Preparing for the Insectoid! performance in London next Thursday. Just a little preview for ya!

# I write down things I want to learn - that’s how I remember them best. # I sit at the front of the classroom so I can see my teacher’s body language and facial expressions. # I use diagrams, illustrated textbooks, videos, handouts and visual displays to aid my learning. # I write detailed notes so I can absorb the information my teacher gives - sometimes I make sure I’m given extra time to do this. # When I’m working at home, I study in a quiet place on my own. # I use bright highlighter pens or markers to draw attention to important areas in my notes or work. # Because I am good at written communication, I could have a career as a journalist, writer or poet.

A coalition is an alliance among individuals, during which they cooperate in joint action, each in their own self-interest. This alliance may be temporary or a matter of convenience. A coalition thus differs from a more formal covenant. Possibly described as a joining of ‘factions’.

It would seem that 29th April is quite a popular day for activities. There’s Pub Conversations at The Spotted Dog, the 4th Birmingham Bloggers Meet (you guys need a web page!) at Rootys and Stitches and Hos at The Hare and Hounds. Lots to choose from, so take your pick!

Surprisingly I’ll be at Stitches and Hos, so will see anyone else there for some hardcore knitting!

iPod Linux, originally uploaded by hellocatfood.

I’ve been further experimenting with gadgets! This time I’m trying to get iPod Linux onto my iPod (who woulda thunk it!).

I’m trying to get it to work so that I can install pdPod (based on PureData (a derivative of Max/MSP)) on it. To see what it’s capable of take a look at this youtube video. I’m hoping to use this in conjunction with LSDJ for something.

Project planning can get really tiresome and boring, so I spent the bulk of my evening learning how to use LSDJ better, with help from a tutorial on 8BitCollective. Here are the results:

I’m having a few problems with the volume at the mo. You can probably hear a very quiet noise in the background, and I have no idea how to turn it up… yet.

More to come

From the beginning of this blog I’ve used Gallery2 to handle the portfolio side of things. I’m now ditching it in favor of NextGen Gallery. Gallery 2 is great and all, but integrating it properly with Wordpress is more trouble than it’s worth. Expect some disruption during the transition
