  • Day 25 - The Archives

    Day 25. I got started much earlier today, and appreciated having the extra time to work on this! I'm reasonably happy with it, although I think the last phrase could use some more build-up, to emphasize the hesitation and quiet ending even more. The video is from my visit to the Internet Archive in San Francisco yesterday. The Internet Archive main office is in an old church. These are just two of the racks of live servers that power archive.org.

  • Day 25: Automatically Fetching Reply Contexts for p3k #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    Today I worked on automatically expanding the contents of my reply contexts whenever a new post is created. I also have a utility to fetch the reply context for older posts. I ran it for the first page of replies on my replies feed, and I'm super excited that they are looking pretty good now!

  • Day 24 - The Cheat

    Day 24. I was out and about in San Francisco most of the day, so didn't get started on this until I was finally in the MAX on the ride home from the Portland airport. I started this on my phone, which meant I was relatively limited in what I could do, so I started putting some loops from Garage Band on the iPhone together. I never made it an explicit rule not to use loops, but I've always felt bad about doing that. This one is almost entirely just various loops assembled together. But it was more important to me to get something done than to not use loops, so here we are.

  • Day 23 - Absinthe

    Day 23. Back at my hotel in the evening, I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get started tonight. Lily suggested that I call her and she could sing something to me over the phone. So we chatted on Facetime for a few minutes, and she sang some random words that she read from around the apartment, in something resembling a tune. I took a tiny slice of the call, pitch corrected and retimed it like crazy, and then built up some other instruments around it. This was an interesting exercise in learning the pitch correction and retiming tools in Logic, and I also learned a great way to record Facetime calls from my phone in high quality. I'm not thrilled with the end result, and am kind of frustrated that I couldn't seem to get motivated tonight, but I guess it's okay to have an off night now and then. Oh and I shot this video while waiting for my Lyft back to my hotel.

    This is the closest thing I've seen to actual authentication in the amateur radio community. #echolink

    I really need an SSH server running on port 443 so I can tunnel everything on overly-restrictive wifi hotspots.
