Dolby Atmos Everywhere...

Been deep diving Dolby Atmos for the past few months. Thanks to gear I have for testing from work, stuff hanging around from old experiments in Dolby 5.1 and the odd NFR license I've managed to cobble a system together for £46.

Been a long time since I put key to screen. A lot of death and grief. Life has got better recently. 

Rust + Serde + JSON

I spent a lot of time researching how to parse multi-entry JSON via Serde - I finally worked it out, so figured I'd document it here...

Pi & Mash

Pretty much finished 'PiAndMash' - that's what I'm calling it.

Long time gone...

Been ages since I posted here.

Wraps are off

After an extensive period of development, and secrecy. The official launch of Running Unlimited's Zone...

Running Unlimited

Haven't blogged for a while - not out of laziness - but due to work I'm doing being protected by NDA. Well it's out in the wild now

Converging Mirrors

I've been playing a bit with Paul Bourke's mirror technique...

KWorld UB499-2T under Arch Linux

I've just been wresting with this so I thought I'd save someone some time:

Django + Nginx and shared media

I've been struggling with this for a couple of days - so I'm sticking them here for memoryade. I'm building a site from Django, using Nginx as the front end.

Arch...

I've been playing with Arch Linux recently. Actually I've been playing with Debian, OpenSuSE, Xubuntu plus a few others - ever since Ubuntu 11.10 took away a workable Gnome fallback. Looks like I'm not alone, and I knew it was coming. Unity and Gnome Shell are garbage...

Arduino Dome Control

I'm looking for a way to replace the AMX/Netlinx in the dome. This is as proprietary as it gets - AMX panel is expensive, the Netlinx is expensive, the SDK is expensive - and the whole shebang ends up completely non extensible without access to a £400 per day contractor.

Abdij

I've started brewing my own beer. I'm trying to brew a 'Leffe Bruin' clone. This seems quite a difficult style to start with, so I might call it 'Hair Shirt'...

Fisheyes in the Clouds

I'm rendering a piece for a competition at this year's Jena Domefest. The piece comprises various visual data representations of a work by Liszt. This needs to rendered at 2k fisheye - that is 2048x2048. It should be rendered at 3.2k - but I'm entering as a student.

Métamorphose

Let's hear it for Metamophose a bulk file renamer. I used to swear by Thunar - part of XFCE. But I've just had to rename 4000 TGA files, out of 14,000 TGA files to have proper zero padding and Thunar gave up. Metamophose was the only thing that could handle it...
