This is one of these things that gets copied around without crediting the author or mentioning any source. Yea, I'm doing it too. I don't know where I got it from anymore.

If you still have a physical pcspeaker, execute this in your Linux shell for some beep music:

beep -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.1 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.2 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.1 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.2 -D 100 -n -l 700 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 587.32 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 587.32 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 587.32 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 622.26 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.2 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 369.99 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.1 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.2 -D 100 -n -l 700 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 784 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 784 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 739.98 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 698.46 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 659.26 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 622.26 -D 100 -n -l 50 -f 659.26 -D 400 -n -l 25 -f 415.3 -D 200 -n -l 350 -f 554.36 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 523.25 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 493.88 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 440 -D 100 -n -l 50 -f 466.16 -D 400 -n -l 25 -f 311.13 -D 200 -n -l 350 -f 369.99 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.13 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 700 -f 587.32 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 784 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 350 -f 784 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 739.98 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 698.46 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 659.26 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 622.26 -D 100 -n -l 50 -f 659.26 -D 400 -n -l 25 -f 415.3 -D 200 -n -l 350 -f 554.36 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 523.25 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 493.88 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 440 -D 100 -n -l 50 -f 466.16 -D 400 -n -l 25 -f 311.13 -D 200 -n -l 350 -f 392 -D 100 -n -l 250 -f 311.13 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 300 -f 392.00 -D 150 -n -l 250 -f 311.13 -D 100 -n -l 25 -f 466.16 -D 100 -n -l 700 -f 392

I've converted it for FreeBSD:

echo "L15T120MSO4G...G...G...D#..A#G...D#..A#G.....>D...D...D...D#..<A#F#...D#..A#G.....>G...<G..G>G...F#..FED#E.~~~~<G#~>C#...C..<BA#AA#.~~~~D#~F#...D#..GA#...G..A#>D.....G...<G..G>G...F#..FED#E.~~~~<G#~>C#...C..<BA#AA#.~~~~D#~G...D#..A#G.._~D#...A#G....." > /dev/speaker

I'm no musician. I know it's not quite right. But if you ask me, for what it is it's almost good enough. (I think you can tell that I'm not a Star Wars fan.)

Just Try It! It Will Have Been Simple Afterwards.

Entry created on 2021-03-18 Authors: steeph (376) Categories: ADHD (3) DIY (17) Procrastination (1) Thoughts (73) Languages used: en (257) edit

Again and again I encounter technical problems (software bugs, hardware defects) that seem to be nearly impossible to fix without having had a proper education in the respective field. The simple, and correct, way to getting rid of these types of problems surely is to declare them not a problem. Buy a new device, convince yourself that you don't want the feature anyway, make somebody else solve your problem and blame them if it isn't perfect or breaks again.

But in those cases where I do find the motivation to try and repair something myself, it is often easier than expected and always so in hindsight. If you have repaired something yourself before that you initially considered to be a problem that is above your capabilities, I congratulate you on this eminently gratifying feeling that more often than not seems to come with this experience. If you haven't, this sentence doesn't address you.

Film: The Road

The boy's father in "The Road" is not a good father. Change my mind.

All things considered, I'm glad he died. It would have been even better had he died earlier.

I'm good at misjudging people's moods.

Theres no feeling like the feeling you get when you finally tidied up your .bashrc, added every alias and function you ever wanted there and then accidently overwrite it with something silly before you made a backup.

USB Volume Control Knob

Entry created on 2020-12-04 Authors: steeph (376) Categories: Arduino (4) Computer (78) DIY (17) Electronics (16) Projects (41) incomplete (22) Languages used: en (257) Topics: Projects → Arduino (4) edit

Volume control used to be a lot more responsive, quick and simple when the used potentiometers (analogue knobs or wheels). Just reach to the knob and the volume is at 0 or 100% almost instantly. No key combinations, no deactivated function keys, no switching tabs, no delay (!), no pressing the same botton multiple times or holding it down. I miss that.
