Made this a few weeks ago, just listened to it again and I quite like it:
https://www.uninformativ.de/music/2025-1-ebow/Fog.ogg
This is just one instrument: Electric bass guitar + EBow. And echo/delay on top. But it’s a single track, single take. It amazes me quite a bit how much you can do with that little thing. 🤯

** A week notes to round out the summer **
I haven’t posted anything remotely resembling week notes since the middle of June! Since then many things have happened including, but not limited to: a trip to Minnesota to visit Isaac, a couple trips to New Hampshire for work, a family trip to Mount Desert Island to revisit our old stomping grounds, a whole heap of bicycle riding, I finished a couple great books, played some games, made some games, and wrote what is probably an unhealthy a … ⌘ Read more

ProcessOne: Spotify’s Direct Messaging Gambit

Hey @jost@jost.sdfeu.org, not sure if this reaches you, but your TLS server certificate expired two weeks ago.
I went for a nice walk to the park this morning and I am quite happy about it. Maybe next week I will go running again!
We just met again after sleep to clean up all the rest. I now got food for literally two weeks. At least. No kidding! I feel really bad for taking waaaaay more home than bringing along. :-/ Turned out that a bunch of people were absent without an excuse. :-( That rude behavior is beyond my comprehension.
Of course, @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz! But I’ll first write some instructions (hopefully this week) and then let you know. :-) Should be much easier then.

Morning, computer! Spending my days off trying to figure things out.
Some of them will occur in this post. I think best when I’m writing,
after all.
I’m back from a short vacation since a couple of weeks. I’m still
going to take a few days off every week for a while. I need the break.
It’s been way too many 12-16 hour workdays. I’m nominally working 80%
(~6 hour days), so I figure I’ve been working a lot for free.
Yeah, well, I like the TKey project to succeed. The ideas behind it
have implicatio … ⌘ Read more
After many weeks and probably at least a hundred hours of research, discussions and in-person viewing, I think I’ve finally come up with my Final Choices (shortlist) of a Hybrid Camper / Caravan that I think will suit my family and that I’ll enjoy (far less work for me to setup and teardown). The one at the top of the list I’m leaning towards os the SWAG SCT16 Family 4B
#Camping #Campersi made a new tumblr account to interact with fandom last week. while using the site today i got logged out and when i logged back in i was told my account was terminated. mullenweg will pay for this
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, it’s a shitshow. MS overconfirms all my prejudices constantly.
Ignoring e-mail after lunch works great, though. :-)
Our timetracking is offline for over a week because of reasons. The responsible bunglers are falling by the skin of their teeth: ![]()
- The error message neither includes the timeframe nor a link to an announcement article.
- The HTML page needs to download JS in order to display the fucking error message.
- Proper HTTP status codes are clearly only for big losers.
- Despite being down, heaps of resources are still fetched.
I find it really fascinating how one can screw up on so many levels. This is developed inhouse, I’m just so glad that we’re not a software engineering company. Oh wait. How embarrassing.
I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! :‘-(
At work, too. For a few weeks now when I try to log into this horrible Outlook web intershit (Because why would they fix the Evolution integration?! It’s cactus for well over a year now. Probably more like two.), it forwards me to the corporate weblogin, I enter my credentials, even do the bloody MFA crap and get redirected back to Outlook. “Loading mailbox…” “Please wait for us to log you out, do not close this window while this process is underway.” Fuck you! I have to delete the cookies for this damn domain each and every fucking time. Otherwise, this goes in circles forever. I tried the game for 15 minutes, no joke.
But wait, there’s more! Why just fuck it up only a little bit? This week I get logged out at the middle of the day. Every. Single. Day. Not even close to eight hours since I started, no. What the hell!? I reckon I just don’t even bother reauthenticating anymore in the arvo. No more e-mails for Lyse after lunch. Fuck it. It’s just distraction, anyway, right?!
Gone on a road trip. Be back in a week 👋

** Admitting that they’re really never weekly notes **
While everyone is up to their eyeballs in puzzles playing Blue Prince I’ve been playing some Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword on the Gameboy Advanced. I’ve also set up the playdate to mirror at my computer and have been having fun exploring the games in season 2! Mostly just Dig! Dig! Dino!, so far.

My music listening is inconsistent. I don’t listen to much music, sometimes weeks without any music streaming at all. And when I do, I often listen to some automatic playlists with recommendations from YouTube. I don’t have any specific artists I always listen too. Furthermore, I don’t even have a specific genre I like the most, often it’s something electronic. ⌘ Read more

Over the past few weeks I’ve been experimenting with and doing some deep learning and researching into neutral networks and evolutionary adaptation of them. The thing is I haven’t gotten very far. I’ve been able to build two different approaches so far with limited results. The frustrating part is that these things are so “random” it isn’t even funny. Like I can’t even get a basic ANN + GA to evolve a network that solves the XOR pattern every time with high levels of accuracy. 😞

Two weeks with AR glasses and Linux on Android
I recently learned something that blew my mind; you can run a full desktop Linux environment on your phone. That’s a graphical environment via X11 with real window management and compositing, Firefox comfortably playing YouTube (including working audio), and a status bar with system stats. It launches in less than a second and feels snappy. ↫ Hold the Robot In and of itself, this is a neat trick most of us are probably aware of. Running a … ⌘ Read more
