Hi all, I am Tormod 🇳🇴🇸🇪 (he / him)

My days are spent as a consultant in enterprise IT organizations, mainly focusing on teamwork and the people side of delivery. In particular with coaching, processes and enabling teams to work better together across departments and vendors.

My passions are in the areas of #photography, #graphicdesign, #typography and #music. And, of course, family ❤️

Happy to talk to anyone, and I will assume you're awesome until proven otherwise.

I used to be thrilled every time launched and was like "Do you want to install the update"? Yes! Free! Awesome! Works better!

...Now that they're owned by Canva, I have this fear that every update might be The One that starts the enshittification.

@jonobie

Yeah, I hear you. Affinity makes great products and we all hope the commercial model will stay reasonable. I have similar fears.

I'm trying to apply some Buddhist advice I heard once:

Don't worry.
If it doesn't happen, we have worried for nothing.
If it DOES happen, us having worried about it will not change it.

A perfect example of Governmental Capture by big business. These are ALL companies that has everything to gain by selling "AI" through massively inflated corporate needs for "compute" and "storage" resources on their cloud services and/or using their hardware.

Here's my music:

https://songwhip.com/white-town

I love that I can bung you one link which then has every service my music is on, plus other stuff.

Well, sadly, is shutting down.

So, lil tooters, what is the best alternative to Songwhip? I've just gone through a couple of 'BEST ALTERNATIVE' lists and they were obviously generated by drunk AIs. In a coal scuttle. With low batteries. Just awful.

I'm hoping you ugly bags of mostly water can do better?

Dang, so are shutting down? One of the truly great services that consistently did just what it was designed to do, with no fuss and a straightforward interface.

Miss it already...

Such a wonderful track, a true classic.

You might have heard it, but Al Jarreau and George Benson made a suberb cover of it too:

😱 Eeep! @hilljam & I just confirmed a show in a city we haven't yet played on the Good to Me tour! Any guesses?

@shannoncurtis @hilljam

It is. The "Poolside Singers" are the highlight of the series for me, even if they only get a minute or two of airtime per episode. The way they go with 100% confidence into the old synth hits, with hillarious outfits and only Spanish lyrics is priceless.

Weirdly, I found not a single clip on YouTube of them.
