Portability for Elektron.
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 …
Getting serious as a band with an LLC.
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 …

Changing font size in GNOME 3.4 on Fedora 17.
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 …
Finding old test packages in Koji.
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 …
