Like Dick & Mr. Baer said, you’re invited – and it’s free. Join us, it’s fun! 🙂

Wikiloops artwork…

After trying out the new and upcoming artwork for Debian 11 “Bullseye” on my desktop (see my last post), I downloaded the poster art for the last Wikiloops member’s meeting in 2018, and tried that – and so this is how my desktop looks right now:

Fits, because first I’ve been there (which was great), and second I’m a bass player… 🙂 So thanks to Dick for providing this – and thanks to you for viewing/reading, as always.

“Homeworld” – the artwork for Bullseye

I’m about two weeks early, I know – but I wanted to see Juliette Taka’s artwork “Homeworld” which she made for Debian’s next stable version 11, codenamed “Bullseye” on *my* desktop – so I downloaded her wallpaper and tested it:

Looks very nice with my conky system monitor, I like it 🙂

As always, thanks for viewing.

Grasshopper on a baking tray

My first photo in August was simply a snapshot from this morning – we’ve had a smaller kind of visitor since at least yesterday, and today he walked around a baking tray on the dining room table – so I took my macro lens fully open (the little guy was moving) to take his portrait. After doing that, I took the tray to the garden where he left onto some plant.

Trance 28, from Andreas Weber

A former colleague who left the company already is on SoundCloud, so I hope I’ll hear from him from time to time. Two days ago for instance he published this one:

Nice to hear from him 🙂

In the winter of our lives

Just found this tiny little gold nugget from the end of 2015 in Wikiloops, from Ms Patty and Mr Paul:

Awesome. Thanks Patty & Paul – and thanks to you for listening.

Cool :)

One of the neighbours’ cats just walked over my notebook, pressing the key combination to take a screenshot. So he’s an IT cat… interesting…

… and yes, we’re open for visitors. Both human & feline… 🙂

As always, thanks for reading 🙂

Looking forward to seeing “Bullseye”

As I wrote to my brother yesterday, the next version of Debian Gnu/Linux 11, codename “Bullseye” (like always it’s named after Toy Story characters), now has a release date announced. It was fully frozen ten days ago, so it was only a question of time…

Can’t wait to see this next stable version of the universal operating system, as the Debian devs call it. And I can say thanks already, like I always do (used to help the team a bit, and who knows, maybe I’ll do that again in the future). It’s a system for us all.

Setting output levels in Ardour

Some fellow musician in Wikiloops asked about output levels of songs, and how to get these. I tried to answer it to my best knowledge, and also explained how *I* do this using Ardour. Since version 6.3 of Ardour there are two ways to export to a certain loudness level, and I hadn’t fully explained that before, so I did it now – and made a short howto video about it:

In case that is useful, I’m glad that I could help. And as always, thanks for reading, and watching/listening.
