Barnaby Walters

Arranging atoms and pressurising air in a variety of manners, such as:

Pronouns: they/he

  1. Last minute reminder: VAKA is in Akureyri from this Wednesday! Join us for four days of Northern European folk music, dancing, workshops and crafts.

  2. Just bought my one-way flight out of Iceland. In just under a month I say goodbye to this beautiful island for the near future. I shall be writing more soon about my experiences here, and what I’m getting up to next!

  3. Installed Opera for testing and it somehow set itself as my default browser without asking. Anyone know how it manages this somewhat shady settings change? Mac OS 10.9

  4. Looking through archives, I realise the real reason I stopped doing animation was after coming up with “The Spaghetti Entanglement”, I realised that nothing I ever made would be worthy of that name.

  5. Aaaah I only just realised the Eurovision final was tonight. Now, should I find a friend to watch it with, or try to figure out how my TV works?

  6. solarference: @BarnabyWalters awesome! have fun reverse-engineering Three Sisters - happy to give hints if you need them :) -n

    @solarference thanks :) Right now I’m most curious about the lyrics — are they from a source, or arranged? I can find many songs with similar structures or names, but none quite the same as yours.

  7. solarference: @BarnabyWalters which effect was it Barnaby? Saw your patch but couldn't work it out... -n #puredata

    @solarference beat slicing sampler, divides the recording up into n chunks and plays them back randomly. There were some bugs in the version I screenshotted (e.g. mistaking sample number for millisecond delay) which are now fixed. I’m currently working on reproducing as much of The Three Sisters as I can figure out from the recording.

  8. deray mckesson: The biker gangs have put out a call for retaliation on the police, who killed some of their members. And still no State of Emergency. Waco.

    Reading @deray’s tweets about biker violence in Waco and how it’s being reported, it took me a while to realise that “Waco” is a place, and not a denouncement of these events as “wacko”. Totally applies, esp. to the way the media is reacting :/

  9. Just realised that increasing the dimensions of an element onscreen when it is hovered over creates a “natural”, visual schmitt trigger effect.
