Returning to the winamp skin shuffler connected to Spotify.

Neovim as window manager preview

I recorded a video of my current Neovim + Niri setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCbwL1iRWXk

Testing out printing little foldable music boxes with the barcodes. Fun to try and decide on the dimensions - I'd really like a spine.

Also not sure what I want to do for structure. I put a cardboard in one of these - I bet I could cut up some scrap 1/2" plywood to use as blanks...

Testing out a barcode scanner as a way to play albums (through Spotify in this case). Wondering if this is a way to bridge from tangibility of physical media to flexibility of digital.

Working rough player scanner. TODO: I accidentally mirror-flipped this video

Spotify IDs are kind of long to do directly so switched to sequential IDs and a lookup

Four recent experiments:

More paint tests with the projector and touch frame.

Painting with an IR touch frame, projector, and http://image-paint.constraint.systems

I got the projector sized to the IR touch frame. I made a desk inset for it and a wood overlay to sit on top.

The overlay makes the section non-interactive (it had to be an overlay bc the IR beams need to get from one-side to the other).

I ordered this IR touch screen frame not knowing what to expect and am so far pleasantly surprised. I need to map the projector to it but touch detection seems pretty good.

New on Constraint Systems:
Cosine - embed and hash any text and see its nearest neighbors

Getting pretty close with the embeddings app.

Exploring an "everything is embedded" mini/fake social network.

Working on a stripped down "embed anything and see its neighbors" prototype.

Need to sort out some type errors though

Notes from putting together artist info display. This is with raspberry pi OS lite (no desktop). I ended up doing 32 bit but maybe could have done 64.

in .xinitrc, which automatically runs when x session starts. Some of this specific for this monitor.

Album art and artist info display

I've been listening to a lot of playlists lately and wanting a way to learn more about the currently playing artist without pulling out my phone. I put together a little raspberry pi setup to sit on our shelves and display info about the current playing artist.

I think this would be a cool fit for coffee shops or communal workspaces. Let me know if you're interested in getting something similar up and I'll try and help.

I made a web player for the Herb Sundays playlist series.

It's focused on surfacing a random playlist from the series. I've been using it to put something on in the morning. It's nice to have hand-curated playlists with some intention to them.
