Whatever nutrient I've been missing since I got over food poisoning this weekend seems restored after lunch today. Had a weird hollow feeling until this afternoon. Seaweed?

Christine Lemmer-Weber et al on Pet Names
This is a nice idea, I love how simply it shows relationships and provenance while at the same time making namespace-squatting (like high-priced coveted .coms) irrelevant.

I have had dreams about finding libraries of mini CDs with delicate sounds, intricate designs, and other stimmy things. There's something wholesome about this that is hard to express within capitalism. Like dreaming about finding booklets or journals with lost communication. Delightfully secret documents, like the note you leave for your friend in the secret place you both know about.
Update: it is a beautiful day today in Winona.

I'm still cleaning up the astrid cython module, it's pretty exciting. I discovered a really bad aspect
of the previous architecture that was difficult to see until I pulled the new Renderer class out of the
catch-all Instrument. Briefly, the instrument cache was (of course...

Whew -- I guess I'm about a month into rewriting all of astrid's IPC. It has been a while coming,
but I'm pretty happy with the new interfaces.
astrid_shared_resource_t * astrid_session_aquire_shared_resource(astrid_session_t * session, char * name, int resource_type);
int ...

I'm glad I'm through that refactor! There's more to do (the most exciting of which is getting rid of
buffer serialization / deserialization which should speed up long renders) but python instruments are
thankfully working again after tearing out all the old IPC plumbing. I...

I have an ongoing problem: features I develop in C which run cleanly often seem to break in strange ways when wrapped for python instruments.
Strange, inscrutible ways usually with messages just never arriving, or threads seeming going totally silent. When I manage to catch ...

I started reworking autotriggers in astrid again this weekend... I think this time they're nicer, simpler: basically just an array of structs in shared memory.
The structs have an interval, a phase, and a payload field with a corresponding enum that indicates the type of th...

I decided to clean up the astrid instruments in the repo a bit on a whim tonight, and add a makefile template (partly inspired by the electro-smith daisy project, and partly anti-inspired by arduino's annoyingly magic tooling) that can be used as a base to make it easier to...
