A monster got into my workshop today! http://flic.kr/p/bqQJkd

Woke up to a freshly glued hurdy Gurdy. That's a good feeling.

Go bars are supposed to make things easier! And yet I've spent the last two hours wrestling with them. Ah well, cake now.

Secret Gurdy Feature: This image showed a secret feature, so I had to block it out in accordance with the laws of secrecy (Chapter 14, Section 47, Sub-section 19: If a photo contains something secret, it must be blended up in a manner most unusual) http://flic.kr/p/bCLGr6

It occurred to me that I haven't really shown anyone inside my workshop, so here's a shot of me with my gurdy mockup and one corner of it: flickr.com/photos/53044388@N05/6830794108/in/photostream

More #gurdy progress — spent the morning routing some of the keyslots http://www.flickr.com/photos/53044388@N05/sets/72157629073455152/

Here's a little video of my current Gurdy build, 1/3 of the way through: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPvyiA9MTi4

More gurdy progress: The compulsory 'photo with all the pegs in', as the top linings go in http://www.flickr.com/photos/53044388@N05/sets/72157629073455152/

Another productive day's hurdy gurdy making, although I was annoyed to find my salvaged MIDI ports only had three of the five connectors :(

Just off to a wildlife film showing, 'the fly'. Will it be better or worse than last years film, about giant radioactive ants?

Some more progress on the #gurdy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/53044388@N05/sets/72157629073455152/

Progress has been made on my current Hurdy Gurdy build! http://dia.so/2cX

I'm looking for #linux #effects processors which can be controlled programatically, preferably by #Python. Any recommendations?

Er… My top bar has gone blank… #diaspora #bug

#ios safari tip: closed a tab by accident? Turns out you can re open recently closed tabs by holding down the new tab button.

Culinary insight of the day: if you make a curry with curry paste, but put milk in instead of cream, it tastes suspiciously like salt and vinegar crisps, but mushed up with quorn and onion. I.E. hideous.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7yDM_Rik3s my version of Nigel Eaton's 'halsway carol'. Originally played on a Hurdy Gurdy, then copied by various other instruments, this is my iPad/animoog version. #music #ipad
