  • Day 83 - Inspection

    Day 83. I think this accurately reflects my mood today. This actually started with me accidentally hitting a few notes on the piano, and I just went from there. This is one of the few times that I can't actually tell you what all the chords and harmonies are, because I just kept layering things on top that sounded good. This one also needed some percussion beyond the Logic Pro drummers. It's a combination of some manual drum track entry plus the Logic drummer.

  • Day 82 - Tense

    Day 82. Today I knew I wanted to start with the pulsing notes that got gradually faster. I jotted that down, then later decided to turn it into something that would be at the end of a scene of a TV show with a dramatic build-up and lack of resolution.

    Haven't seen that in a while. Should I try to replace the hard drive and install OS 6? Or gut it and replace the internals with a Mac Mini? 🍎📺 #apple #macintosh #macintoshSE

  • Day 82: Switching to Let's Encrypt for XRay on App Engine #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    A couple days ago, I switched most of my *.p3k.io domains over to individual Let's Encrypt certificates. It was relatively easy for the apps that are running on my main server. However, XRay is actually running on Google App Engine, which means my streamlined workflow for requesting and renewing certificates doesn't apply.

  • Day 81: Removing SMS and Clef from IndieAuth.com #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    Sadly, Clef is shutting down in a couple months. If you haven't heard of it, it was a clever way to use your email and a mobile app to sign in to websites. I had integrated Clef logins to indieauth.com as one way to authenticate your email address. Since they are shutting down in June, I am proactively removing it from the website right now.

  • Day 80: Replaced my HTTPS Certificates #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    Normally I wouldn't have let this kind of change qualify for my #100Days project, but I was blocked from using any of my indieweb tools, and I feel like there's a good lesson here.

  • Day 80 - Jupiter

    Day 80. This one is inspired by the style of Juno Reactor. There are a bunch of layers of percussion, all written manually. A light bongo track is on the 16th notes, with some accented beats. There's a simple synth bass+snare, plus a few other hits. This was a fun one! Tho it may have been fun just cause I wasn't trying to finish before going to bed like the last couple.

  • Day 79 - Faders

    Day 79. I felt like going with a guitar+bass+drum track today. The middle section needed some filling out in the mid-range frequencies, so I added some faint horns and another guitar part in the middle. I think it could still sound warmer, but wasn't sure how to get there. I spent a while getting the drums right on this one, I felt like it needed a few more accents beyond what the Logic Drummers provided.
