It was just great to see this project finally get to kickstarter today. It’s already achieved over a third of its funding target in just one day, and I think it’ll do really well.
And it’s great to have played a very small part in this.

At times wonderful, and at times totally frustrating too. That’s technology, my experience of it anyway. I do a lot of stuff with technology and I suspect I will continue to do that.
I think I may have to do this
As I missed out on funding the last arduino based space kickstarter I think I might have to go for this one, and it’s from the UK too.
When things stop
I had thought that I had all of July to sort out my google reader account. I was wrong. Google reader shuts down on the 1st of July, just over a month away! The realisation only came yesterday. So what should I do? Procrastination hasn’t helped at all, but thankfully feedly have a solution, and not only a solution but one that works with one of my favourite solutions IFTTT. Problem solved.
But it makes me think. We (I) depend on services like google reader, and of course these services won’t go on for ever, companies start things and stop things and when they do you have to use something else of find a different way of doing the things you need to get done. I’m sure at some point feedly will do something different or IFTTT will stop connecting things.
It’s the way of things I guess that’s all, but it does make life inconvenient at times.
My iOS App of the week is …
Pythonista. I’ve been using it to make little scripts to run from Launch Center Pro and it’s quite easy to use so far. I’m enjoying getting to understand how things work and learning about Python at the same time.
But by far the best thing about it is that I’m able to use it for something productive that makes daily tasks easier and that’s really worth doing. So, all in all a great app for automating stuff in iOS and for learning at the same time.
What a completely awesome present
This was a present from Miki which he gave me on the day we spent in London. What a completely awesome and amazing gift! This has some truly stunning stuff in it.
Simple Procoding HTML5 export
This is one of the code samples in procoding, an iOS app that lets you code in the Processing language. I adapted this slightly and then got it exported as HTML5 to run on the web. How amazing!
Molecule Synth news and pictures
The new table of elements
Good to see more features coming along to molecule synth. Looks like there’s plenty to look forward to in the not too distant future, and new features that are going to make it easier to interface with other hardware.
More Molecule
I posted the other day about an idea I’d had for a patch sheet for the molecule synth. Well I wasn’t entirely happy with the idea and decided to change it to make it more usable. I hope to have a version all sorted by the end of the week all things being equal.
The new version makes it a lot easier to use and work with and I plan to post it up to the Molecule synth forums too.
CZ Manual
Getting my CZ101 was great. I didn’t get a manual with it though, so I picked this up on eBay the other day, and it’s awesome.
Messing around with my OP-1
The OP-1 is an amazing piece of kit. These are just a few videos of me messing around with it.
