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

April 2025
Computery Stuff
- The software proceeds apace! The piece I needed most immediately (DBA, for DataBase Administrator), is now (as of yesterday) finally able to do imports (at least locally). I used it to import the VbzCart database onto my work laptop so I could get back to working on that.
- I'm setting up a replacement for Statler, our home web/file server. The first system board I tried was unhappy, so now I'm trying another one (which apparently hasn't been inventoried? will have to check on that when I get home).

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 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:
- 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.
