Just logged out of bird site and deleted the app from my phone.
Feels good. Going to spend time yabbering and explaining stuff and learning stuff and everything here instead.
I'm going to be releasing music made the normal way with instruments and DAWs, but I'm also going to be looking at live coding, building weird little electronic and analog instruments and all sorts of stuff.
Here is a good place to explore and report on what is going on.
This is pretty neat. An article about Sping, a program for determining the sending and receiving time of a ping.

Normally ping just shows round trip time. Not the exact time it took for a receiver to get the ping nor how long the trip back was.
Well I have a #godot related #blog post ready to upload sometime. It is about UI scene and resource handling best practices that we will be experimenting with in #moonwards.
I just got to find the right time to post it to Reddit for maximum exposure lol.
I'd like to give a shout-out to @snikket_im, and in particular to @mattj for creating this awesome new #XMPP project, as well as a friendly and welcoming support community. Snikket has lowered the bar of entry into the world of XMPP by several orders of magnitude. It takes more time to install/configure your #raspberrypi & prepare your DNS zone than it takes it to install Snikket itself. Anyone who can get Linux running on a Pi can run their own XMPP server thanks to Snikket. #awesomeSelfhosted
