2022-10-02 from the editor of ~insom ------------------------------------------------------------ Now: Looptober is happening again. I did some of 2020 but not 2021. I had fun in 2020 and I had my modular setup still, but since deciding that hardware is just an expensive consumptive hobby ... I haven't actually noodled around much and made music. But now I have, a little. I did buy a piece of hardware -- a Launchpad Mini -- but it's pretty cheap and it's certainly cost a lot less than Eurorack did. The key, for me, is to have the means of making music always available. Having the Launchpad _always_ plugged into my PC makes it the kind of thing I can do on a whim at lunchtime. I'm going to Toronto (again!) for work, and so I'll try and keep up with Looptober just using my iPad. This is hopefully another positive forcing function, as I actually bought this iPad (in-part) to make music with, and I have done comparatively little of that. I'm mostly drawn and watched Youtube. --- "Goyo" mode is nice, in vim. I had it installed and forgot about it, then I saw mention of it somewhere so I went to install it and remembered I'd meant to try it before. Whoops.
