If anything made me want to go to mac silicon more it's this This guy makes amazing plugins. This is a drone modular synth with tape cassette. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn7n...

I just read an old teacher of mine had died. I never went back to the rough school. It occurred to me though what waves you can make in peoples' lives. The teacher always went off the beaten track. Those are the things you remember about a person. Not the lessons. The spirit inside you.

I spoke to a dentist today. Her Dad worked in KFC all his life in a rough part of London. Her sis and her became a doctor and dentist. The dad worked so hard. That puts things in perspective. To see hard working people like that who made their dad and mum proud. It was a nice story for a change.

Just been playing with a demo of U-he's Zebra 3. What an amazing sounding synth. It's up there that synth. Another tempting one! Trouble is I do not enjoy editing with a mouse. Maybe for VCV rack but synth design is a knobby hands on thing to me. Check out Zebra 3! youtu.be/0fCCPbHNtns?...

Funfair

Look how well designed this VST is

Here is CAD 3d v2 for the Atari St. This program was amazing. To think it ran on a 1MB ST. The way it had a scripting language to animate things. Here you are seeing A.I having made a 3d model for it. I can't believe A.I created a scene for it! There are no manuals e.t.c A.I is fascinating to me

This was the talk I watched. It was really interesting and well worth a watch. I am still learning about the techniques of slit scan and have been trying to make a VR stargate but I need to curb my AI addiction it's so expensive www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO2n...

I was watching Douglas Trunbull giving a talk about the fx on 2001. What a creative guy he was. Last night on my Quest 2 I ad a look at VR chat worlds/what's new. I can't help feeling there is a whole world still to explore with VR. It's so magical. The next 2001. Meta Horizons is dead but is VR?

I always make the best discoveries before work. Typical Look at this. AI>Euclid. Reversed engineered the file again. How fantastic

Creepy Crawlies WIP (Acorn Electron). Let's collect all the fruit and zap some bugs! Added various stats and collision detection

I find it amazing when they designed USB ports they didn't spot clearly obvious problems (which USB C has rectified). Surely this would have had a lot of testing before hand? It's too easy to put a USB cable in upside down and fry something. Also MicroUSB - hard to tell which way up it should go in

Wow Country Joe Macdonald just died

I just built a VR/AR Orac. If only I could use that original voice. Then you could have a fully working version and able to ask it anything.

Vanishing point had so many good songs on it www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7bi...

They were really great... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka1q...

Just been watching Tron 1982 again. What went wrong with the last 2012 Tron. I keep banging on but the last one was like fast food. Too slick. The 1982 one is slower paced and just more thought out. Maybe it's because it's hand drawn in parts. It's simple. Let's hope the next one is better.

Heartbroken

The prize for the ugliest keyboard I have ever seen in my 40 years of synthesis is this Panasonic jobbie

I nearly lost a whole weekend of work. Godot. I didn't realise if you copy it to gmail it strips out the formatting. If you do that then you are ****** No A.I can bring it back. That was a hard lesson to learn. The sarcasm didn't help on the Godot discord from people.

I miss BBC microbot. With all this whizz bang stuff we have now it's the simplicity of it. 160 char programs. How did Geoff do this in just this code? There is hardly any code! They are all amazing programmers as far as I am concerned. It still inspires me to fiddle around with it.

New Day

I've been mucking around with AI and editing our Telepaint Teletext editor. I got it to edit the BBC basic code and add a robot animation. Before the AI would have failed miserably. I asked for a planet, spaceship,window and whacky robots. I would have had to import sprites before. Now it codes them

I tried that Meta Hyperscape thing. Amazing. Guassian Splats. What impressed me is that it capture outside the bedroom window - all in VR. How did it detect that space? Incredible. It reminds me of 'Cold Lazarus'. Memories and photos in VR. That series was ahead of it's time and was prophetic.

Is it me or is everyone skint already at the beginning of February? It was bad enough getting through January. I need to get some dentures for my back teeth and then the AI is zapping the wallet. But being able to chew food is the priority. Monster munch feels weird with no top left back teeth!

I finally got AMX 3d Zicon working. This one is the CPC version. I can't get the beeb one to work. Let me know if anyone gets that working. I am on OSX which doesn't help with emulation/AMX What a great program this was. So much fun trying to make a 3d shape on a mid 80s home computer with no Undo

Cursor AI is totally amazing. After hearing people talk about it and fiddling with it and giving up I can now understand why everyone goes on about it. It edits your code so all you have to do is prompt it. No more cutting and pasting. Wish I'd discovered this a year earlier! Check it out.

Been trying to write a 3d editor ....nothing too complicated I like A.I trying the Easter Island heads....teehee...it did the best it can but it's hardly subdivision modelling is it!

Oh god youtube is being flooded with Native Instrument's insolvency videos. "What it means to you". Dear oh dear. Clickbait crap!

If only A.I knew BBC basic really well. It would be so cool Having said that it's done a pretty good job of this however basic!

Well I'm not very enamoured with Xcode. What a pain in the bum to build on that It's so slow. Then I find my Ipad and Monterey is too old. Ok fair enough I am running an old mac and I can run it in the simulator. It's just seems very slow to build and run after using javascript which is instant

I met a delivery driver recently. It was a fascinating conversation. He had a good heart and was a cool guy. He'd lost 10 grand on crypto. Yet he still believed in crypto. He said to me I am poor anyway so what difference does it make. I admired him. He wanted to succeed. I wish him all the best.

Meta have done so much to advance V.R It's a shame to see V.R taking a back door now. I hope it survives as it promises so much and is amazing. Having said that, who thought it was a good idea to use a Quest for meetings? It's heavy enough on the head as it is www.roadtovr.com/meta-horizon...

Don't ever stop being a hippie in the changing times...it's still in us youtu.be/BeJ3l_WwCXg?...

Just been trying out the Cherry B3. Sounds very nice to my ears. Think I prefer it to the competition. I know by b3's! There is a bundle deal on at the moment. To think you can buy a b3 vst sounding this good for 10 quid. Amazing. I owned a Korg CX3 in early 80s but this sounds much better

The Stylophone sampler looks cool. Sometimes you want to buy something there and then but it's annoying to have to wait. Finally get to try out Cherry Audio's interesting Additive synth Harmonium. What a beautiful looking vst. Cherry Audio make great vst interfaces. Arturia joint first....
