Week 42 of 2025
it’s the week before the week before spooksmas.
on friday i checked the calendar to see if it was monday.
🎵 you could spend all day on a swing eating a baguette
but why do boring things like that when there’s the internet? 🎵
Imagine a world where every word ever written, every picture ever painted and every film ever shot could be viewed instantly in your home via an Information Superhighway.
In fact, that’s already happening on something called The Internet.
The president is committed to integrating this dynamic medium into The White House

i can draft the memo, have bob’s OK on it, and immediately mail to California. They’ll receive it in about 2 minutes, over the telephone line
<frameset> mafia cheat site. document.write("winsock packet editor").
FoohFooh, a bobbaing hobba of all people, “can i call you chee?” yes, in
fact everyone will from now on Trina, thank you.
ice rink skating, singing jefferson airplane, we both wearing rabbit ears. and
then ___mr.big___ stole my spyro egg. and i sit in all my riches (literally
hundreds of those limited time only coconut photo stands, thousands of dollars
worth of unearned furni transferred to me when ___mr.big___’s account was
revoked), but it’s so empty without the spyro egg (it was in his Hand when the
deletion happened, and so was lost forever). not just because the spyro egg is
rare (50 ever made), but because you gave me that spyro egg (1 ever made).
and in another life, <*biiiy> told everyone in #green room about DAT Politics — Wow Twist! and you
reconnected after hurricaine katrina and there was someone who loved me but
then there was you.
sweetchee, sweetchee, rocking chair on the patio
bird. said “jay kay” out loud on that Skype call. then hanna’s gay friend said “lol” out loud in Golden Discs on saturday.

yet now, i’m being chased down the street by a military grade robot dog with an internet connected llm brain shouting all my darkest secrets at strangers because i have not yet complied with its wishes.

well, we’ll always have blood and heartbeats
talking of blood and heartbeats, i made some multisampler presets for the teenage engineering op-xy and made a website for them:
https://quietparty.net/presets/op-xy/
i also made an op-xy drum kit maker like the one i made for the deluge last year:
i really should rip the code for splitting op-1 drum sounds into parts out of this and make it available as a library, because i think it might be the only implementation that works with all 3 versions of the op-1 drum format (firmwares 1 & 2, and field)
the code
function op1OffsetToSampleIndex(num = 0, stereo = false) {
// i have NO IDEA why it's 2032, i don't understand how that relates to
// anything. not to 65536, not to 44100, not to 2147483646, not to 12
// seconds, not to 16 bits. kara points out that it is 127*16, which
// _are_ both computer numbers. but why?
// but i've tried all the other numbers and this is the best number,
// hands down, no question
// the 1219.2 i got by 2032*12/20
// (because on the field there are 20 tracks)
// the "stereo" prop is the indicator that you are reading a field kit
// it's funny, because there's this drum_version field but that only
// changed once when they changed the format from big endian to little endian
// so the effective version number is something you have to calculate from
// .drum_version and .stereo
const divisor = stereo == true ? 1219.2 : 2032
return Math.floor(num / divisor / 2) * 2
}
// todo use text decoder?
