Just so much great riffing going on in this collection of fantastic songs. They have enough non-4/4-parts and tempo changes to make it interesting without making it hard to follow. There are some tasty guitar solos, too. “Drill the Skull” is my favourite, with this insanely awesome middle section.

The GOG.COM Summer Sale started this week. I wanted to see which items from my wishlist might be priced low enough that I might buy them without an extra thought. The usual sale page lets anyone scroll down to the full catalog of items and pick a “Sort by” value of “Price”. ...

A lot of grumbling has been felt from broadcasters after ESC 2025. I am often not too bothered by it, as I really dislike hypocritical reactions after the fact. All these broadcasters knew all the rules, probably better than the public when they decided to sign up. There hav...

This week, the second Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf took place. This time, 5 people attended. After a round of introducing each other including website, we once more had a good chat about a variety of IndieWeb topics. And this time, we all did some coding, too. For example, Jochen made some commits to his django-indieweb project, Mark added some rel=me links and Microformats markup, and I fixed my Atom feed’s updated date to truly show the date they have been updated (which is quite relevant for example when sending WebSub notifications).

The next HWC DUS is scheduled for July 24th.

You know the problem when you accidentally or naively committed on the main Git branch, but then you’re too far coding something that turns out to need more and more (unexpected) work, and you find yourself not able to deploy to production? Yep, happened to me today (again).

This was my entry album into Russian Circles. And it’s still my favourite, probably because of being my first. We saw them on tour back then in Auckland, NZ. And I still remember how that end part of “309” blew me away: first that drum beat, and then this thunderous bass. So heavy! And even better live.

I never played with Turtle graphics. I think I came to computers before that was the tool folks used to show off computers to kids. Angelo added a Turtle interpreter which is pretty fun. I added to his code, my addition adds a yellow square. He has an export tool to get a graphic out....

Thanks to Jo’s post Playlist of the Week I added the song Metamorphosis by the band Infinity Song. The link for that mix is here. As of this writing it has 57 songs on it. I’ve talked about my annual playlists before but I add the songs as they hit me and I like them....

Solide Unterhaltung. Der Wald war cool, Max Giermann war cool. Der Tochter hat's gefallen. Wir haben im Kino zu viel Popcorn gefuttert.

Florian asks everyone to please add their email address to their RSS feeds. Because then, FeedCity lets you directly reply to any of that feed’s posts via email (it’s a simple mailto: link).

Of course, I want you to do this, too! It’s one of those many underutilised data from a feed that can be really useful.

One thing to note is, that FeedCity won’t show the email reply button publicly (in FeedCity, all feeds have a public page) – it’s only shown for logged in users (or “citizens” as I call them). Prevents any email harvesting bots from gathering those addresses from the site.

North of Crystal Pier today I had a pretty good session of waves today. There’s a swell that came in but mostly is making Orange County have good waves. But we got a pulse of swell too. So it was good. Afterward, as I was walking to my car, I spotted a fellow at a...

I’m keeping on posting every time I hit the beach. Waveride quality keeps going up. I’m better at riding waves partly because I’m learning and practicing new actions. It’s a sort of dance with the waves. It’s a kind of conversation. I periodically update the videos page with new videos captured because I use Dawn...
