Following up to my earlier post (https://social.omgmog.net/2023/fiddling-around-with-a-convoluted-method-of ) I've got a less convoluted method of handling switching audio output devices from a macro keypad now.

I'm now using Hammerspoon https://www.hammerspoon.org/ -- a powerful tool that lets you define all sorts of automation using Lua. This is my script for switching audio output devices: https://gist.github.com/omgmog/8c2139c9270431b7cddd93a947c9018c

I'm also now using a cheap 3-key macro pad from Aliexpress (rather than the Pimoroni RGB Keypad as I couldn't think of a good use for the rest of the keys!) that I've got bound to F12/F13/F14 keys.

This is a book about building applications using hypermedia systems. Hypermedia systems might seem like a strange phrase: how is hypermedia a system? Isn’t hypermedia just a way to link documents together?

This is great! http://axio.ms//projects/2024/06/16/MicroMac.html

Now... what would it take to fit this inside something like the little Macintosh 128k brick set I built the other week?

Slash pages are common pages you can add to your website, usually with a standard, root-level slug like /now, /about, or /uses. They tend to describe the individual behind the site and are distinguishing characteristics of the IndieWeb.

Jaki Maker Pop: Personal Computer SE 1984

Enjoyed building this small model that I bought from AliExpress.

It's a very detailed facsimile of the Macintosh 128k, and can be completed in around 45 minutes.

Fiddling around with a convoluted method of setting up macro keys on Mac OS. I'm using the old faithful Pimoroni RGB Keypad with a Pico, some basic CircuitPython keyboard stuff, and these two nifty apps:

switchaudio-osx: CLI utility to switch audio source https://github.com/deweller/switchaudio-osx icanhazshortcut: shortcut manager to bind any keyboard combo to any command https://github.com/deseven/icanhazshortcut

Anyway it's working nicely for me right now! So far I've got headphone/speaker output toggles and volume control sorted. Just 12 more keys to assign 🤔

This is a really nice interactive tool for learning how SVG paths are drawn

Understanding SVG Paths

If you've ever looked at the SVG code for an icon before, you might have noticed that they're usually made up of a bunch of path elements, each with a cryptic d attribute.

A great summary/recap of Breath of the Wild.

Should have my copy of Tears of the Kingdom before the end of the day. That's my weekend plans sorted!
