Oh wow. I just spotted an oddball hotel I've stayed up for sale.
A lovely nine bedroom / nine bathroom home (!) near the seafront in Brighton if your eyes have the constitution for it 👀
Worth the virtual tour for the crazy decor:

Bumping this for exposure ☝️
It's likely to be my first public 30 minute Strudel performance. This will be a significant milestone. One of my goals this year is to build up endurance.
I've been throwing some patterns around for practice. I think I've got a strong core for it. As usual, I'm going to arrive with a bunch of slightly polished ideas and try to explore them further on the night. Already pretty pumped for it!

My Christmas break is finally over, but it's been pretty productive. Zero Wing Neo Geo port is nearly complete! Just a few bugs and CD support to wrap-up then we're done!. Here's a level show reel.

#Newcastle / North East folks who enjoy live electronic music:
We've got an evening of synth sets and livecoding on Sunday 18th January at The Little Buildings.
I'll be doing some #strudel, and some of the Klang all-stars will be bringing their talents too. We don't have many of these in Newcastle, so come join us for what promises to be a very soulful event.

A quick and very rough write up of the only bit of creative coding I did this year, a #keograph of the sky over #gateshead https://www.theapproachablegeek.co.uk/blog/keogram/

Recording the sky in 2026 with scripts and old hardware

Many many years ago I stood in a queue at MakeFaire Newcastle (maybe around 2010?) and chatted to an American chap, name long forgotten, who mentioned his friend who had pointed a digital camera at the sky somewhere in the US (Bay Area?) and was taking a picture every minute to create a giant art installation. I did eventually track them down (they blogged about it) but I can’t find the link or remeber any of the names involved.

I made a venn diagram to help you understand Moiré patterns.

Happy new year! During 2025 my all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds, and this picture shows what happened in the sky. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.
