Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about Blosxom!

I take it from your post that it is no more?

This looks great!

I have a very minor feature request: MIDI loops! Add a button on top of the device: Press once to record, press again to stop. Quantize on/off available via the app.

Awesome stuff!!!

I know this is a minor gripe, but something isn't right with the https version of this site.

> DX'ing and contesting

apologies, I'm ignorant when it comes to HAM but have always been interested in it: what does DX'ing and contesting mean? I'm assuming DX = talking to other HAMs, but I can't figure out what contesting would be.

> If someone is interested, I will link my GitHub repo.

I'm very interested...this post has encouraged me to play with aerc again, and the first filter you posted is something I have always wanted in an email client!

ha! I just posted a comment saying that very thing...I was confused.

Initially I thought they were referring to fossil SCM:

https://www2.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

Since fossil SCM has been around awhile, the author might consider a name change to avoid confusion?

granted, it is a little snarky and maybe the snark isn't appropriate in today's tech environment. but no, things like "useless use of cat" do not need to go away, because they make me better at what I do in little ways. those little ways add up over time.

> but looking up the arguments and their ordering is annoying

you seem to be arguing for complacency. taking your idea to an extreme, why learn to do _anything_ well?

what a fascinating story! I had no idea that it was so easy to get that close to Bach's actual manuscripts.

I would love to hear more about your conversation with Yo-Yo Ma. have you written down any of this stuff somewhere?

This is what I'm curious about - I remember seeing that DD is no longer maintaining aerc...

I really dig this, but if I issue a command like cd, the output should only be showed to the person who issued the command.

but this is really fun! nice job!

same exact thing here.

> when I moan about the processing power of my oldish MacBook Pro

I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt humbled by that very same thing! I frequently find myself focused on why my machine can't run the latest-and-greatest piece of music software, when I really should be focusing on making music with the tools I have available.

Musician here...

I find it interesting that you dismissed sex/reproduction as not being part of the human experience. I can think of no other act more fundamental to the human experience, save breathing and eating.
