Saw another lovely thing in the #Pianodrome, a semi-secret gig by S!nk, their house band, making a live recording of a soundtrack to accompany a screening of "Battleship Potemkin". One of a series of silent movie soundtracks they were commissioned to make years back and are now recording, with a luckily invited audience to lend them a receptive atmosphere

Learning now there's a whole genre of Battleship Potemkin soundtracks, including one by the Pet Shop Boys!

Enjoyed the experience. I've never sat so still trying to be silent! The trio rattle around switching instruments, not always the piano in the mix. There's a wee bit of electronics. The score sometimes dominates the film, sometimes the other way round, sometimes gels perfectly

They're doing it again tomorrow and still have space free, if you're interested PM me for the link :) #Edinburgh

An Easter-themed family lunch, my mum and son are initiating themselves into The Way of the Air-Fryer but i am resisting

Just can't see a middle way between no air-fryer, and dementedly air-frying all the things for weeks, months, air-fried cabbage, air-fried cheese, air-fried pickled radish, etc, it is better not to start

I contributed a slow-cooked stew of halal lamb, apricots in it, didn't even taste before bringing it, in the worst case we drizzle its juice over all the air-fried things

inspired by @pikesley 's recent graphics noodling i have fully removed the #tildagon badge from its electrostatic bag, peeled off the sticky cover from its dinky round screen, and connected it up to the Thonny IDE, where i am looking at its repl in a spirit of "now what" - graphics, sensors, both?

I never got the micropython drivers for the thermal camera working properly, but this would be incentive to have another go, display either an object/background readout with the single-pixel one or an extremely low-resolution heatmap with the 16x16 one

Or maybe the ultrasonic distance sensor driivng the LEDs, though that's a chonky thing to put on an already chonky badge

Anyway i ordered a couple of these protoboard hexpansions https://www.tindie.com/products/jakew/protoboard-hexpansion/ and can now stop thinking about it until they turn up :)
