Linux Audio Problems? Try this.

(On Ubuntu 21.04 with a USB audio interface – ymmv) For general use, sound on any modern Linux distribution Just Works. But when you start attaching audio interfaces and playing with things like digital audio workstations (DAWs) or video editing, things can get very confusing very fast. Historically, things like soundcards were an absolute pain on Linux. While manufacturers would...

Thrums

qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq is a test. Bum, didn’t work. I quite like this WordPress Theme ‘Coldbox’, one of the first I saw & tried. But was annoyed by the fonts offered. Had a nosey around, it does look like its options are hardcoded. My gods, WordPress is convoluted. Simple question – how do you change the default font? Seems a popular option...

Hello (New) World (Order)!

Yet another blog site. Annoyingly, I posted the stuff below to Facebook first. Post to blog first, excerpt to other people’s platforms second, please danny. Now what can I use for a featured image? Ah – this was in the eatery we went to this evening: (Ew, and change this horrible typeface). [[ After a few weeks on other things,...

Not Climbing : Marlin Spike

As a kid I was the one the family would turn to, to undo knots. Having played with various cords & ropes recently, after loading with a middle-aged man, just nope. But coincidentally, YouTube videos on knots, came across the Marlinspike hitch. Is a really useful thing, how to easily attach a cord to a stick or whatever to get...

Not Climbing : Mattress Rescue

Now lockdown is easing in the UK my mother has starting making noises about coming over. She usually visits at least once a year, but her health’s not been great the past couple of years and, ermm, pandemic. I mentioned this to Marinella this morning, she asked, “where’s she going to sleep?”. Well, my bed, I’ll take the fold-down, as...

No Such Thing as a Coincidence

I’m only now making a start at preparing the orto (veg plot) for planting. My neighbour Achille did his annual favour of digging it over with his little excavator a good few weeks ago. It would have been better if I could have started say 3 weeks sooner, but the weather has been almost continuously wet until yesterday. Suddenly, hot...

Line of Doody

Short post to mention the ‘bad apple’ narrative around the police. Setting the scene : two very significant precursors of modern police were the cops employed by West Indies merchants on the Thames and slave patrols in Carolina. There’s a dichotomy within the police between their job as crime-preventors, protectors of the public, and their role as the domestic strong...

Not Climbing

For a few years now I’ve had a leaky roof. It has to rain a lot to be an immediate issue (puddle on bathroom floor) but this last winter there were a couple of days with torrential rain, the ceiling is starting to look dodgy. I’ve put it off and put it off, because the only options seemed to have...

Demonic Electronic Firefly (3v Flashing Joule Thief)

A few weeks ago I gave my girlfriend a Kinder Egg. She gave me back the (turtle!) toy container, suggesting I might have a might have a use for it. Of course I had: lucciola elettronica! Aside for having the Best Name Ever, the Joule Thief is a remarkable little circuit: [Pic from Wikipedia by Rowland, CC BY-SA 3.0] It’s...
