You can now find my TouchOSC page here. The long term plan is to include templates I make so that anyone can download them.

Baby Hedgehog controlling Shruthi-1
I’ve posted this elsewhere but thought I’d get the maximum value out of it by posting it here too. It’s fun experimenting with old and new tech all in one go.
Still buying vinyl
There are a handful of tracks that are on a list, the kind of list you know somehow you’ll never get to the end of. For me it’s a list of tracks I had once and now I’ve no idea where they are, so I have to get them again. This EP from Toyah is one. It has a track on it called Urban Tribesman, which I really loved, but it just doesn’t seem to be available on download or on a CD anywhere.
So I decided that with this, and with many other tracks that I’m outstanding, I will have to get them on vinyl. You know what, it’s quite nice to be buying vinyl again.
Latest edition of the Wire has arrived, and not before time either
Which means that I can finally get my year of to a proper start and discover something new to listen to, as I’m pretty bored with things at the moment.
BeatPad controlling the Shruthi-1
I’ve posted this over at PalmSounds but I really like this and it’s kind of a fun thing to be doing with old and new tech all in one place.
Pebble is shipping …
It’s great news. It couldn’t be soon enough. I know that they’ll take a while to get them out to everyone, and that I shouldn’t expect it too soon, but it’s exciting nonetheless. Of course, the one thing that is missing at the moment is the iPhone app on the app store.
I hope that it gets here before my pebble does.
Doctor Who and the invasion of the dinosaurs
I only got this because it was part of a boxed set with the Android Invasion. The special effects are very far from special, but the story was excellent. Sadly it makes me wonder about collecting Jon Pertwee stories now!
Happy birthday Mr Baker
Can you believe that Tom Baker is 79! That’s amazing, completely amazing. I was just listening to him today, talking at the end of the latest Big Finish CD. He doesn’t sound 79 at all.
I hope he keeps on doing lots more audio stories.
Dr Who, The Auntie Matter
This arrived today, and whilst I’m looking forward to listening to it I also find it sad to think that Mary Tamm isn’t with us any longer. She was fantastic as Romana. A great Dr Who companion.
U.F.O.
Still watching this and realising that it’s excellent stuff. The stories are of a really high quality.
