Yay been working on my website again for the past few weeks of spare time.

Got the basics implemented with some random coloration, glyph selection, weird glitchy thing… and it's listening for the kick drum coming from Orca (no sound in video though). Next up is rendering images from sets using these glyphs 🫣 …still not entirely sure what I'm doing…

Idk what I'm doing exactly, but I got Conway's Game of Life running in the command line and now I'm thinking about how cellular automatons could be manipulated by signals coming from other apps. Specifically interested in what it would be like to have "living" visuals that are in some way representative of the patterns being sent from #orca

Doing woodworking with mostly hand tools today, building a little shelf for the kitchen :3

this has been a joy to make so far. Love seeing everything just click into place.

I've been playing around with a laser engraver. #theWorkshop


I had a feeling that it would be a pain in the ass to debug our pedal circuit board while it was inside it's enclosure so I took some time and made a little test bed with some jacks and a power source to help test this little PCB, it made the whole process a whole lot fun so far!

I started making a personal varvara/uxn emulator. mainly for fun, but also I want to maybe modify it for my own needs in the future, and the implementation of uxnemu is waaay over my head right now, so i thought the best way to understand it is to make one from scratch.

so far i'm going over uxn opcodes one by one. though i'd share something, so here are its first words

Putting the youngest to bed and coding while he's asleep next to me. I've written a nice list component that let's you easily browse a lot of data, shuffling rows up and down the screen intuitively. No audio in the gif obviously but the samples play as you select them. I'm adding the ability to record your own samples too, which can be used seriously but I thought my kids would find it funny to record nonsense and sequence it. #playdate #theWorkshop


with the lately implemented chaining J/Y, making an OR of some bangs is as easy as plugging them into a long line of lowercase y, and that's neat

Tape Looper is launched if anyone wants it, each sale will buy me a pint of beer for the rare occasions I get some child-free time: https://orllewin.github.io/playdate/tape_looper/

Circuit boards for the [Open Book](https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book/tree/reboot) have arrived! I'm making two, but I have three spares if anyone else would like to build one! #oshw #ebook #theWorkshop


Claimed an hour for myself because my wife's heading out with some of the other mums tonight and the kids are ON ONE.

Anyway, here's 'Tape Looper', I just want to add a couple more features before releasing it on itch.io: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npi0kCOo6jk #theWorkshop #playdate


Nécomèdre has met up with some old friends.

#theWorkshop New colour pencil study, maybe a bit too derivative to be really happy with but hey it's a journey, right?


Made a lil schematic for my personal use when working with an ATmega328P.

Always wanted to make a mech, mocked up a little spiderbot. #theWorkshop


scim, my little utliity for scanning from the command line can now also crop images. #theWorkshop


I’ll make more permanent fittings, but my idea for a metal frame housing for this SBC and display seems to work. #theWorkshop


implemented per-page theming for my lil static site gen this evening, and took a moment to clean up the css a bit 😀

I picked up knitting again recently. I made this cozy for a mason jar and tried to felt it, but it didn't shrink at all. Oh, well! It fits on a quart jar instead of on the half-quart. #theWorkshop #knitting #felt #masonjar


alright - this 88x31 badge is ready to post.

my new website is coming together! using self-made SSG made in my own LISP language. launch soon~

#theWorkshop


found this old Print Gocco set at our local reused art supply store - I’m intrigued to see what (if anything) I can do with it!

I think the first step will be rereading @HXLNT’s blog posts on the subject: https://www.nobadmemories.com/blog/2022/05/printmaking-as-play/

I finally got a video for a performance i did this summer, livecoding with ORCA

(i also look a bit like i'm playing chess)

Currently playing some more with my website, added my sigil and name on all the pages to tie the whole thing together. I'm thinking of replacing all the illustrations I had on the home page and a couple of other places with new ones in that style.

one of my favourite things about developing Dead End and #minicube64 is how I can see the code and data and get a very intuitive feel about how much room I have to work with. This is what some of it looks like in 16K, the rest of it is uncompressed graphics stuff
#theWorkshop


today i added a feature to folderkit that let you delay all the received messages by a little amount (from 0 to 1 orca frame time), this amount controlled by sending messages to /w

so now i can have shuffle timings by sequencing messages to /w

DEC PDP-11/70 kit build in progress with the blinkenlights working! (actually running a simulator on a raspberry pi) Next step is soldering on lots of colorful switches. This kit is from Oscar at https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11
