tools i use

Writing

Increasingly, I'm a pen and paper girlie. When I do things with the 'puter, I love using plain text whenever possible.

When I want to feel real fancy, I'll use the Schneider fountain pen I got a few birthdays ago. Other than that, I'll use Staedtlers or Microns, a Copic here and there and whatever ballpoint I have on hand.

Sketchbook and writing book. A copic, fountain pen, .5 fineliner and ballpoint.

Audio

One day I'll fulfil my DAWless analog tape dreams. Until then, there's these funny programs and the 90s sample CDs page on archive.org.

On the hardware side of things, I've scaled down a lot in recent years and now the only thing I use that's not a computer is a Zoom H2n (Which is great!) and whatever MIDI keyboard I can find.

Video

Either animation or footage shot by talented friends. The only camera I currently own is an ancient Nikon Coolpix s210.

Hardware

My main machines are a 2013 MacBook Air (Lychee) and a custom PC (Moya) for when I want to have some Gamer Moments. I draw on a 2018 iPad Pro (Tamarillo).

For mixing, I use DT 770 pros. For listening on the go, I'll either toss the iPad in my bag and use AirPods Pro 2 (Hala + Sapodillas) or I take an old iPod nano 3G (Walnut) or 4G (Mandarijn) with cheap earbuds. My phone's a red GT-E1150i.

On my desk: Moya, some hard drives, a Zoom H2n, DT 770 pros, an iPod nano 3g called Walnut, Casio watch, old Samsung flip phone, shake egg

Static site generators

The best is doing it all by hand and tending to it like a garden.
But if that's not practical:

The visitor counters and the guestbook write to plain text files using — are you sitting down — PHP scripts. That's right.

Hosting

Shoutout to all the wonderful people who hook up a Raspi to a solar panel. I will join you some day! But for now:

Graphics

Other than The Uzhe with Adobe's stuff (HCiSO and TNT Group are braver than the troops):
