Any #inkscape users on here? I am (desperately) trying to make a cd cover cutout template. I've made the shape to be cut out from several squares, but I would now like to get rid of the inner parts of those squares ( I only need the outline of the whole shape because it's for a cutout). How the hoot do I do that?

@madskjeldgaard Could you set the "Fill" to "No paint"? Under "Fill and Stroke" (Ctrl+Shift+f).

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@madskjeldgaard Ah sorry, yeah, I'd misunderstood. To make this all into one shape:

• Select everything
• Press x, for "Shape Builder Tool"
• Click and drag over all the bits
• Press Enter

Excellent news.

But what have the Tories seen coming that means they don't want to hang on till the autumn?

Well, if the Conservatives have indeed been trying to throw the next General Election – as it's looked like to me for a while now – picking 4th July for it makes perfect sense.

• Probably one of the more memorable dates (along with 11th September) that isn't a national holiday here.

• Summer, so we're inclined to be out and about, and perhaps swing by our polling stations.

• Not yet the school holidays, so school-age families mostly won't be out of the country.

This morning for some reason the first thing I did was decide to listen to a random Game Gear soundtrack. I picked Alien Syndrome because it was the first I saw listed and I enjoyed it immensely.

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@famousblueben Oh nice! I don't have any Game Gear ones brewing, but if Mega Drive soundtracks cut the mustard just as well for you, played on guitar, I'm aiming to upload a video including tracks from a couple of them in a day or two.

The index is finished!!! It only took me 3 months, lol. :blobcatsipsweat:

My question is: was no one pressing records in 1966? There's only one album in our list from that year (Alton Ellis) and it's not even a full album, it's a compilation that includes some singles released in '66.

https://1001otheralbums.com/index/

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Okay, if these are tagged right, here's a pick of what I have from '66:

• "If You Can Believe Your Eyes And Ears" by The Mama's And The Papa's [contains California Dreamin']
• "Spellbinder" by Gábor Szabó
• "Blonde on Blonde" by Bob Dylan
• "Pet Sounds" by The Beach Boys
• "Revolver" by The Beatles

I reckon all of these, maybe except "Spellbinder", people didn't bother to pick thinking they're probably on the other other list. I don't know it well, but now digging "Spellbinder".

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Gosh! So, I may well keep this album in mind for Volume 2… (Dude, here's 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'! Wonder if this is the original.)

Tickled that you put the 18th / 19th Century stuff under their years of composition, by the way. Always been torn about how best to tag that.

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Well, no, the original was Cher, written by Sonny: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Bang_(My_Baby_Shot_Me_Down)

I didn't realise she was around back in the 60s!

This "Spellbinder" does seem well regarded, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spellbinder_(album)

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Ah yeah, smart. Also, back then maybe the date of the sheet music's publication (soon-ish after composition, who knows?) was the equivalent of today's album release date?

Aww, really? You know, go on then, I'll nominate it! I for one would've been glad to discover it in the list. Hopefully more people do.

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Oh yeah, me too.

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Check out how they mixed Cher's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13j8kBehIj4

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Amazing, cheers!

Yeah, maybe it depends how we slice it? Either keep it close and only include, you know, "album era" albums; or consider their function as a recording of music and broaden it out to let other eras bring in music recorded in the media available to them.

By the way, on defining stuff, I wonder if you'd be into this poll (17 hours left) by @sean_ae from Autechre: https://mas.to/deck/@sean_ae/112455610043113581

status: feeling annoyed that programmers messed up the definition of "dependency".

in the phrase "X depends on Y", the dependency* is X, but programmers decided the dependency is Y.

[*] also called the dependant or dependent

@JamesWidman Never spotted this! And look what just happened in my imagination:

postrequisite, noun — a requirement that only becomes apparent after the fact

@Xibanya Can't help thinking this series of performances is begging to be done over a backing track that you keep re-encoding at lower and lower .mp3 quality for each translation…

How much RAM do you have in your dev workstation/laptop?

miblo,

@pervognsen [32 GB] But only as of a few weeks ago when I included an upgrade from 8 GB with my storage space upgrade.

@buffyleigh Aww cool. So it was quite a coincidence I picked out KEXP when we were talking about scrobbling last week! Which reminds me, I meant to get back to you there. But first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EvB4pwdkVQ

I’m going to focus on my problem of whether I start a new list or just keep adding to the list of albums I listened to last month, because I can solve that problem and can’t do a damn thing about, like, anything else at all right now.

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Cool, yeah. If you have any issues setting it up, I'd be happy to try and help.

buffyleigh, to random
@buffyleigh@mas.to avatar

The last two full albums I listened to both had Roman numerals in the title, and were both numbered "II".

Anyone have other recommendations of albums with "II" in the title?

miblo,
@miblo@mas.to avatar

@buffyleigh Playing a bit fast and loose with the criteria to get this one in: https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/bare-nuckle-ii-1993

@buffyleigh Hehe, awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
