This week I redistributed some left over building materials from a few projects, to avoid them going to waste.
Kreator were a bit underwhelming. Lots of props, pyro, confetti guns and intro backing tracks meant the crowd lost energy between songs. Their crowd interaction is always the same (like, scripted) in each gig, feeling unauthentic.
They sadly had persistent mix issues through at least half of the set, including guitars cutting out several times, and an imbalance between drums and guitars.
The new songs were good, but I felt they never managed to get the crowd going.

Quick post-gig review. Unfortunately missed Nails and Exodus due to transport issues, though caught the last 5 minutes of Exodus and it sounded good.
Carcass were excellent, doing a stonking set with a last-minute substitute drummer (Walt Väyrynen from Opeth) on no rehearsals at all. Minor mix issues quickly fixed and then they had everyone headbanging along the whole way through.
I think they said two sentences through their whole set.
Sadly a short set, only 45 mins.

Bought gig tickets from a company which wasn’t Ticketmaster because everything about Ticketmaster is awful. Turns out this other company subcontracts its ticketing to Ticketmaster, and now I have *two* Ticketmaster accounts and a high blood pressure.

I think this post from @kusma resonates quite well with my thoughts about LLMs

It’s a well written post, but if there needs to be a tl;dr for a toot, then as applied to my point of view the tl;dr is: I don’t care how good Claude seems to be, I’m not using it on ethical grounds.
Due to the fire on Union Street, the old carriage entrance has been opened up to provide an alternative way into Central Station in Glasgow. This gives a chance to see some of the massive girders which support the station's main concourse. Looking very much like parts from a giant meccano set, they've been holding up the station for well over 100 years.

if you like Auroras and Bobby and want to help bring my design work to other #FOSS projects, I’m looking for sponsors. :)
This week I did some more car sharing and blocked up some draughts in a building I help maintain, to reduce its heating bills.
