...tap...tap...tap - is this thing on

To be fair, you can comfortably ignore this.

I'm playing. This post originated in the blog on my website. It should automatically appear in Mastodon/Fediverse and Hive.Blog

For no other reason than I want to see if it appears, here is a picture of some #bleepbloop machines in my studio.


It was taken a while back - it is less tidy now...

And, while were testing things, a link or two:

https://gribbles.bandcamp.com/track/through-the-magic-window-session-26-may-2021

That'll do for now. Enough to see what's what.

Move along, nothing to see here....

Is the distribution all coming via Wordpress? I don't use it, so am not up on what it can do. I am on Mastodon and it's interesting to see the take-up there. A few people I was following on Twitter have moved over. This is one of those key moments in internet progress. Maybe more people will be looking at decentralised options now.

Yeah it is.

Exxp for the hive integration and Mastodon Autopost for Mastodon.

Exxp is a fantastic plugin. There's some limitations that are more to do with hive.blog - the new editor in recent WP updates lets you create some complex layouts which hive.blog just can't cope with. But basic, simple stuff formatted in horizontal blocks (which is probably easier to read anyway) seems to work just fine.

The Mastodon plugin just posts a ~400 word excerpt of the blog post to your feed and then links back to the post in WP. Does what it says on the tin really, but there's a few others I'll have a play with.

There is a plugin that turns your blog into an ActivityPub node in the fediverse - which is very funky, but not quite what I need right now...

Cool. I know people want to get their content to the widest possible audience. I gave up on running my own blog site years ago as I found I got better engagement on Hive, but that does mean some people won't see it. There are too many platforms to be active on all of them. I see some people who post to Hive from things like dtube, but then never engage with comments. They would do better if they did, but maybe they have a bigger audience elsewhere.

Nothing to see here, except a beautiful video. Nothing to hear except beautiful music.

Nice man, having a listen now, and love what I hear so far, Existence Evolved is quality, great collab with the @stickupboys. It's like Lemon Jelly mixed with Gorillaz and Public Service Broadcasting. I love sampling in songs, especially old snippets from news shows or the likes from back in the day.

Beach is another quality track and I am surprised to see <1000 listens, keep up the work and you will grow, no doubt. Great production on these tracks.

Genuinely pleased you like it. And, boy, I'll take that comparison! Awesome.

The @stickupboys collabs were great to do. They really 'got' my stuff, and the words/moods they put to it fit like a glove.

Blimey, folks - thanks for all the upvotes on what amounted to a "testing...testing..." post!

Perhaps I should stop threatening to get my sh!t together and post more, and actually do it!!
