I’m a recent migrant to the Elektron ecosystem — my Digitakt II and Digitone II have inspired me to make music since I got them. While they don’t replace my DAW or other hardware, they’re a great addition. I love that they can be self-contained, using either unit or both …
It’s been nice to be in a band again. I missed having a couple nights a week of music that don’t require me to do all the creating. And having somewhere to go on a Friday or Saturday night is good too. As a bonus, all the band members are …
This post is mainly aimed at my bass playing friends but also other types of musicians might enjoy it. I just got through reading the latest revision of Ted Gould‘s book and felt compelled to share this review. With his new book (iTunes link), Ted skillfully bridges the gap between the …
I get quite a bit of email notification from Pagure, the free (as in freedom!), Python-based git forge. I have and participate in several repos there. Pagure sends me email when there’s a new or updated issue, pull request, or commit to a repo I monitor. Previously, all that email for me …
Here’s my point (TL;DR*): Write to be read.** Where do I get off? As you read this, don’t forget: I’m speaking from experience as a bad writer of email! I’ve made every mistake I point out here, and most of them countless times over. I have lots of room to improve as a writer. But in the same …
A lot of people I know like running the Irssi IRC client in a terminal, whether in a terminal multiplexer like tmux or GNU Screen. Me too! I also love running the latest GNOME releases. So when GNOME 3.12 was released and available for Fedora 20, I followed these simple …
Someone asked me a few weeks ago whether I knew how to change the default font size in GNOME 3 on Fedora. I have all my boxes on Fedora 17 since before the release, with GNOME 3.4. I had to admit that I’d never looked for how to change the …
After I answered a question on the devel list today about getting one’s hands on an old testing package for Fedora that had been obsoleted or removed, Josh Boyer one-upped me by providing some easy instructions. I figured I would tip my fedora to him by building a blog post …
This comes in really handy in ~/.screenrc: shelltitle ‘$ |bash’ Then add this in ~/.bashrc: export PROMPT_COMMAND='[ “$TERM” == “screen” ] && echo -n -e “\033k\033\\\”‘ Restart screen in a fresh bash session and enjoy. UPDATE: I stupidly screwed up the screenrc line because I did it from memory instead …
