  • Back when Vivaldi was a young punk, starved and with way too much funky ideas in his head, the only job he could find was as a teacher for girls in a convent.

    Unleashing of the craziness ensued: with 60 pupils at hand, he started chain-writing pieces for string quatuors and quintets.

    It’s called “Estro Armonico” and nr 8 on the Café Zimmerman’ recording is my ringtone. I always pause a bit before picking up a call.



  • Ubuntu Studio is an excellent choice to get you started busy doing your things. It’s a work of love, from passionate people, going at it for many years now.

    The only drawback is that the bundle is overstuffed, for my use case there’s just too much stuff in there lol (sound eng)

    Enjoy yourself, test your creativity against the available tools, and make stuff. That’s the important part: making!









  • Mother Nature is really, really angry at us and payback is only barely beginning to start.

    I am not religious or superstitious or whatever, it’s just a way of expressing that very soon we’re gonna have it very bad. The heatwaves, the storms, the utilities unable to cope, the displaced populations, the overwhelmed over-egotistic political systems - we’re in for a ride, and that ride starts yesterday.








  • Not much to it outside of trying to convey “perfect by RPG standards, tropes and parameters (probably)”, but failed to “hit” me in any way.

    Watching it, I was expecting to see something akin to a Franchise movie, where you may miss a bit or two if you’re not in on all the lore. But I was also expecting true entertainment with striking visuals, gripping storytelling, stuff like that

    Imagine watching a spy movie. 20% in you have adversarial hierarchy, 30% in the car chase, 66% in the romantic pause, 80% in the unexpected traitor, 95% in the final hand-to-hand fight to avert the end of the universe or whatever… And it’s boring, but everybody around you is telling you it was so great because it’s got it all, the car chase the traitor the, the.

    Doesn’t make a good movie.
