Our trip to Mexico is getting closer and over the next 10 days, I’m going to get very fidgety! Any suggestions for places reachable safely from Playa del Carmen? We’ve got some booked already such as Xcaret and planning to visit Tulim and Tzchicjen Itza (I’ve mistyped that for sure)

I’m on there and it’s really good. One of my tracks called Voyage - https://wavlake.com/album/f8313d2d-a4de-4800-8785-87fbdb83c16e

One day, when I qualify for such a club… I’d love to be a fly on the wall

Is there a #soundstr because I fancy setting it up.

Finding these interesting. Love a bit of data.

DJI are great. I had an issue with my new Osmo battery grip for the Action 5 and had to send the whole lot back on Friday last week. They received it on Monday and sent out a replacement the very same day. So impressed!

DHL customs on the other hand withheld my parcel for a couple of days for no reason other than bureaucracy (thanks Brexit) and I had to make several calls to sort it out.

Anyway have got it now and will start producing video content again, starting with a lunchtime walk today.

Let’s see what I can show you from around here that is easy to reach from my front door.

First of all - food!!

Getting back to some sound design. Stacks is a new iOS app, in fact it’s also available for desktop too, so you can run in Ableton with ease. It’s a synth, sampler by which you can stack samples and granular synth.

It’s very cool.

Jumping into my photo library to find something to share…. Now let’s see….

Ah yes. I love beachcombing from a photography perspective and if I find rubbish, I pop it in a bag to throw away somewhere sensible. I could do a series of these.

Plus must return to my bridges of London series, might get some time for that soon.

True

Looking for the best place here in the uk to buy sats, so that I can purchase a plan for Nostr.build. Any recommendations?

Various people in our neighbourhood saw the borealis last night. Going to hide under a rock and cry. Always bloody miss it!!!

The site of the windmill, Battle of Naseby 1645. Marked by this impressive monument today. The view from this point goes for miles and miles and there is bit of an atmosphere there; I could imagine the battle cries, the clashing of hundreds of men and the tension of the English Civil War there.

Reposted a note of theirs that appeared in my feed this morning - so looks like a bug

Not surprised at all!

Amongst my camera gear I have an Insta360 X3 and this is an export from a 360 degree photo, flattened out which is pretty cool.

It got me thinking that it’s possible to remotely trigger the camera, so next time I’m out, I can mount it on its monopod on top of a regular tripod and take a shot, so that I don’t appear in it holding the camera.

Worth a try.

Shit! Where’s my other leg and foot? I love these accidental photos, that you didn’t intend to capture!

It’s a very good app, for all of their faults the gov.uk web apps are pretty well designed. I very nearly worked for them at one point when I was a contractor web developer and the boilerplate code is available for people to use and learn from.
