If you have old software that uses CDDB to retrieve track info for CD playback and you want it to still work (CDDB and FreeDB are gone), I got you:

Considering creating a Bandcamp artist account so I can eventually release some original music there. Should I release music under my own name, or should I come up with some music project name/alias that would hopefully not end up sounding conceited?

What I’m listening to today: Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Suzanne Ciani - Sunergy:
https://kaitlynaureliasmith.bandcamp.com/album/frkwys-vol-13-sunergy

Electronic music made with Buchla synthesizers, collaboratively by two experts in their use. This music is my preferred flavor of ambient — enough going on to keep me musically engaged, but not so much that you can’t get lost in it.

FRKWYS Vol. 13: Sunergy, by Suzanne Ciani & Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Hello Mastodon!

Three months ago I left Twitter and have been without a text-based social media in my life.

Recently I have realised that I miss having a place to share what I’m working on and what I’m excited about

I’m trying to make more healthy choices about how much I use social media, but I want to be able to have this outlet as well as my podcasts.

So from now, you can find me here!

Thank you for bearing with me, and being interested in what I’m doing.

I appreciate you.

🤓✌️

Decided against using the SwiftUI Form layout for Trip Planner options and created a more traditional macOS layout. This is the before/after. I don't care for modern layouts becoming more List-y. It's lazy design.

Interesting day — badly sprained my wrist, and then finally got around to watching Perfect Blue for the first time.

So someone sneaked in a few shot of protracker in the Madoff Netfix docu series and disguised it as a banking software :D :D

Extremely cursed errata, found in a @hackaday thread:

“All parts exhibit unintended restart behavior, typically between 45 second to 5 minutes after first power up. The restart behavior occurs once per device through its lifetime and does not occur again after first power up.”
