I used to post tracks on an online jamming platform called Wikiloops. You upload a track, you playing piano for example, then someone downloads that and adds their parts, ETC. Was really fun and looking to get back on there again. wikiloops.com

Oyes, ¿recordáis cuando medio internet daba la matraca sobre como "estar sentado es el nuevo fumar" y como nos vendían los "standing decks" como la gran revolución en el mundo de la salud laboral y casi una obligación si no querías morir de un infarto en tu silla de trabajo?

Pues acaba de salir un estudio al respecto y adivinad qué: no solo no reducen la mortalidad sino que aumentan el riesgo de varices y trombosis venosa profunda.

Speaking of #MyAdoredDaughter this morning... I don't know if I ever posted this photo.

This is ... my daughter? This is how she looks like, exactly - a beautiful, young person with long legs, and wonderful hair. And she keeps telling me "OMG, we look so alike, we could be twins..."

...

... but no, this is not a photo of her, this is a selfie of me reflected in a window. When I saw myself reflected in that window, I had to take a selfie and send it to her and she was absolutely amazed at how similar we look now, really, like twins, everything, the form, hair, posture, arms, legs, ... only her face is slightly different (and way younger, obviously 🥰

@Marco TBH, she resembles my wife more than her mother (my wife isn't her mom), but she looks more or less exactly like me. So the photo above could really be me or her, if I didn't tell you who that person is on the photo and you'd see us next to each other, you couldn't tell who that was.

But, and that's the fun part, whenever she is visiting us and we three, her, my wife and me, go out for a walk, people are 100% sure she is our daughter, because she has nearly nothing from her biological mom, but some really interesting similarities with my wife.

In my own case, I have half-half, i.e. about half of me resembles my father, and half my biological mother (as far as I can remember, and I have one single photo of her).

Lets try that again. If you haven't tried it yet, the Google Notebook LLM is quite interesting. It can take any notes, documents, manuals, etc., and create an AI-generated podcast-style output. For example, I ran last month's AppleVis Newsletter for September through this service. It's pretty long to listen to, but I was amazed by what it produced. :)

Ok, as promised here's Wordpress, very lightly modified to use SQLite as a backing store instead of MySQL.

You don't need to stand up a database, run a big machine or really much of anything, this is perfectly happy on the smallest VM you can find.

So this is a thing now. Adventures in Senior Dog Ownership. 🙄 The Old Pug is super weird about mealtimes now.
She's ravenous.
Then she won't eat.
Then she tries to eat the Retriever's food. Now she will only eat her breakfast when it's next to the Retriever. Not her dinner though. She wants her dinner other side of the kitchen next to the water dish. Ah well. Whatever makes the old gal happy. 😄

Wow! I'm making #Bandwagon -- an open source, community-focused alternative to #Bandcamp that anyone can self-host.

As of this morning, there are 99 #Musicians and #Bands who have set up #Fediverse profiles on bandwagon.fm -- and half of those already indexable on search engines.

So I'm humbled by the number of people who are giving it a go. There's obviously lots of people out there looking for something new.

I promise to do my best to give y'all the tools you deserve.

Thank you very much for the offer. At the moment there are a few missing things, such as embeddable tracks or possibly some sort of payment processor support, so I'm holding off on hosting it in production for now, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on how things will end up. Even without Fedi support, there is nothing out there which is as simple to set up and use as Bandwagon, so that's a plus as well.

I also really like the way Emissary works, it's quite inspiring and refreshing to see high quality software being contributed back to the open source community.
