Released php-mf2 v0.2.9 with GPG signed tags and verification guide (blogpost coming soon), hProduct backcompat support. packagist.org/packages/mf2/mf2#v0.2.9 github.com/indieweb/php-mf2#v029

Participating in my first ever W3C telcon. It’s rather a strange experience.

My first puredata patch: Canoner! A cross between a delay and a looper, this patch allows you to play canons solo.

Hit Start/Round as you start playing, then again at a round point, and the patch will continue to play what you played with that delay until you hit Stop.

Extending the canoner to support n>2 part canons is left as an exercise for the reader.

At first this page on the bagpipe society website looks like a perfectly normal webpage.

But take a closer look:

That woman has SHAUN THE SHEEP BAGPIPES

OBJECTIVELY BEST BAGPIPES EVER

WHY ARE ALL BAGPIPES NOT LIKE THIS

I HEREBY DECREE THAT ALL NON-SHAUN BAGPIPES ARE INFERIOR AND MUST BE CONVERTED

NON-SHAUN BAGPIPE PLAYERS, REPORT TO YOUR NEAREST CONVERSION FACILITY FOR UPGRADE

Musicians+bands: please put a paypal donate button or similar on your site so that when it’s easier for people to torrent your music rather than buying copies (physically or digitally) we can still give you money. We want to give you money!

Beautiful chart plotting first+second formants of vowels:

After almost two years of mainly playing the gurdy and recorder, I can feel the accordion calling me again. It’s saying “Remember all that stuff you miss, like chords, polyphony and 4 octaves range? I can do that! Pick me! Pick meeeeee!”

Checked into Grillmarkaðurinn

And that’s what happens when I try writing HTML on an iPhone.

Taking a night off reading exciting book about trees to watch Labyrinth so maybe I’ll understand all the stuff @aaronpk and @caseorganic are posting.

Partial list of tunes learnt over this summer’s festival trip:

• L’Inconnu de Limoise
• William Taylor’s Tabletop Hornpipe
• De Montford
• Superfly
• I’m Not Fed Up With The Pacific Ocean
• Mazurka de Gilles Chabenat

Several more unlisted due to not being on the web (or I can’t spell them properly).

shaunsgameacademy.co.uk looks like an excellent initiative from Aardman, providing resources and education for making Shaun-themed games in Scratch.

First attempt at #skyr making resulted in some rather nice cheese curds and a tonne of whey, but nothing resembling skyr. Followed julesfood.blogspot.com/2011/04/skyrhomemade-icelandic-yogurt.html going to try simnet.is/gullis/jo/Miscellaneous.htm next as it’s quite a bit more detailed.

Yesterday I dug out this rather odd #gurdy track from January:

It was recorded after a visit to Hayling Island, wherein we found an assortment of sea creatures, all of whom, according to tradition, were called Gordon. One was alive, and thus the tune was named.
