Doing some personal wiki cleanup today. Adding entries that escape elsewhere, removing old (in some cases sensitive) stuff.

I like vimwiki a lot, it's convenient and easy to use.

Surprised this is eight years old; time has flown by.

MTT 242 / Can't Know The Future https://djcev.com/2021/10/mtt-242-cant-know-the-future/

More dark #electro and syncopated #techno , this time a bit slower at a comfortable (and later aggressive) 130. This #djmix features tracks by Boris Divider, Dietrich Schoenemann, Mystic Letter K, Sync 24, Weith, and more.

Some weird ones in here, that's always fun for me.

I just finished reading Kameron Hurley's "The Light Brigade". Liked it a lot!

Military SF of the anti-war "war is hell" variety. Gets a bit gnarly, gory, and mean at times.

It's clearly riffing on Starship Troopers (both Heinlein's book and Verhoeven's movie) as well as Haldeman's Forever War. Which is fine by me, I found that aspect more familiar than distracting.

I liked the structure of the book and the ending quite a bit. Was a good time, a real page-turner.

MTT 241 / Lost Boundaries https://djcev.com/2021/10/mtt-241-lost-boundaries/

#electro for the first week of October. ~135, so on the quick end of the style, but not out of the ordinary. This set features music by Anthony Rother, Heuristic Audio, Sync 24 & Dexis, Trichome, a bunch of new Brokntoys, an old techno-breaks piece by Surgeon, and more.

Time for an ear break.

Something I do when DJing or working with music is take the headphones off and/or get away from loud sounds every 15 or 30 minutes. Go listen to something quiet.

Think I might set aside some time this weekend for computer maintenance. Do backups, a little cleaning, maybe upgrade to FreeBSD 13.0.

MTT 240 / Slipping By https://djcev.com/2021/09/mtt-240-slipping-by/

Chunky beats and a little ambient this week. 90 BPM plus or minus a few. This mix features tracks by Boards Of Canada, Cabaret Voltaire, Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza & SkyTwoHigh, Luke Vibert, Paul Blackford, Voigt Kampff, and more.

MTT 239 / One Day Trip https://djcev.com/2021/09/mtt-239-one-day-trip/

A little downtempo, electro, and IDM. A lot of the selections this week are tracks I've played before, familiar and easy-to-work-with. This one features music by Axiom 23, Autechre, Higher Intelligence Agency, Holger Flinsch, Plaid, and XY0815.

The next MTT mix is coming, I haven't forgotten. I had an unusually difficult week so I'm relaxing my normal Thursday evening deadline. Will try to have it up tonight.

MTT 238 / Wherever You Go https://djcev.com/2021/09/mtt-238-wherever-you-go/

This week's #djmix . #electro , #idm , and #techno this time, featuring tracks by Aril Brikha, dbacon, Kan3da, Reference, Skee Mask, Supreems, and more.

This one was produced in a bit of a hurry so apologies for some absentminded mixing and presentation.

#Quake3 #q3defrag fastcaps. Apparently - according to the comments - this will be the last power_of_heavy_metal video. Really sad it'll be the last; heavy metal's compilation videos are all incredible.

Drinking tea after midnight again.

Woo my soap opera is on again.

MTT 237 / In Formation https://djcev.com/2021/09/mtt-237-in-formation/

#djmix of #breaks and #electro , something smooth and easy, letting tracks run a little long when possible. This mix features a pretty new tune by Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza & SkyTwoHigh and some older ones by BFX, DJs Friction & Spice, IVM², and more.

CW: MH - and a little +

I'm moderately depressed at the moment and so not posting here much. Retreating into fantasy pretty hard to deal with it. I've got a pretty difficult thing to do next week so I'm saving up energy for that.

I really like clicking on the glitchsoc mastodon logo in the lower left to cycle through its three images.
