Website

Monday, November 25th, 2024

I’ve been wanting a new website for a while now, but can’t settle on a design I like. Got so sick of looking at it I’ve put up something temporary. Which probably means it’s not temporary.

The old one feels really lifeless, and this isn’t much better, but at least feels like it has room to evolve.

Holiday Videos

Tuesday, May 28th, 2024

Trying the Internet Archive for video hosting. They generate a very small, low quality MP4 version of the MOV files my camera makes, so I’ll need to experiment with my own MP4s next time, but at least they also store the original files. I think I’ll finally get round to getting off Youtube.

Perfume Log

Thursday, February 15th, 2024

I’ve started a new blog to keep track of notes on perfumes I’ve tried.

I still have to add some features, primarily tags, but it’s working fine for now.

Also I finally got tags setup on my music blog. The only downside of Textpattern is that tag support isn’t built-in, and you have to fiddle with a not very well documented plugin to use them.

The Great Order of the Universe

Wednesday, February 1st, 2023

My game Touch Love is in the opening show of a new studio/exhibition space in New York. I was probably a bit demanding for small DIY space, but they’re kindly going to the effort of setting it up with two Wii nunchuck controllers instead of a keyboard :)

Also in the show is:

Meant to be a small thing. You have to RSVP on Eventbrite to get the address.

Five small pages from my wiki

Wednesday, May 25th, 2022

Actually, my favourite part of having a wiki is all the small pages that barely have anything on them, but slowly grow over time. So here’re some of those:

Five pages from my wiki

Tuesday, May 24th, 2022

I’m a little secretive about my wiki, but it’s probably the thing I work on the most. I guess it’s mostly videogame, Linux, and J-pop stuff, so doesn’t seem worth sharing most of the time. Trying to find five pages that had enough stuff and weren’t about these things was tough, but I’ve spared you Linux ones at least.

I’d like to incorporate it more across my other web projects, using it to tie them together, so I’m going to be using a different colour on wiki links to make them clearer, and I’ll be using the nice green colour (#008800) DokuWiki uses.

J-POP LANDSCAPES

Wednesday, September 15th, 2021

I’ve started a new blog to collect together photos from J-pop videos.

Been sitting on this song for a year and a half, but just finished the video.

Sorry if you didn’t make the list!

Roland TR-8 Pattern Sheet

Monday, July 27th, 2020

I made a simple template for recording patterns made with my Roland TR-8 drum machine.

Might add a section for recording the knobs (empty circles you mark?), as hand-doing those is a bit of a pain, and so-far that’s been most of the what I use the note space for anyway.
