I keep forgetting to use hashtags when doing these posts. Ah well, I'll remember eventually I guess.

I've spent the last few days digging around for old car audio bass CDs on digital vendors like beatport and juno.
Some of the old DM Records (Bass 305) catalog is on Junodownload, and Traxsource has a bunch of old Pandisc CDs (Beat Dominator, DJ Laz, etc.). I think a lot of this has been up for a while and I just didn't know where to look.

Oh wow the Jack Audio Connection Kit has been updated in the FreeBSD ports tree from a five-year-old version of jack1 to jack2. That's a big deal for me.
blogofile_gitview: A Static Git Repo Browser
I'm a person who often stops (or never starts) work on projects because another related project hasn't been completed. I often think to myself "I can't work on X because I haven't finished Y yet". One such project that's been holding me back, a pretty basic requirement for some things I'd like to do, is that I don't have a satisfactory place to publish source code.
I recently solved that problem. I figured out how to serve Git repositories over so-called "dumb HTTP" and then I wrote a clone of Hiltjo Posthuma's stagit as a plugin for my static site compiler Blogofile. I'm calling that plugin blogofile_gitview. Read on to see why I'd do such a foolish thing.
MTT 231 / Deep Pools
Ambient, some 80 BPM beats, and some drum & bass. A couple of old tracker mods too. The few new tracks in this hour are by Amy Kisnorbo, Ben Businovski, Legowelt, Ogeon, and Skee Mask.

Walked into town today and picked up some tea at the grocery store and a few movies (on DVD) at the local thrift store. Found the first season of The Expanse, a copy of The Witch (2015), and - the best find - a copy of Doctor X (1932), the two-color version. It was a nice day out, too. Good weather.

Catching up on podcasts this morning and I'm just now getting to Anime World Order #200. Which is over three hours long and mostly comprised of an interview with Helen McCarthy. Been looking forward to this one, glad I have time today to listen to it.
MTT 230 / Gone Under
Ambient, dub techno, downtempo, IDM, and some old tracker modules. A weird mash of styles. This mix features a couple new-ish tracks from dbacon and Paul Blackford plus a recent remaster from Brothomstates.

Practice Time with Fatal1ty
How to be PRO? Tutorial by Fatal1ty at youtube.com. (Previously uploaded with the title "Practice Time by Mr. Positivity"). The clip linked above is from Fatal1ty's segment of the I'm A Gamer episode of MTV's True Life.
You gotta practice. Practice. Practice practice practice practice. Practice. And if you're not practicing you should be practicing. So keep practicing. It's the only way you're gonna get better. It's the only way you're gonna be number 1. Number 1 in anything. You need practice practice practice.
I keep a copy of this on my hard drive and watch it whenever I need motivation. I like the part where he tells me to practice.

I recently switched from keeping a to-do list to taking short notes on what I've done each day. It's not a lot, four or five lines in a composition notebook per day, but it's nice. Makes me feel more "productive".

A couple of behind-the-scenes screenshots, different parts of the mix planning and publishing process.
I should take a new photo of the equipment I'm using.
