    November 2024: new album, skiffs, symbols, bats and soundprinting
    As usual here’s a round-up of what I got up to during November. Borrowed Out Of Time album launch Every creative year usually has one or two constants, and my album, Borrowed Out Of Time (De La Catessen Records) was the big one in 2024. What began as motes of activity in January, gradually accumulated volume and momentum – often in conjunction with adjacent activities – and gradually took form. …

    Dungeon Clawler
    PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS I thought I’d reached a point of cynicism. You can’t just take Slay the Spire’s roguelite framework, and replace the cards with just anything! That’s just silly. Except, no, it totally works every single time, even when it’s pachinko. Heck, does this mean Bookworm was the earlier version of Slay the Spire, but with spelling instead of cards? Anyway, point is, turns out it also …

    Institutional Sexism
    State-sponsored rape, lies and deception – then a cover-up operating right across official life. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 28th November 2024 It’s the testimony we’ve long been waiting for. On Monday, at the undercover policing inquiry, the man whose cruel and disgusting deceptions have come to epitomise the “spy cops” scandal will be questioned. Many of us are hoping for answers, not least because his story suggests …

    Tech Case Studies
    I’ve always wanted to find great case studies from people building things. Not high level blogposts dictating “this is how you should do X”, but “here’s the 20 things we tried and the data we had at the time, and what we learned.” I started a side project at some point to aggregate them, but I literally couldn’t find many examples online. Came across two of the best examples I’ve …

    Gogol, Cervantes, and Céline
    Via Languagehat, here is an essay by Michael W. Clune about War (1934?, posthumously published in 2022) by Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961), recently translated into English by Charlotte Mandell. There is a nineteenth-century Russian connection. For Clune, satire is when a writer compares something bad to an implied or express better thing, while dark comedy, or at least a tradition within it, relies on the “Universal Downward Comparison.” That’s when you …

    Cats and Birds LTE from 1923
    Cats are known to be the leading predator of birds in the U.S.A, killing somewhere between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds per year. It's a major problem.And there's a sense that it's a new one. The Scott Loss paper cited about came out in 2013, and seems to have marked a turning point in the discourse. "Did you say billion?" A growing number of people talk about the problem, and …

The small kitchen and storage zone is tucked in under the narrow stair. The flue of the teeny wood-burning fireplace extends from ground floor to roof line, …
