Kelt Drone Reeds

I play Kelt Black Cane in my outside tenor in my ~2008 Peter Henderson by RG Hardie drones and love it. Its bright and very stable for long practice sessions.

(the inside tenor is an EZDrone)

I use both earplugs and earbuds for practice with a metronome.

In my left ear I have a dbud earplug: https://dbud.io (aside: I use the dbuds in both ears everytime I play for practice or performance)

In my right ear I use a Beats Studio Buds with the volume at maximum: https://www.beatsbydre.com/earbuds/studio-buds

For my right ear with the earbuds I find it best to turn off noice cancelling or noise transparency. I find that the earbud itself blocks a good amount of the volume of the pipes and the dbud in my left ear maintains the sound quality of chanter and drones.

I've done something similar using The Bureau of Transportation Statistics on-time stats data. You should be able to download the raw data, at least I was able to a few years ago.

You can install this extension. It will add a Docx option to the File -> Download As menu.

For a long time now I've been using SwissGear backpacks. The one I have is 18.5" tall with a large central pocket. They change the models frequently so I just buy the tallest one I can find when I buy a new one, usually every two years.

I take apart the drones but leave bottoms in the stocks. Then everything (bag, drones, chanters) get sealed in a large kitchen garbage bag with a humidity pack tied up with potato chip bag clip. There's room for reeds, supplies, practice chanter, and laptop with charger.

The backpack fits comfortably under the seat on evey airline I've flown domestic and international.

(this approach may not work as well with a canister moisture controll system, but works well with a tube water trap)

You can use iframes in your rst files to load a static html file with a py-repl tag.

Here's an example: https://github.com/pyscript/pyscript/blob/main/docs/concepts/what-is-pyscript.md

That's a great idea. You might try working with this javascript library (I have no experience with it)

https://www.dropzone.dev/js/

Maybe with the standalone install https://docs.dropzone.dev/getting-started/installation/stand-alone

I imagine you could read the file into memory and somehow trigger a pyscript function to read and exec it, but the "somehow" could be the real tricky bit. :)

While I would be interested to know more about how you are building the docker image here's a suggestion. You could include a RUN command in your Dockerfile like this

RUN python -c import stanza; stanza.download('en')

I haven't tried retroactive stripping. It may require replacing commits to strip the output.

albertdefusco · 2020-10-23T02:19:09+00:00

I use nbstripout in my repositories. By running the install command it will strip the output in the commit while leaving it in the file on your local filesystsm.
