and 2009 has a weird two month gap:

08/a-good-week-for-hardware-stuff.html*

Ohh. My dad died and I did not talk about my feelings in public.

2009 Aaron would have used the fuck out of The Feels Engine, if it had existed yet

Remember Airplanes?

I live on the flight path of an international airport and I was so surprised to look up and see a plane.

Some drums, some chopped up samples, piano and a Juno 6 sound. Really, it's just about getting into the habit, again.

HOLY SHIT I forgot Rapture covered by Dub Pistols and Terry Hall:

I need to and will do better, fam. 18 hours of downtime is no joke.

We're back.

WTF? I don't understand why, but my Statuscake uptime check was paused and didn't notify my phone, so I don't even know how long we were down for and only noticed when I came to see what's up on Fedi this morning.

I got toots from 6PM yesterday on the top of my timeline, so ... I guess 1 day? I had to reboot the server because Docker was in a bad way -- `docker ps` was out of sync with reality. Not seen that before.

https://github.com/insom/TrellisMIDI -- I wrote something for the Adafruit NeoTrellis so you can use it as an okay 5-pin MIDI / USB MIDI controller and then I made a video with my stupid voice demoing it too -- https://youtu.be/f-ck0rl3aos

Do people see a Eurorack post beneath this one for me? Do I need to self-boost replies to old posts or not? How to Mastodon, even?

That day arrived and I have populated one board and sandwiched it between two others until I make a case. Not bad!

It was US$69, not even kidding.

My neon sign arrived, so that's nice.

This is the most complex sewing I've done in my life. (Yes, it's a series of rectangles, sorry). #masktodon
