active shenanigans

Clockwork rattles and tubes light as if fighting reality itself to spin to life. The static fades to a warm hum as I realize... It is the weekend once again.

strudel is fun!

Everything at work broke, spent most of the day ssh'd into my computer at home writing little bash scripts and messing with docker containers.

I guess I'm just fully onboard with Linux now. Like in the past month I've booted into windows once. That was just to play minecraft with my friends... then the bedrock launcher updated like a day later. I like Vintage story more anyways, and it runs on Linux.

Tempted to buy a bunch of plastic skeletons then make an abomination of anatomy.

I get home from work then I blink, suddenly 5 hours pass. Curse you my own perception of time!

doing hackerman stuff... wrote a bash script that uses nmap to scan my network to find my phone. it then uses the IP to connect it to an adb (Android Debug Bridge) server then run scrcpy to mirror the screen so I can control it remotely. I was jealous of of my mac having friends this feature.

tells the home assistant to set the air conditioner temperature to 61 degrees. home assistant: Now playing the song "air conditioner temperature to 61 degrees" by the bongosniffers

super tux kart is actually kinda good ngl

I want to do more music with jazz type instrumentation. Need to find a decent saxophone vst or just will a saxophone synth into existence like I usually do.

I broke my rule of posting while tired, that's when all the existential thoughts escape their suppression like a mild panic attack. You're all very kind and I appreciate that.

Yelling into the void of social media has became a lot less rewarding. I want to say its a healthy change but its only left me anxious.

Little kiosk thing at work keeps falsely accusing people of stealing stuff. I started circumventing it by standing just outside of the camera's viewing angle. I noticed a while after I started doing that, it's started switching to a wide mode. Someone somewhere is upset.

I just want to share the spoon cube again. youtu.be/pDv89XHcQvM

I finally installed Linux (Debian 13) on my main desktop. It was such a painless transition, I should have done this forever ago.

dang... storm knocked my power out and chrome finally updated to manifest v3. Whelp, time to switch to firefox and or setup a pi-hole.

I hope someone else hasn't thought of this already

I had a day. locked my keys in my car, messed up my fingers trying to get them out, stepped in gum, skipped my break because I spent nearly an hour unsuccessfully trying to get them, then somebody rammed me in the drive through (no damage) but still. A whole cartoon plot happened, I'm staying home.

I think the air freshener in my room marinaded me. People are both complaining and wondering where the good smell is coming from around me, I'm the common denominator.

I'm like a hermit that runs down from the mountain top to show everyone this cool rock I found. Then I go back to my cave for like the next two months until I find another cool rock.

idk what I'm making but it is indeed something. #renoise

started noticing that some videos have like multiple tracks of music playing at like a really low volume behind the main music track. I mostly see it in animation memes and short form videos. I assume it might be some kind of algorithm manipulation a copyright counter measure. I hear it though...

I roll out of bed and the first thing I do is say "ow" because the floor is hard like that

I'm not dead, I swear! I have time off and a drive to create something. Motivation? ... maybe!

go away interpolation, I want the crunchy waveforms

1-bit Heathcliff Theme I'm not sure if I ever posted this. #chiptune

going through folders on my computer. one folder seems to have a an unusually deep directory tree... clicking through it for like 3 minutes until I realized that the last folder was a symbolic link to the initial folder in the chain. Past me is a jerk.

Pinto beans. [this has been my weekly post]

Jazz metal fusion... That is all.

I spent the whole night learning how to use virtual host on Apache and setting up subdomains. Mostly just to force my projects to have ssl.

is it just me or is there always a little audio drop out near the end of every video on here? feels like 150ms worth of dead audio.

too much job. tired of putting crap in a box all day forever. I must create!

added json support to the openGL thing so I can have a map file. I just want to live edit vertices. it mostly works!

been working on some projects, learning more openGL stuff. #chiptune #ym2612 #digifu #openGL

note to self: don't make samples out of synths, make synth macros because they're cool.

TIL there is a butter emoji. 🧈

I'm really into games with co-op shenanigans, code, and building robots. Recommendations nobody asked for: Space Engineers (like C#?) Main Assembly (CAD is goty) The farmer was replaced (single player learns python) TrailMakers (can do logic) Omega Crafter (scratch type language)

trying out the pc speaker in furnace. #chiptune ?

stoats wearing cowboy hats! a dual AY-3-8910 song. I can finally post longer stuff #chiptune #ay38910 #furnacetracker

If you put a glow stick in the microwave it glows REALLY bright. Then it pops and sprays bitter glowing liquid everywhere.

know what I like most about furnace? That masterwork of a tracker is free, you can just have it. its like cool, go forth and create! then people do.

kinda want to start drawing more. I'm okay at it but its absolutely one of those neglected skill of mine.

Falling on your back in the rain while mid-30s is different. I hardware reset and had to lay there for a while. (I'm okay.)

I love that 1-bit crunch of TI calculator 😁

anybody remember madtracker 2? It had an irc client built into it which it was both neat and weird.

been working on this dual AY-3-8910 song for like a week. its coming together really nicely, doing some things I haven't done with this chip before because I keep finding all the fun stuff in furnace.

I've had this sitting around for a while, like how it sounds but not sure where to go with it... but now that I posted it I'll probably have a thousand ideas. #chiptune #ym2612 #megadrive #digifu

had this riff in my head all day and had to get it out. #chiptune #digifu #furnacetracker
