I got Super Mario 64 running in OpenEMU! I didn't actually play video games as a kid, so this is fun to discover them now. Next I'm planning to get some Zelda games running — probably start with "Ocarina of Time" since that's well-reviewed and from the same era/console.

I got a dip pen and ink at the craft store and I tried it out for the first time. My writing is not very nice yet, but I'm having a lot of fun.
The pen is a Speedball holder and No. 513EF nib, and the ink is McCaffery's black. It's an iron gall ink, and it goes on a nice sepia color before oxidizing black.

"Of course, Moz depends on Google's payment for default search placement for 90% of its revenue. If Google can't pay for this in the future, the org is going to have to find another source of revenue. Perhaps that will be the EU, or foundations, or users. In any of these cases, the org will find it much easier to raise funds if it is standing up for its users – not compromising on their interests."

I wrote my first audio filter in Rust! It's a biquad and this demo is a resonant, 2nd-order lowpass, although it will be able to do many other types soon.
I will also be adding more modules to this audio library — expect some reverbs, distortions, etc. So far I'm just running it in the terminal, but I will also likely use some of these modules as I work on VST/AU plugins in Rust.

I've been continuing to update my reverb plugin with new algorithms! This new "constellation" one is based on a popular 1978 delay/reverb unit, and it's good for shoegaze/ambient sounds, as well as being able to handle more traditional sounds.
I also have 3 new feedback delay network algorithms, and I updated the code to simplify adding FDNs.

I really like this idea! I'm not much of a visual artist, but I would definitely be interested to see the finished product

I also develop audio plugins in C++/JUCE; you can find my code on my GitHub:
https://github.com/reillypascal
I'm also teaching myself web development, and because I'm interested in the Fediverse, IndieWeb, and open web/free software in general, I'm interested in using my web development experience to get involved in those things down the line.

Hi everyone! I'm a composer & audio developer. I also like fountain pens, mechanical keyboards, software-defined radio, leftist politics & learning new things.
My music tends toward the glitchy, noisy, microtonal side of things, and I like to use Max/MSP and incorporate audio samples from my software-defined radio hobby. You can find my music at my site, SoundCloud & PeerTube:
