Apple’s Fine Woven cases seemed to go down very badly with the commentators, but I’m very much missing my Fine Woven case after 3 days with a silicone case.

@marramgrass I like that the Metropolix has the immediacy of sliders and switches, but also feels like complex jiggery pokery because you can apply mod lanes to the 2 tracks and even output the mod lanes independently. I love this explainer video from one of my favourite synthy people: https://youtu.be/FHr6AlI1KOE?si=-xbA7b5AX04ShTi9

@marramgrass I like the idea of a Digitakt but I think it gets me too far from the intimacy of the modular system.

@marramgrass I only ever used BooTracker on my Amstrad. I’ve been using a Metropolix Eurorack sequencer later. You can see it on this (bottom left): https://youtu.be/LAACwr2lVOU

@marramgrass any particular rabbits that you’re following in said rabbit hole?

@marramgrass well, I followed a link while browsing for bargain Roland Juno-106s.

Yes. I bought a Roland Juno-106. And I’d do it again, dammit!

@marramgrass only 2.5k! Bargain!

I accidentally looked at Roland Jupiter 8s and now I get 20k synths recommended.

@joshua @acf both perspectives can be true. If they built heavily on this ecosystem then it’s world-ending FOR THEM, but it doesn’t mean the rest of us have to grab a brown paper bag to regulate our breathing because we didn’t invest so much in that ecosystem.

@GrantMeStrength since I stopped using semicolons in programming I’ve been able to use them in my prose; they come in handy sometimes.

@vinnycoyne @PadraigOCinneide isn’t this how Apache used to work? After handling a set number of requests each httpd process would terminate and be replaced so that the impact of memory leaks wouldn’t compound.

I use a similar, but a bit more expensive. I use Eve smart plugs that I can switch off and on again from HomeKit.

@ianRobinson that man is an insufferable dunt

@shezza_t if you lived with me, saying that would have been the trigger for my arse to make an appearance.

@jackwellborn ah well. It was nice to have hope for just a little while 🙂

@jackwellborn what are you playing it on? Please be Switch, please be Switch!

@antonyjohnston it’s one of my favourite movies. It’s cleverly written, it’s fantastically acted, the action is relentless, the setting is captivating, and the soundtrack is banging.

If I could find the time, I would watch it on a weekly basis!

@antonyjohnston we once had a Halloween playlist for our office party that was just Ghost Town on repeat. The joke wore thin really quickly but at least it’s a good song to piss people off with.

@antonyjohnston to me, Ghost Town will always be the Irish national anthem, thanks to Father Ted.

@antonyjohnston RIP my beautiful ninth
