Tomorrow, I'll have had my Ableton Move for exactly one year, so I finished a silly sequence I started a few weeks ago. Four tracks. No overdubs or weird tricks with the drum rack. Just lots of step entry and automation. I call this one Happy Saw Times, because it started out as this happy F major sawtooth thing.

On this day eight years ago, it was made public that I was awarded the Polhem Prize 2017

A few days later I was handed a gold medal by the King of Sweden.

I'm picking up food for someone. I go to the address. It's a bland building in a strip mall with a logo printed on 8.5x11 and taped to the window. There's three cars in the parking lot. There's no menu. Just a desk. I'm here to pick up the order for John. I'm given a bag that smells like it's full of deep fried ambrosia. I only briefly see the arm of the person handing it to me. No words are spoken.

I'm picking up food for someone. The restaurant is called Bait and Tackle. I pull up to a Hooters. Was the address wrong? No, the app tells me. It's in the Hooters. There's a restaurant hiding in the restaurant. I get a second order, for chicken, from a different restaurant. It's in the Hooters. I get a third order, for a beating heart, from a different restaurant. It's in the Hooters. I'm in the Hooters. I go deliver to an apartment. I drive for a half hour. I get to the apartment. It's in the Hooters.

I'm picking up food for someone. I go to the address. It's a grocery store. The delivery isn't for groceries. I go and ask the cashier where Tony's is. The cashier says "Let me help you" while their eyes say "run." I'm lead to the back. There's three tables here. The chairs are on the tables. They're locked in place. There's a window behind the tables. I hear sizzling. A voice asks who I'm picking up for. I give a name. The name is theirs now. I am given a brown bag by something I tell myself is a hand. It was not a hand. I tell myself it is. The bag is covered in grease stains. I tell myself the stains are grease. It was not grease.

I'm picking up food for someone. I go to the address. It's a home. Just a house. There's a sign in front. I wonder if this is safe or legal. I go to the front door. Do I go in? Do I knock? The mailslot opens. A voice asks me who I'm picking up for. It's the same voice. They've all had the same voice. I show them the name. There is a growl. Is that a dog? It is a house. It must be a dog. I'm given a brown bag through the mail slot. It's the same brown bag I left at the last house. My fingerprints are on it.

I'm picking up food for someone. The restaurant is called Burger Den. I pull up to a Denny's. Was the address wrong? No. It's in the Denny's. I go into the Denny's. It's another Hooters. I get a second order. It's for a sandwich from a place called Melt Down. It's in the Denny's. I get a third order. It's for a 𒂍𒀀𒉌𒀭𒈠𒋮 from a place called 𒂄𒄀. It's in the Denny's. I cancel the order. I'm ready to go home.

There's a brown bag on my doorstep. My name's on it. My fingerprints are on it. I gave a name. Did I give the customer's name or my own? I open the bag. My name's in it. I left it. They gave it back. I sigh in relief, and turn around.

I'm in the Denny's.

Já obvykle nesnim, ale když už snim, tak...

...tak dneska jich bylo asi pět!

Z toho, co si pamatuju:
"#Sex na gauči, potkal jsem random pár na ulici, jezdil jsem v nákupním košíku, random pár mě dohledal na internetu a paní s jejím otcem mě přišli vydírat do mýho sklepního bytu s vytrhanýma parketama. Při odchodu z bytu začly ve dveřích hučet #sirény. Padá červený #letadlo do města/za město a hned na to sirény znovu a padá červenej #vrtulník na jinou stranu města. Z rozhlasu hlásí #vláda, že nám pomůžou hned, jak daj vše do pořádku.
Lítaj rakety, #alien střílí na jiný alieny, to všechno vidíš v záběru kolem dokola a hraje do toho #Vondráčková "Lásko má, já stůňu"<budík>"

Tak tedy #DobréRáno ... #WTF?! :D

A paint program that simulates physical pigment mixing.

A filesystem that smudges your paintings if you have two many in the same folder. You can stick empty text documents between them to help protect them.

An image viewer that simulates UV degradation. Uses the ambient light simulator to calibrate it. To protect your work, view your pieces in a dark room or paint with more expensive digital paints.

One more week! Wed. 22nd of October, 18:00, @CCDmx!

A lovely follow-up to what is no longer any #curl license violation:

If any of y'all friends are on Windows 10, 21H2 LTSC, you can run a single file that upgrades you to 22H2, since it's just an enablement package. Someone turned it into a 7-zipped .exe with the update package contents, and a .bat file that runs to install it via dism. It's at github.com/teknixstuff/misc-fi… - if you want to do it manually you can, you just need the .MSU file for KB5015684, extract the .cab file from within using 7-zip, then run dism with the same commands as listed in the setup.bat file you'll see within that other script.
Essentially, since it is just an enablement package, it's flipping switches on internally that were dorment within your existing build. This is why a 100 kilobyte update can change your entire build number up by one, it fools you a bit, but your winVer should reflect the 19045 build numbering (might still say"21H2") after you run it. It may not say 22H2 until you do: dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase - this will roll the update into your image permanently, so use only after next month when we know this combination can in fact get updates just fine. Nothing would indicate otherwise, though, since your SKU remains LTSC 2021 evven after installing this pacakge.

oh and I wanted to note. If you're *THAT* bothered by it still saying 21H2 for you, if it does, you can actually change the display info in registry, that's all the package would do anyway. Look here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, in the right-hand pane, find DisplayVersion REG_SZ 21H2. Change it to anything. Even, "fuck you Microsoft for ending support for my OS!" Then when you open Winver you would see it, like "Microsoft Windows Version Fuck you Microsoft for ending support for my oS (OS Build 19045)" - it's great. Again, messing with this display string is cosmetic, so you're not breaking your system by changing it especially after installing the package.
