There’s an absolutely phenomenal remix of The Streets - Blinded By The Lights currently playing on @labr.

You could say it’s…blinding…

Shazam tells me it’s Nero’s remix of Blinded By The Lights, and you could do worse than give it a spin.

I’m delighted to announce that my musical hyperfocus this afternoon is Aphrodite’s Child - The Four Horsemen, because it’s incredible.

Forgot to charge my watch last night, so am once again attempting to charge it on the charger I have at work. For reasons known only to it, it just doesn’t appear to actually work.

It’s a genuine Apple one, but no matter which USB socket I plug it into it just doesn’t appear to do anything useful. The watch indicates it’s charging, but the battery doesn’t seem to fill up.

Listening back to last night’s show (because I’m a narcissist), and am pleased with how my mic sounds. It was a little too loud last week, so I had to dip it in the edit before upload, meaning the levels are kinda shitty.

But I dropped the gain a touch this week and added a little EQ to it so it’s not so hot, but sounds a bit warmer. I’d like to add some compression to it, but can’t figure out how to do it in Mixxx.

Oof, today’s Wordle is an utter shithouse. Might see a good number of broken streaks.

@DJDarren Don't mean to brag, but I got it in 3.

Who am I trying to fool? I do mean to brag. 😃

@davidnjoku I got it in 4 because I’m a boss. But yeah, it’s a tricksy bitch.

I don't know what it is, but Mixcloud appears to be completely broken on Apple Silicon Safari

I've uploaded the show using my iPad, because Mixcloud just will not work with my Mac's browser, but I didn't fancy tagging it with the iPad's on screen keyboard, so I edited it on my Mac.

Hit save, and, well, nothing saved.

All that tagging, gone.

Fuck it, bed time.

I'll tell you what's fucking mad.

I present the show using my MacBook Air. I took it off charge at 7 when I set everything up.

I've just done two hours of live radio on the battery, and exported the recorded show and there's still 55% left in the tank.

Also, I came off air 12 minutes ago, and it's already exported the file.

Apple might be shithouses, but they know how to make a good computer.

Opening this week’s with a song that’s 30 seconds long and Steps.

God, I love doing radio.

If you don’t love this Aphrodite’s Child track then you need new ears.

Our health and safety manager had to knock up a risk assessment on behalf of one of our...lazier team leaders today.

H&S sent the final draft over to TL, called him and asked him to read it, because he's well positioned to add anything that H&S isn't aware of.

TL replied that there's no point, and he doesn't have time anyway. H&S insisted.

TL called back half an hour later to point a variety of things that need to be added.

Reader, I did a sensible chuckle.

Just seen this comment on /r/iPad that's a perfect summation of why iPadOS is what's standing in the way of iPad being a truly great device.

A screen grab of the second half of the comment linked in the first reply to this post. It is too long to paste in here.

Apologies to my blind followers; the post was too long to copy the text into the alt-text box. By some 1400 characters.

So here’s a link to the comment - https://www.reddit.com/r/ipad/comments/1cn7602/comment/l362n7z/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Has anyone else with an iOS device on 17.4/.1 noticed that Files is a copper bottomed pile of shit?

Turns out it's been a problem for a couple months, is fixed in the beta of 17.5 which has been up for a couple of weeks, but nothing has been sent out to regular users yet.

@DJDarren things keep freezing. I thought my phone was being planned-obsolescenced.

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@ShiitakeToast Yep, that's what's happening. Restart it and it should be ok.

I want to be on holiday in a warm country where the food is different and my only obligation is to sit somewhere in the shade and read a book.

Is that really too much to ask?

Been 'enjoying' some of the usual post-Eurovision chat at work this morning.

"Morning Darren, good weekend?"

"Yes thanks. Got drunk and enjoyed Eurovision"

"You watch that‽ It's just gay shit these days, isn't it?"

sigh

I work at the straightest place in the world and it's tiring.

“Why don’t you take it to HR?”

Babes, that was HR.

(It wasn’t in this instance, but I’ve heard similar shit from him in the past)

Feeling really antsy at work this morning, for no good reason I can ascertain.

Do not like.
