The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

I'm sure sed is technically the wrong tool for editing GEDCOM files. But if it works...

Tom Turner! Wherever you are now, I still have your Casio VL-1. In fact, I’ve just finished restoring it!

Ĉu iu scias pri kaseda versio de la albumo "Jen Nia Mondo" de Duo Espera? Kompreneble mi scias pri la vinila diskego (1967), sed Rok-Gazet' n-ro 9 mencias postan kasedan re-eldonon. Ĉu iu havas - aŭ havis - ekzempleron kaj povus diri al mi, en kiu jaro la kasedo aperis? #Esperanto #EsperantoMuziko

More sketches in my black sketchbook. This time with soft pastel pencils. This might be my favorite material so far. They pop and I can still work precise with them. I hope you enjoy seeing my experiments. For me it has been fun to work with supplies I haven’t worked with for years. #Art

#langsky An interesting find! Some characters in a 1900s Welsh-language scifi speaking #Esperanto, as auxlangs have become commonplace in the world

I was expecting this record ("Lithuanian Song in Esperanto") to be kinda folky, but it actually turned out to be more like easy listening! Mi imagis ke tiu ĉi disko estus iom popolkanteca, sed fakte ĝi estas kvazaŭ "easy listening"! (Ĉu oni diras "facilan aŭskultadon"?)

"In the Steppes of Central Asia" by Borodin, recorded in 1929. Some passages on this side 1 are at an unusually fast tempo. Judging by the amount of dead wax, I'm wondering if it was performed faster than planned - usually they liked to put as much as possible on the first side.

One for @urbanprehistorian.bsky.social - I was reading this morning about the Asda 'Price Promise' stones that were erected across the country in the 90s loststonesofasda.wordpress.com Some are definitely on the way to being archaeological monuments, such as this one in Trumfleet, South Yorkshire

Is there a good way to get an estimate of how many actual humans are looking at my websites? Server logs just show all traffic and trying to sort out the difference between crawlers and humans is all but impossible. Ideally something less creepy and more privacy-friendly than Google Analytics!

Jen malnovaĵo el mia blogo pri Esperanto-muziko - la albumo "Esperanto" de Tutmonda Muziko eomuziko.com/eo/posts/tut... Here's an old post from my Esperanto music blog - the album "Esperanto" by Tutmonda Muziko eomuziko.com/en/posts/tut... #Esperanto #EsperantoMuziko

Agrablan #Esperanto-tagon al ĉiuj!

Ĉi-semajna trovaĵo: probable la plej frua longdaŭra diskego en Esperanto (eĉ pli frue ol "Ni Kantu en Esperanto"), kaj laŭ mia scio la unusola 10"-diskego en la lingvo. Temas pri "Litovaj Popolaj Kantoj kaj Dancoj" el 1961 - tri kantoj tradukitaj en Esperanton kaj ses instrumentaj pecoj.

It's very funny getting spam emails saying they've looked at my website and asking if I need a web developer. They obviously didn't look very closely at it, especially not the part that describes me as a "professional programmer and web developer". 😂 🤦‍♂️

My blog "Esperanto Music History" is now also available in Esperanto! All of the old posts have been translated, and new posts will be in both English and Esperanto. It's also at a new address: eomuziko.com #Esperanto #EsperantoMuziko

Mia blogo "Esperanto-Muziko: Historio" nun haveblas ankaŭ en Esperanto! Ĉiuj malnovaj afiŝoj estas tradukitaj, kaj novaj afiŝoj aperos en kaj la angla kaj Esperanto. Ĝi ankaŭ havas novan adreson: eomuziko.com #Esperanto #EsperantoMuziko

I finally got round to making another video - I play a 1970s cheap plastic Bontempi chord organ, that a friend found in a second-hand shop and sent me as a gift. Getting it to sound at all musical was a real challenge! YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRbw... PeerTube: makertube.net/w/jVinhmKtTP...

A local video store owner informed me that kids in their 20s are buying up all his VHS horror movies because they think it's "scarier due to the graininess of the video" and that was the most heart-warming thing I've heard in a long time.

I've been practising the recorder quite a bit recently and am finally starting to sound decently musical on it. It's rather like the ukulele in that its reputation is mostly based on how it sounds when it's played badly, rather than what it's like when played well!

Today's eBay finds. The green one is the first ever Esperanto vinyl record. Hodiaŭaj eBaj-trovaĵoj. La verda estas la plej frua vinildisko en Esperanto. #vinyl #esperanto

Either I'm getting better at Round Britain Quiz or they started the series with a very easy episode. I suspect the latter!

I realised recently that I have at least one record pressed in every decade from the 1910s to the 2020s. So I only have three more decades to go to collect the complete set!
