Lately

What I've Been Up to Lately finally, some answers to this eternal question!

Computery Stuff

Mainly I've been working on a software project that's probably a bit arcane; the short version is that I need some tools to help me manage web sites better -- and even though there are a lot of existing tools for this, they don't work well for the way I think, so I'm writing some tools that do. See wooz:Latest for details.

TootCat continues to operate (mostly) smoothly and receive a lot of positive comments (and new users), thanks in large part to our diligent tech and moderation volunteers. I don't thank them enough...

Music-Adjacent Stuff

• music mash-ups:
  • 2025-02-24 The Night Train? I Can't Stand It! (Clapton/Winwood mashup) -- I had the mix ready for a couple of weeks, but wanted to do the artwork properly.
  • 2025-02-03 It's in the Way that Would Be Nice (Eric Clapton / Nik Kershaw mashup) (Patreon post)
    • I have another one almost finished, and several more in the works.
• In September 1984, my then-favorite radio station's owners decided it should switch formats. They brought some of the former DJs back to talk about stuff. I made some tapes:
  • WQDR Rock - September 1, 1984 - part 1/5
  • WQDR Rock - September 1, 1984 - part 2/5
  • WQDR Rock - September 1, 1984 - part 3/5
  • WQDR Rock - September 1, 1984 - part 4/5
  • WQDR Rock - September 1, 1984 - part 5/5
  • More to come.

• a music playlist for the Inauspicious Inauguration, aka the Coup de Gross

Street Poverty Fund

The SPF has been mostly languishing, but recently received a quite hefty donation (by my standards) which should be good for several months at least.
