Crak! Meeting Tuup from TGU

When I was at Beyond the border I had the good fortune to meet up with Tuup from Transglobal Underground. What a lovely man. Happy to have a chat and entirely approachable.

Sadly I didn’t get to see their set at BTB, but hopefully I’ll get to see them soon, either this month or later in the year.

Doctor Who: The Girl Who Never Was

Charlotte Pollard’s last story with the 8th Doctor. I just finished listening to it. I guess it was alright, but I think it was a good time to drop Charley as a character. I think she’d had a good run at it and the series needs to move on.

So I’m looking forward to whatever Big Finish come up with next for the 8th Doctor.

The Half Moon in Putney

I hadn’t been to this pub / venue in a long time, and it was really nice to be back. It’s a great little place. I went with a bunch of friends to see the band ‘Mad Dog McRea”, who were good fun to watch really. I think I’d almost certainly go back if there was someone good on there.

The magical walk to Beyond the Border (or at least it was)

In years gone by this was the walk down from the camp site to the main festival site for Beyond the Border. Sadly it wasn’t so magical this year. Perhaps largely due to the weather and the fact that it was so muddy.

Anyway, it wasn’t as nice as before, which was a shame, but the event itself was good, and that’s more or less the main thing I guess.

Waveshapper progress

Making some progress on the Arduino waveshapper shield kit. I’m pleased with the quality of my soldering though. It’ll take a while to finish off, but it’ll be wo

Another visit to the Oramics Exhibition

A couple of weeks ago now I made another visit to the Science Museum’s Oramics exhibition. I really like this small exhibition. It is quite unusual and they keep adding new items to it and changing it slightly, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back. I think I’ve been to it 4 times now.

I like how everything from her work is linked forward to how electronic music has developed. It’s interesting to see the progression and understand where things came from.

I almost certainly will go back again if I get the chance.
