What I was up to

An overview of stuff I was working on or other stuff that kept me occupied in April 2017. Inspired by the movement of /now pages.

Projects

  • I’m working on building my own online platform specifically for owners of restaurants, cafes, bars, and similar businesses. I have dedicated page for the project.
  • An experiment in making a generative music piece inspired by some of Brian Eno’s work (especially his last album and his Bloom app). I’ve tried similar things like this many times the last 10 years or so, but I never really got this far. I’m building it in the browser with Javascript and Tone.js. Still a work in progress, but theres some output from the application on SoundCloud.
  • A CSS framework/toolkit called Nebula.css, that generates utility classes for font sizes, colors, background colors and spacing, while having responsiveness in mind. It’s a bit of a byproduct of some work I’ve been doing on my own projects over time. It’s basically done, but requires a proper website until I want to release version 1.0. I’ve been putting that off in favour of other things.

Other Things

After getting settled in England after not having a steady home for more than a year (after travelling), I finally made some music for myself again, it’s not online yet, but might appear amongst some other songs on my SoundCloud profile.

Things I liked a lot recently:

Dragon Age: Inquisition

I jumped in this game recently, after not having been able to properly play games like this in a while. It’s been marvellous so far. I’m also a big fan of the Mass Effect games, so the newest game has my interest, but that one will have to wait until I finished Inquisition. Hopefully I’ll have a gaming setup then that will do the game justice :).

The War on Drugs

I discovered their song Red Eyes through a recommendation algorithm a while ago, and the song kept popping up in my head a lot. Thanks to the video below I also discovered the song An Ocean in Between the Waves. I really really enjoy their overall groove and rythm, and even times when I expect I won’t be enjoying a song, I’ll get totally in to it.
