Hello world!
I did a bunch of on-and-off experimenting with my DJ gear this week, getting a feel for the various controls and whatnot. I started off trying it out fully standalone, playing music off of the USB & CD inputs, but eventually decided to do a bunch of practising with software running on my Macbook (Mixxx if you’re interested) as the built-in BPM detection on the CDJ-400s is apparently not that reliable as it doesn’t do the whole track at once, so that makes matching the BPM of different songs a little tricky. Hoping to do some training at some point to be able to pull that off.
Earlier in the week I finally got around to moving my website off of Vercel and onto Fly.io. Not exactly self-hosting as I was thinking of initially, but I figured I would give it a shot since I have some free allowances on there anyway, and they make scaling across regions really easy (not that my personal website would ever really need that :P). At the moment it’s still a fully static site now being served by Caddy, but that’ll change as I add some of the features I’ve been wanting which will need an actual runtime behind the website. All in due time!
Gardening this week was mostly just some simple weeding to clear space for more plants down the line, but I did buy some sunflower seeds and sprinkled them around in some of the empty spots, mainly to help with pollinators down the line, as it was a big shame I had to get rid of the bok choy.
And last, but certainly not least, I decided to bake some cookies yesterday! We’ve ended up with a few too many eggs since someone bought a whole bunch while we already had some, so I needed an excuse to use some of them. It didn’t actually use that many eggs, so I’m possibly going to make another batch or so, and maybe even a cake at some point!
This week’s song is ORACLE & MØØNE – Tether.
