25 years ago, on 15 Jan 2001, Wikipedia was founded. We've grown a bit, via values of neutral knowledge for all. Thanks for the work by so many volunteers globally who devotedly make it; to the donors who make it all possible; and to our readers who make it worthwhile. To the next 25! #Wikipedia25

@gargron@mastodon.social I realized I was not in the same league of software developer as my colleagues when I built a PC and put in 4GB of RAM while they'd go 16 and up.
This was back in the day before Electron apps, so think Notepad++ and Sublime Text, truly lightweight stuff.
You are incentivized to build fast shit when constrained by your RAM, I'll tell you that.

Setting up the new servers for my new Mastodon instance. (It's just a toy deployment.)

Accompanying the drums: Casio CZ101, Roland HS60 (Juno-106S) & Moog D, thanks to Pi. You know, 3.14...
Why?
In E01 of S02, Charlie mentions how Pi shows up in all kinds of places, & we don't know why. So why not incorporate some of these digits here?How?
The 3 instruments are each playing on their own MIDI channel (3, 1, 4) and start their sequence on beats 3, 1 and 4 (out of 8 - I'm really using a 4/4 signature, but running clock at 160 to 245bpm, double speed, hence as if it was 8/4).

@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org Glad to hear that the spacing matters to native speakers too! And thanks for suggesting “wall clock time”—it's a very clear alternative.

The classic Roland TR909 (in form of the Behringer RD9 Rhythm Designer clone) not only drove the percussions, but was also played as a live instrument.
Only 2 basic patterns were programmed and all variations through the length of the recording are done by adding / removing certain beats, muting/unmuting parts and controlling the volume.

There is something about telephony that is inherently tied to electronic music (if for nothing else, due to Kraftwerk). Specifically I used some sounds that are typical of the telephone system, such as a POTS ringtone marking the first beat of each bar. And as you listen, you'll find the intro and ending also fully embrace the theme (and there's clearly a clin d'oeil to #kraftwerk )
