Hi, I am a sound designer and engineer.

I like programming sounds with #pd, #maxmsp and hardware synths, DAW's, etc. But tools don't matter in the end as you probably know, aesthetics do -- and reverb algorithms. Do you know any?

I spent too much time with #linux and #haskell. I reaaaally don't like commercial ads. After all, is the internet post-modern?

My favorite emoticon is the smiling face with tear.

I toyed around with gabber:

#introduction

@coolowt Ah yes,the #ZIPdrive by #Iomega - one of my worst investments in computer hardware ever - cf. "click of death". I chose the #Panasonic #PD drive (itself the predecessor to #DVDRAM, but with 650MB and integrated #CDROM) as it's slower, but far more reliable successor. #retrocomputing

Kurze Werbepause: Wer auf der Suche nach einem günstigen Steckernetzteil ist, welches PD und Quick Charge unterstützt bei 65 Watt Leistung, der wird überraschenderweise beim Action-Markt fündig. Billiger als der billigste China-Schrott auf Amazon, aber wider Erwarten doch recht brauchbar. Sicherheitstests hat es bei mir auch überlebt. #usb #pd #powerdelivery #steckernetzteil #wandwarze #actionmarkt https://www.action.com/de-de/p/3013594/re-load-dual-wandladegerat/

Hi! I'm Andrew! I run Retro.social.

I'm an SRE manager at a gaming company. I own a coffee shop, I run a makerspace, and I make toys.

I also do a #podcast called Expedition Sasquatch that releases infrequently and is super specifically funny. Like, I can't listen to a single episode without falling out of my chair laughing, but maybe you don't know any old southern men who want to hunt bigfoot professionally.

I run a peertube instance, which mostly gets music from my record label, and tv shows from the 50s.

If you know me from outside of the fediverse it's probably from my blog (http://ajroach42.com) which inexplicably gets featured on boingboing or the front page of that orange nightmare every once in a while. I did podcasts on floppydisks and a piece about how computing has gone wonky since circa 2012 or so.

I do media digitization and preservation, archiving 16mm film of TV shows and movies, and I write about that sometimes.

I have a tendency to do Big Long Posts. I won't apologize for that, Your instance should crush it down under a read more. If it doesn't, I will apologize for that.

I'm a #DIYMedia advocate. I strongly believe that we have to escape from our corporate media overlords, and fight back against them if we want to be free.

Uhhh... What else? I have Strong Opinions about things.

I post about #PD #publicDomain and especially #PDMusicList recently.

Here are some photos of things I've worked on recently.

I'm really enjoying having a dedicated place to stick these #publicDomain and #creativeCommons (#PD #CC) media recs.

There's still a lot to do on the site, but it looks pretty good, and editing it/working with it is easy and feels natural.

For all the shit wordpress gets, it's an astoundingly flexible platform.

New Blog Post http://ajroach42.com/cataloging-the-public-domain-pd-movies-i-watched-in-2019/

This is a big ol' list of the public domain movies I watched this year, with links and short reviews or descriptions.

If you find it useful, I'd love to know.

If you have questions, or comments, this is the place for them.

If you notice problems, I accept PRs (on github, at the moment, but we'll fix that eventually.)
