Tales from the Potts House: William Hope Hodgson: The Updated Studio
http://hodgecast.blogspot.com/2008/08/updated-studio.html
Tales from the Potts House: William Hope Hodgson. Audio recordings of the works of William Hope Hodgson, by Paul R. Potts. The following is really only for recording geeks; read on if you'd like to know what I'm using to put together my latest podcasts. This is really a bit premature since I'm writing this before releasing any of the new audio, but it will be a good incentive for me to hurry up and get something done.

Tales from the Potts House: William Hope Hodgson: September 2008
http://hodgecast.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tales from the Potts House: William Hope Hodgson. Audio recordings of the works of William Hope Hodgson, by Paul R. Potts. The End of Summer. We just got back from a family vacation in Grand Marais, Michigan, on Lake Superior. I made a video - my first - using Apple iMove, and uploaded it to a brand-spanking-new YouTube account. The video is our family vacation, in the form of a music video for Jonathan Coulton's song "Summer's Over" (Thing a Week #51). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). By Paul R. Potts. SpinT...

Geek Like Me, Too: The Situation (Day 135)
http://geeklikemetoo.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-situation-day-135.html
Geek Like Me, Too. A middle-aged software curmudgeon's rants, raves, gripes, and prophecies. Wednesday, July 24, 2013. The Situation (Day 135). I was fortunate to have a 401K to cash out, and to get the food and unemployment benefits I've gotten - so far I have been able to pay every bill on time and my credit rating is, so far, completely unscathed. But winter is coming. And another son is coming - Benjamin Merry Potts, most likely around the middle of October. It might make more sense to buy a used car...

Praise, Curse, and Recurse: April 2008
http://praisecurseandrecurse.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Praise, Curse, and Recurse. On programming and programming languages: because there has got to be a better way. Snakes on the Wing. So far, Wing IDE gets the nod as the best Python editor I've tried. I had a very productive day with Wing IDE on Windows, and it worked great, with no crashes, and very nice debugging functions. I'm grateful for all the recommendations! Beware the IDEs of April. I'll have to give it some thought. The Abysmal State of Python IDEs. Most of them have the look of personal hobby ...

Praise, Curse, and Recurse: The Polar Game in Haskell, Day 6/12: Towards a GUI, Continued
http://praisecurseandrecurse.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-polar-game-in-haskell-day-612.html
Praise, Curse, and Recurse. On programming and programming languages: because there has got to be a better way. The Polar Game in Haskell, Day 6/12: Towards a GUI, Continued. OK, so when I left off last time, I was running into a gruesome link error. I found this Stack Overflow thread. Sudo port -fp uninstall - follow-dependents installed. And then I'm manually cleaning out some of the stuff mentioned in this article. Now to install Homebrew:. I ran brew doctor and wow, I have a mountain of warnings....

Praise, Curse, and Recurse: The Polar Game in Haskell, Day 6: Towards a GUI
http://praisecurseandrecurse.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-polar-game-in-haskell-day-6-towards.html
Praise, Curse, and Recurse. On programming and programming languages: because there has got to be a better way. The Polar Game in Haskell, Day 6: Towards a GUI. So, I have some time today to program and I want to see how far I can get in starting to develop a GUI for my game, incomplete as it is. Can I get a window displayed and reacting to mouse or keyboard events, and drive the game logic with it? I came across the paper FranTk - A Declarative GUI Language for Haskell. Configure: error: Either a previo...

Praise, Curse, and Recurse: The Polar Game in Haskell, Day 5: Array v. List
http://praisecurseandrecurse.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-polar-game-in-haskell-day-5-array-v.html
Praise, Curse, and Recurse. On programming and programming languages: because there has got to be a better way. The Polar Game in Haskell, Day 5: Array v. List. Nevertheless, this is a small problem, and efficiency is not my biggest concern, at least not in the learning phase. I wanted to figure out how to use an immutable array. The tutorials have not been very satisfying. They seem to assume that anything this trivial is too trivial to demonstrate. But here's what I did. I specified some bounds:. For a...

Geek Versus Guitar: March 2014
http://geekversusguitar.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
A Geek. A Guitar. You've Been Warned. Friday, March 28, 2014. SpinTunes 8 Round 4 Rankings and Reviews. So, the process is a little different for this round: the finalists are ranked by popular vote and the vote of previous contestants. So I'm off the hook, a bit, for trying to decide which song of the final four is the best. I still need to write reviews, and I will rank the four. There are also twelve shadows this round, including five. By the Boffo Yux Dudes. Wow. 1 Jenny Katz, Clear. Nice music - yet...

Geek Versus Guitar: SpinTunes 8 Round 1 Rankings and Reviews
http://geekversusguitar.blogspot.com/2014/02/spintunes-8-round-1-rankings-and-reviews.html
A Geek. A Guitar. You've Been Warned. Friday, February 14, 2014. SpinTunes 8 Round 1 Rankings and Reviews. I am judging entries for SpinTunes 8. There are two basic requirements for a judge: I'm supposed to provide some sort of review for each song, and I'm also supposed to rank them in order from best to worst. The review part comes naturally to me; the ranking is a bit harder. What makes me want to hear a song again? Production counts for something too, but there's not just one kind of production I app...
