So apparently I put a lock code into my soldering iron while trying to set a temperature preset, but I have no idea what the code was.

This is why I now have a spreadsheet of all the numbers between 1 and 999 so that I can record which ones I’ve tried.

No, YOU stayed up to 1:30am when you noticed that episode 5 of #TheLastOfUs was already available on NowTV.

I’m trying to make Sunday my day where I try to get some modular synth action in. I’ll try to do stuff on other days too, but that’s just a bonus. I feel like I should use a hashtag and of course I want something cutesy and clever. #SynthSunday seems too generic, but I can’t think of anything more Modular specific.

That said, I’m really tempted to just use #BlinkSabbath

I regret to inform you Mastodon, but your cat will never be as beautiful as this cat. #CatsOfMastodon

Become ungovernable.

If anything perfectly sums up my relationship with my wife, it’s the fact that today I found a folder of papers and documents. They were from 2014-15 and in little sections for scanning, filing, shredding, etc. It was an obvious attempt to get me organised. So organised that she put my cheque book in it. A cheque book I’ve been searching for in vain since 2015.

No. YOU went and bought Mutable Instruments style knobs for your Rings clone. #Eurorack

What’s that sound, you ask? I suspect that is the sound of a bunch of week long trials converting to actual subscriptions for @ivory. Sounds good!

The music equipment world needs to do some work to eliminate "master/slave" terminology from its vocabulary. Primary and secondary are fine words to use.

This mini-rant was inspired by the MiniBrute 2S manual.

My 10yo daughter and I have some great conversations going to/from school. Yesterday, we tackled “rich people”. She thought that some rich people were good. I countered that if you manage to get rich, you’re probably bad, because you likely got rich on the backs of others. She agreed and has decided that anyone who has more than enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their lives, and continues to get more money, is automatically a bad person. I am so proud of her.

So disappointed this morning to realise that the move to a subscription model for @ivory was actually just a subscription testing phase and that they didn’t actually get the money!

Eldest daughter (12yo) has some friends staying over and they’re chattering excitedly about which Coldplay albums they like the most.

Shipping notification from Signal Sounds to say that my Pamela's Pro Workout is on the way. Unreasonably excited about this! #Eurorack

I like blue cheese and I cannot lie

Mostly because my breath stinks afterwards

So yeah, I bought a guitar pedal. But no, I’m not doing anything with the guitar these days. I only bought the BOSS Multi Overtone pedal because it’s called MO-2. I am that vain.

The death of Kurt Cobain when I was 16 was probably my first exposure to mental health issues. I saw a musical hero take his own life and I needed to know why. What I learned became the basis for dealing with my own mental health issues, and probably made the difference between me asking for health and taking my own life.

I still wish he’d stuck around, though.
