Years ago I was stuck on a tricky JS bug, I Googled it and ended up on a decent answer on StackOverflow. I implemented it, and it worked! I went back to SO and upvoted the answer, and it said "You can't upvote your own answer" Huh!??? Yes, it was my own answer from years back. Thanks, me!

Glad I left a trace.

Oh wow, I hadn't seen inuxdaw.org - similar concept. Next plan is a weekly (automated) newsletter for the latest plugins. But really just to keep it growing and keep feeding it. I actually love browsing plugin sites, so I built a chrome extension that can automatically add a plugin from a page I'm on. I have to choose the image and videos though.

I recently built a physics-driven auto-panner based on PONG, so I can also play PONG inside my DAW. https://portwaydsp.com

I also built https://plugins.audio - a Dribbble-esque showcase of audio plugins.

It's been a dream to be able to work in the audio software space. I've been a musician, designer, coder all my life, and had a few moonlights with building audio plugins over the years. But now with AI at hand, I can use it to fill that missing technical requirement while still retaining my domain expertise (music/design).

Lovely. Great attention to detail and a brilliant resource for students.

Nice work! Haven’t seen anything like this before. It makes me happy that people do stuff like this. Small experiments often open up big new design ideas.

These bring back memories. When I was young, my dad was a computer engineer for Olivetti and he used to bring all sorts of weird and wonderful printers and plotters home. We had a drawer of these golf balls in the garage and I used to play with them, throwing them about in the garden. I was fascinated by them.

Pretty happy with Warp so far. The vertical tabs are a game changer, having all my projects down the side and flipping between them (each one having multiple split terminals) works really well compared with horizontal tabs. Looking forward to each update.

As a type nerd, I was very happy with Grammarly swapping my dashes to em dashes. But now everyone associates em dashes with AI, I can no longer enjoy that luxury.

Not millions, but still, they have a point.

Relearning and reconnecting..

Buy the cassette 4-track I had in ‘93 and reconnect with my teenage self - record whole songs on it, not worrying about sound quality and knob tweaking. It is what it is.

I can't help thinking AI would have done a better job of this image (no disrespect to the artist)

I know this is bad, and some people's livelihood and lives rely on critical infrastructure, but when these things happen, I sometimes think GOOD!, let's all just take a breather for a minute yeh? Go outside.

It feels like a waste of my time to archive, delete or even read emails if its subject doesn’t look important. I haven’t deleted or archived an email since 2004. There are always 10k+ unread. But I’m fine with that, I glance at the list, then close it. No effort. Works for me. Search is my friend.

Does anyone see multitrack recording happening well in-browser?

Has anyone tried BandLab? Aside from the social slop and recent aggressive advertising, their recording app is super impressive, glitch free, low latency, easy to use and sounds great.

Or will this always be the domain of installable software?

This is quite thought provoking in our capitalist world. Fills you with dread that this could actually be a thing.
