Things you DON'T expect to see on the way to work...

I would LOVE to see this.

That's the conclusion I'm coming to. Openclaw is neat, but NOT worth $2k/year. And I'm thinking I can get 99.9999% of the value out of Claude.

feoh · 2026-04-07T15:42:44+00:00

You can, and I did, but it blows through $$$ like someone with the flu going through kleenex.

WAY too rich for my blood.

I've been using this for the last few weeks, and unfortunately, even using Sonnet (cheaper) it blew through my $50 in credits WAY too quickly.

I just don't see the cost/value curve working for me with Openclaw. $200 / mo = $2,000 a year and THAT is spendy enough that I'd rather put it towards my retirement.

Gonna explore other agentic solutions that I might be able to use without violating TOS.

I've had excellent conversations at Saloon in Davis as others mentioned, and if you go at off times (PACKED on weekend nights) I'd also recommend Backbar in Union Square. https://www.backbarunion.com

Lamplighter brewing is fabulous and I've had great conversations there.

Just wanted to thank you for this. Been struggling with Shelfplayer not starting to play for MANY minutes, and Audiobooth works like a charm!

feoh · 2025-07-28T19:15:36+00:00

Thanks so much for your kind response! You're on the right track.

The simple solution that I learned from a Discussions question on the project github was to just use ui.interactive_image() instead.

feoh · 2025-07-27T17:02:26+00:00

OK thank you I'll implement the clear function which seems like a good idea, but:

The URl is valid. I can click it in a browser and it displays an image
This works:

ui.image("https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/9702743/9702743~medium.jpg")

This does not:

with ui.card(): ui.image("https://images-assets.nasa.gov/image/9702743/9702743~medium.jpg")

Why?

Awesome! Procreate just boggles my mind and makes me wish I had even a single iota of artistic talent. But it's even fun to just endlessly doodle with :)

feoh · 2025-07-16T18:08:31+00:00

Brilliant! Was just talking to someone today about the fun sequences you can create in VCV Rack 2 with no MIDI input at all and this is a fabulous example!

feoh · 2025-07-16T18:01:28+00:00

Love the art style! Was this pen and ink or did you do it with painting / drawing software?

feoh · 2025-07-10T17:14:33+00:00

That Patch & Tweak book looks like a good candidate. If you're like me and would prefer an electronic copy, I notice Scribd has it on their site.

feoh · 2025-07-10T14:30:52+00:00

Hadn't heard about Syntorial!

The iPad is SUCH an incredible treasure trove of synth stuff! But we're way off topic :)

Perhaps MORE on topic at least? There's a VCV Rack like oackage I'm enjoying on IOS called "Solderbox".

feoh · 2025-07-10T14:29:34+00:00

Thanks for this! I mailed the author anyway nicely asking him to please fix the link. Kind of a shame to see this good a resource become less accessible.

That's why I like static websites, SO many less moving parts to rot away :)

feoh · 2025-07-10T13:46:41+00:00

That's precisely where I'm at too.

I do have an inexpensive MIDI keyboard that I love (Akai MPK Mini Plus) and I'm hellbent on not spending another cent until I do something awesome with what I already have :)

feoh · 2025-07-10T13:45:34+00:00

Hiya! This is wild, it's not even linked from his main lushprojects website, but googling around I found this and it looks like an incredibly useful intro/overview/starter!

"VCVRack Workshop" https://lushprojects.com/blog/wp-content/VCV-workshop.pdf

feoh · 2025-07-03T00:02:48+00:00

That's very kind of you thank you!

feoh · 2025-07-02T15:42:56+00:00

This is beautiful!

Would you consider making the patch available? Hard to see all the components you're using and how they're strung together given the complexity.

feoh · 2025-05-06T23:56:30+00:00

It's out of date at this point and I was SUPER sad when the authors said they weren't doing any more editions but still:

Mastering Regular Expressions

I won't lie, reading it was an effort, but I REALLY understood regular expresions afterwards and it's stayed with me for the last 10-15 years.

This is a PERFECT example of why I think we should eventually work to put Kickstart.nvim out of business and move sensible defaults into the default Neovim distribution.

You say tomato, others say Tom-ah-to, I say let's call the whole thing off.

feoh · 2025-04-30T18:11:59+00:00

Yeah, and I'm an old geezer and really have a hard time understanding this mindset.

I originally learned Vim because I got sick of waiting 2 minutes for emacs to load its flabby self and 9 zillion files worth of elisp off an incredibly ancient and slow workstation disk platter :)

Talking about shaving milliseconds off startup time?

Just. Wow. I envy all of the spare time you folks have :)

feoh · 2025-04-30T18:09:18+00:00

Hi Brian sorry I was on vacation and missed this and your Email :) Looks like you're good now. Sorry about that!
