 Just discovered telegra.ph. Particularly this fabulous anonymous scream unto the void. Priceless!

I used to run a shitty little poetry and lyrics site where people could anonymously post unrequited love poems, comebleedthyheart.com. Apart from going through some really bad failure-to-understand-consent issues, myself, about 12 other people wrote turgid prose to imagined lovers who actually just felt sorry for them.

Telegra.ph absolutely murders comebleedthyheart.com in its slumber. A telegraph pole of the internet, "Have you seen my lost puppy?"

"NO, I'm on the other side of the fucking planet!" somebody replies, but the author never sees the reply. Unless the author sends it to them. Just don't, that's fucking creepy!

Anyway. It was a walk down memory lane for me. I used to have to poetically put it cryptically in songs. Now I can just scream it once and be done.

Meanwhile, Developing a MIDI, Tap-Tempo, Master-Clock Pedal...

Image
Kind of the other inspiration for the Robo-Drums, I've also been thinking about a MIDI Master Clock that started with the WAY TOO AMBITIOUS idea of a central 2-way, DINsync-MIDI-And-Back Master Clock, that I thought would be cool to add tap-tempo to. (Draws HUGE breath after that mouthful!) I dug out one of my Wio Terminal micros, promptly killed it on a distraction, dug out the other and started developing this concept. The left and centre buttons will probably have a gang reserved for straight switching of start/stop and pattern-select, as well as for triggering to Wio Term to do MIDI.sendStart/MIDI.sendStop (left) and MIDI.programChange. (Center.) The right button will be the tap-tempo button. The toggle switches will select normally-open/closed modes for the analogue button-out function. On the tap tempo stuff, I got to thinking about " Kilroy's Blues " •1 , a song I wrote back in the mid "noughties," and how it would be cool to "pedal"

ALWAYS read the PDS

I'm quite open about my health in public. I'm also a bit of a "helicopter pilot*" when it comes to my cycling, too. So, when I saw my cadiologist last week for an annual followup since my poofer went futt back in 2020, a new doc every year (I'm public, not private), I made sure Doc knew the back story, the front story, the story behind the story and the cover story. I told Doc that my diabetes had been formally retyped, that my "endo" had officially determined that my 2005 type 2 diagnosis was wrong, I'm a type 1. Probably late onset, but things about my childhood and youth health... you know... Maybe I'm latent Type 1, maybe I was a sort of slow burn juvee Type 1. Anyway, Doc acknowledged it, "Ah yes, late onset." I told Doc I've used a bicycle for transport all my life, was a big advocate for cycling for environmental, urban and personal health and that was acknowledged with an enthusiastic, "Very good." Then Doc pre

Windows Is Ubiquitous, But That Doesn't Make It a "Standard."

Image
All my life, I've been told by ignorant twats that Mac OS is "non-standard" and that "Windows is the 'Industry standard.'" However, the standard is called POSIX, Portable Operating System Interface. (I guess "POSI" was too "soft" for tech bros of the era that POSIX was formulated and an X made it look "tough," LOL.) Window's isn't really a "defacto standard," either, as there are way more POSIX-native OSes on the global network than there are Windows machines. Linuces are the majority of server OSes, Debian, Ubuntu, etc. Then, since the advent of MacOS X and the veritable explosion of that platform, along with domestic Linux and even private enterpise adopting Linux to manage costs, along with the graphics and app industries leaning more back to Mac (at the user level, at least), Windows is probably the second largest platform, maybe neck-and-neck with Apple. (And Apple is POSIX, therefore standard and
