Is it a useful thing?

I don’t know. Nor do I remember anything I may have known about the underlying tech… but it’s a thing, alright…

Hi everyone, I'm Faustus (not really, but you know how it goes). I finally deactivated FB and am exploring federated alternatives.

At this point, I'm looking for cool, funny, and smart people to connect with. And while I agree that there's a lot going on to be angry about, I find constant shouting into the void to be wearisome. We can be friends if you think the world is full of nuance and disagree with someone thoughtfully.

Testen van het plannen van een bericht. Is natuurlijk wel belangrijk om te zorgen dat je tijdsinstelling op juiste tijdzone staat. Die van mij is Europe/Amsterdam.

Dit bericht zou maandag 13 januari om 9 uur moeten verschijnen.

🇳🇱 Het is tijd om te kijken of de Fediverse al geschikt is voor een blogger als plek om vragen te beantwoorden en kennis te delen over reizen naar Nieuw-Zeeland.

Reisblog 123NZ is al jarenlang de plek waar alle info over reizen naar en werken in Nieuw-Zeeland gedeeld worden. Dat zal niet veranderen.

Maar alle vragen die eerst beantwoord werden in allerlei groepen op een oud en massaal social media platform kunnen nu hier gesteld worden. Vraag maar raak.

Maar nu eerst gewend raken aan Friendica en wat tweaken.

#NieuwZeeland #reizen #OpReis #WorkingHoliday

Rather than posting code or file attachments on Friendica, I set up a GitLab repository for the "Bookface" theme project. All my future updates will be here:

Please direct dev talk about it to the (now actually existing) @Pygoscelis Papua account.

A novelty one today. Yamaha Sessions 3 from 1981. A promo record released by Yamaha Stuidos Japan to demonstrate the Yamaha GS-1 synthesizer. Featuring keyboardist Keiko Doi from the all female synthesizer trio Cosmos, some funky bass lines, cool drum breaks, pretty amazing 80s session photos on the cover, and adorable liner notes its a fun bargin bin pick up.

Today's selection is 80s post punk outfit Rip Rig + Panic. A surprise find from yesterday. Featuring members of the pop group, Neneh Cherry, and some guest spots from Ari Up and Don Cherry. This post-punk and jazz album is not only a powerhouse of talent but sounds fresh and ahead of its time.

Today we dig deep into the sounds of Japanese Wamono - Japanese jazz, funk, soul, rare groove, and disco. Each volume has a slightly different sound. The first one, like most comps, is probably my favourite. The third one is for the city pop lovers and contains Kimono, which I put on many playlists. Plus, that album cover is stunning in pink. 🩷✌️🇯🇵

Hoy lancé por Astra y no tuve mucha suerte, perdí el 50/50 y casi no me sale 🙁
La buena noticia es que entre todo lo que lancé salió Seth, hace mucho que lo quería y no me había salido, así que al final no estuvo tan mal 😀

Every year I create my own calendar. Lets me put birthdays and personally significant events on it without the writing against the wall thing. Most of the time I use photos I've taken over the year. When it's not dark before / after work I usually take photos of the sky. The Puget Sound has some lovely sunrises and sunsets on the regular.

This year, I decided that I'd do watercolors since I've been working on my watercolor skills. This one is the January watercolor. They're all water-focused because painting water is my favorite thing to do.

Super happy how this one turned out. I really love the islands in front and the clouds, too.
