If you like your #ambient #bass #music sounding like a dank abandoned data center rotting in a post-apocalyptic rural Nova Scotia landscape in the wet decay of an autumn evening, this EP is for you. My god, it's good.

Americans, I'm genuinely curious, how do you feel about the idea that the US is now a Russian ally working against the interests of Ukraine? Does this cause you any concern?

Little sneak peak at the web app I'm putting together to deliver my 'rewards' to the sponsors for Saturday's Ride for Cancer. > $25 CA gets you an original exclusive autumn themed Drum 'n' Bass mix #dnb. > $50 gets you that mix + a 45 minute Berlin rave mix featuring some of my favourite #techno of late.

(There's a surprise at the bottom)
It's been a couple of years since I've driven my bike in the Ride for Cancer. I took a year off due to a bike theft and probably some other reasons like the fear of another 50km ride on a stone hard seat that seems optimized for speed over comfort.
This year is the final Ride for Cancer in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It's been a hugely successful campaign raising money for cancer treatment over the years. The organization is moving on to some other strategies and celebrating with one final ride -- and I decided to enter it again.
I want to personally thank Michael Parsons for involving me in this program. He's the namesake of Mikey's Bikers, my team, and also a great friend. I honestly wasn't sure I'd make it the first year and every subsequent year tested my resolve. He helped push me to ride and intimidated me into coming up with more money.
I also want to thank my relatives, colleagues, friends and followers, and also to ask one last time for your support. I am getting a late start to my campaign this year and I'd really appreciate any small amount you can contribute to get me toward my goal.
This year I am also bringing something else to the table:
I am putting together 2 highly curated, 45 min live studio-recorded mixes and I will be sending downloadable EXCLUSIVE copies to my donors over $25 and $50. Maybe you don't even like electronic music -- that's fine -- it's still a collectors item that only my donors will have for the rest of their days.
Each mix will feature original AI-free cover artwork by a local Nova Scotia artists.
Here are the details:
$25+ Donations: Autumn Mellow
A rare mix of some of my favorite new ambient, melodic and earthy Drum 'n' Bass tracks. This one will weave in and out of mellow, positive vibes. It will feature vocalists as well as hard breaks and liquid beats. This one will be a journey for the heart and the head nod, best enjoyed with headphones and a glass of wine.
$50+ Donations: 50 Miles and Bouncing
Inspired by my recent techno and dance sets at venues here in the city and on Twitch, this mix will blow your speakers open with 140-155bpm high energy bouncy bass that will have you rocking out in your car, living room or gym. Featuring recent tracks procured from some of my favourite international techno labels and a even a few you may never hear anywhere else. (And I'll throw in "Autumn Mellow" too!)
Thank you again. It's been a great ride. ❤
Finally, I'd like to dedicate this year's race to Mark Fraser, my brother in law, who succumbed to cancer just a few weeks ago. I'll be thinking about him and those who loved him.

You save money by paying the annual license fee so the idea is to prevent people from gaming that system by buying the annual license and then cancelling it every month to try and exploit the same discount on a monthly basis. It's shitty, and Adobe is perfectly ok with being shitty.

2026-08-18 13:13:56 UTC

I would love to see a boycott of Adobe. They've been abusing creative industries for years and they get away with it because management / art directors continue to spend money on the only product line they're familiar with. Competing products do exist (looking at you, Affinity). They're the original pioneers of enshitification.

I am really excited to announce that my father, Gordon Wright, after spending 5+ years in the process of researching, writing, and editing, has finally published his first novel.
It's called Stones Cast for Life and it's a historical family drama that tells the story of a young school teacher starting her career and enduring the hardships of life in a Newfoundland outport in the 1920s. My father is a proud, native Newfoundlander and he spent long hours researching the this story at The Rooms historical archive in St. John's.
Would love for you to share it if you know someone who might be interested. It's available in both ebook and paperback editions from Amazon at the moment with more vendors to follow in the coming months. More info here:

Working in Charlottetown, PEI today. I gravitated toward the nice cafe downtown, the one with excellent food and well-dressed people. It didn't take long to notice I was the only one there with a laptop so I did a little research and the consensus seemed to be that the local library was the place for the nomadic laptop worker set. I had doubted it when someone told me that earlier.
So I wound up here at the library and I am sorry I ever doubted it. Clean, bright, beautiful atmosphere, low noise aside from the distant sound of conversation easily overcome by headphones. The wi-fi is free, fast and reliable, and there's a cafe in the middle that doesn't know the difference between a cortado and a flat white so they make you really big cortados.

The onboarding gives you a buzz-owned relay by default and (according to one of their bots) all communication I type inside slack is plaintext visible to the relay owner. So that's a little disconcerting for enterprise use.
As I understand it you can download and run your own private (but Buzz-specific) relay server. Not sure if the source is open or not.

2026-07-28 17:20:40 UTC

2 negative things that jump out at me about #Buzz.
1) Despite logging in using my Nostr secret key it then asked me to set up an email account on an unknown server before I could start using it.
2) It's "Slack with Agents" but that assumes that Slack/Discord are actually good interfaces people like to work in. The are not.

So I am building a tool (yet again) on Nostr and it has calendar elements so I took a look at NIP-52 and discovered it's plaintext. I can't use it now because obviously calendar items and appointments could be personal in nature and not for public consumption. I am genuinely curious what the thinking was with this NIP -- is it purely spec'ed for public events that are sharable or was it intended for personal calendar items? #asknostr #nostrdev
Side question: Is there a Nostr dev discussion community group for things like this?

After a long and in-depth conversation and a bunch of research into Nostr via Claude about Nostr I'm basically satisfied that Nostr is a flawed idea, and I'm not sure it has any future. But that only makes me really determined to talk to the really smart people who I know are still building it. There must be a reason why people still believe in the idea over something like ActivityPub.

Sometimes I misspeak and it makes me laugh and so naturally I go to #AI to illustrate my mistake. This is what AI is really for. And so here is a picture of "putting all your ducks in one basket".

Is there a link to this talk on YouTube (or other platform)?

@nprofile…kucd I really enjoyed using your service and would actually pay the lower monthly tier to free myself from Google. But the idea that a paid tier is still limited is more than I can stomach and the unlimited tier is prohibitively expensive for search -- even if ad-infested Google is my only other option.

I vibe-coded a TTS app for Android with an embedded model and it's basically perfect.

The website says nothing about hardware requirements. I find myself wondering if it would run on a Pi.

I once left a job because they told me they needed me to do three months of COBOL debugging. Those were the good old days when people still needed programmers and you could just leave and go somewhere else.

“So what you’re saying is that this espresso machine is basically like an open source Nespresso?”

I have been thinking a lot about a Markdown notes app that works similarly to Obsidian but uses Tim Berners-Lee's Solid for identity and storage. I was very interested to hear about Onyx, by @nprofile…0hy6, which seems similar in spirit but based on Nostr.

That'll certainly do it.

Nostr is a much more interesting protocol and experience than Bluesky or Mastodon, which are essentially Twitter clones. Sadly, what the mainstream wants are Twitter clones with ideological alliances. Now Gander is going to be on the scene as well -- the unabashedly liberal Canadian network that completely eschews everything we've learned about the dangers of centralization and throws us back 20 years.

I am still wondering if I am doing it right because I am seeing little to no engagement. I need to find some locals.
