I volunteer as 'IT person' for a museum in its early days, (https://www.eicas.nl - @EICAS).
I would love to connect with other "museum people" and "museum IT people", here and elsewhere.
Any boosts/recommendations welcome!
Spent some time adding some of the local places I like to the #wikivoyage page for my town, #deventer
Not sure if it is 'worth it', as a traveller I don't find wikivoyage pages particularly easy to consume, but it was a nice relaxing activity for a slow sunday afternoon.
Recommended watching for today:
"The woman behind your WiFi
Hedy Lamarr: Frequency Hopping in Hollywood"
#theCinema #InternationalWomensDay

That Andrew Peterson interactive #git reference is just so nice.

You'd think being a vector format, #SVG would be really easy to scale.
No free lunch though: for straight horizontal/vertical lines, they will either be anti-aliased or sharp depending on whether the edge happens to end up aligned with a pixel or not.
Once you see it, you see it even on a fancy-schmancy 15" 4K UHD screen...
So now, rather than just doing 'imagemagick convert', I'm considering scaling the SVG and doing a quick script to pull the straight lines to the nearest pixel first...
Today I had a lot of fun re-listening the "West Coast Boogaloo" album by the Greyboy Allstars, with 2 of my musical heroes: Karl Denson (of his Tiny Universe) and Fred Wesley (of James Brown fame).
When it came out back in 1994 I bought this album "as a download" - which was somewhat of a novelty at the time.
Imagine my surprise when I found out just last year they re-issued it on fancy 3-colored vinyl. Somewhat of a gimmick, sure, but I couldn't resist :D
Hi there!
I've been on the fediverse since 2018, but recently moved into @merveilles.town, so I guess it's time for a new #introduction!
I'm a #software developer from #Deventer, the #Netherlands. I love #opensource, #NixOS, @reproducible_builds, maintain a #tiling #x11 #windowmanager @notion and help organize @mch2021. I'm part of @hack42 and work on #akka for Lightbend.
Looking forward to meeting all you creative people! Feel free to get in touch, both public and private.
