You know what? Fuck Google. Just when I think I couldn’t hate them more. Exporting my previous uploaded music (about 100gb worth) from their Play Music service. Do they put the songs into Artist / Album folders?

Nope.

Instead they package it up into 54 zipped folders and stick random songs along with loads of csv files with dumb stats in.

Seriously.

Now I’ll have to write a little script to read the song meta data and organise into folders myself.

I’ll share the script once it’s done and tested.

Started working on a side project I’m calling β€œPitch”. It’s an end to end encrypted website starter inspired by SiteJS by the Small Technology Foundation.

Got a basic vue app set up with the vue-cli but now can’t work out why my private key generator sometimes returns what I expect β€” a Uint8Array β€” and more often a mess of random characters.

Am I misunderstanding something I wonder?

Lead to the river, midsummer, I waved
A ‘V’ of black swans on with hope to the grave.
All through Red September with skies fire-paved
I begged you appear like a thorn for the holy ones

I’m so addicted to Death Stranding right now. Just the feeling of packing my truck full of lost cargo, planning a route, and driving around various people to deliver is soooo relaxing. This game is such a meditative experience.

Watching The people under the stairs

An image from an old film haunted me for some years in my childhood. Only recently did I discover somehow, without watching it, that the image was from The people under the stairs.

Now I’m going back in to a film I may have seen as a child and possibly blocked out, out of trauma.

Afterward

This film was amazing. I need to write up some thoughts on it soon.
