@stuartgibson I was making a synthesiser module so does that mean I can say: “I’ll be Bach”?

Soldered my fucking hand tonight. My magnifying lens was too close to the PCB so there wasn’t enough space to work in. Think I need a higher strength lens.

@schwa yeah, it was probably inspired by this moment. Fuck you Bono.

@LeifB73 my phone is called Spacecowboy because some people call me Maur-reece. And I will regularly wolf whistle to myself when I see the name.

@acf I have no recollection of it now, but my first professional task was to wrap zlib for compressing WAP Push messages.

@schwa quote tweets are for Gruber link-post wannabes

@oisin ah for fucks sake. I see her on it now. Normally IMDb do acting credits before soundtrack credits, but they’ve buried her acting stuff further along the list! Cheers for helping me out!

@oisin what was the show called? I did a quick search on IMDB and it’s not got her in anything recent. Róisín Murphy is a fierce great musician. I really want to go see her next summer, but coming down to Dublin for gigs is getting very cost prohibitive.

@chriszanf and I just got an email about Thonk deals…

@chriszanf I have no plans to add the extender modules at this stage, but I’m pretty confident that scope creep will happen if I manage to get this build done successfully! I love the idea of building modules, but I need some confidence building first!

Wee bit of DIY today. Finally worked up the courage to get stuck into the Music Thing Modular Turing Machine. I was watching along with a Mylar Melodies livestream from back in March, and it was nice to feel like I was building along with him. youtu.be/aiX8HkX2bxg

Mo boosted

My AirPods Max are called Mo’s AirPods Max. For reasons that I won’t go into I have a second pair of AirPods Max, so I called them Mo’s SpairPods Max. I will never not find this hilarious.

This is not to say that death threats are acceptable, or some sort of price you have to pay for managing a social media account. They’re never acceptable.

Show thread

If I was getting actual death threats from people on social media because of something I posted on social media, the first thing I would do is stop posting on social media for a while, and I’d especially avoid interacting with people about the subject that was getting me the death threats!

@MarkXA if he apologises, would that be a sawshark redemption?

@marramgrass hell no! I am not doing Monday again!

@dmoren @ivory I saw the post within 7 minutes and was still too late!
