I released my second (ambient) album in November 2020: Split Infinity.

It's very ... spacey.

@Gargron and even worse, in such a way it's clear they never really thought about it…

I am again reminded of how much more sensible this is by comparison. Even if they _are_ called 'toots'.

I released an (ambient) album in December 2019, if anyone’s interested.

Year’s nearly over. I’m sure next year will be quite a year, too: time will tell. If nothing else, 2020 at least *sounds* like a year from the future.

@thomasfuchs Good luck finding out a way to make it stop.

@dildog Times New Roman too, so it's helpfully variable-width!

Keybase adding support for this so people actually know where I am has reminded me I should probably use this a bit more. Not that I usually actually use birdsite either.

It is proven! I am akr on Keybase: https://keybase.io/akr/sigchain#13dcc4dfb378baa4ffb91cde9dbd09d78e12a1e7af3011244379ebf50b205b470f

@diodelass Certainly. It can be identified by the Kefrens bars and the distinctive layers of plasma. Some say it's still scrolling.

@AmyZenunim I'd say "we don't hear the myriad that don't make it", but having heard a couple of the ones that didn't make it, they are _also_ bangers, so idk.

@staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com Quite so: like it should be followed in the sentences immediately following with "safe", "sound", or "sorted"?

@jeff It cycled back around to ironic years ago, and I fear it may be edging its way back to sincere again.

@tobypinder I feel like that counts as an endorsement.

I feel like Admin would count it as an endorsement, in any event.

@thomasfuchs Old computing is warm. Kitties like warm boxes. Makes sense.

@spacerog Maybe if you trademark it, you might prevent someone using it.

I feel like that would be a public service.

@dildog Sneaky. Alignment-sensitive?

Something like a really short... parasite socket is what I called them but don't know real name? (I have dim memories of something vaguely similar - not concealed - for EPROMs, I think, but I don't remember why, only that they were really tight-fitting and annoying and I think I broke some?)

More useful for DIP or SOIC than BGA I anticipate as could only get outer pins? "They put a heatsink on the flash to prevent overheating, seems legit" kinda thing?

@dildog What form factor were you thinking?

It's just occurred to me I'm literally having tea and crumpets for breakfast. Oh _god_ I'm so English.
