By popular request there is yet another Zynth Club tonight at 19:00 UTC. Usual place, usual suspects. Keyser Sƶze may even attend!

Iād love to attend, but Iām afraid I have to spend the night debugging somethingā¦
The engineer inside me cries ānot againā, while the masochist on the other side just says āyes pleaseāā¦
I was a pleasant evening attended with a prodominantly British quorate with representation from the USA (which I still feel is part of the empire 
). In no particular order and without any particular order we discussed:
- Canals and their soothing effect on the soul
- Unconsiderate parking, bananas and exhaust pipes
- African male choirs
- Brian Enoās impact on a wide range of muscians
- Aesopās Fables
- USB latency used to be suspect but is probably fine on a RPi4
- Zyncoder source code - here be dragons!
- How a spaceman makes noise
- Do coders add more insults if forced to go back and document their code?
- Python is in everything. I think I heard of a synth with it in.
- Multi-cloud is todayās buzzword (sounds like an episode of Sesame Street)
- Companies do the Okey-Cokey with services - outsource, insource, shake them all about
- Why do AWS think I owe them 69p?
- NowTV (UK streaming service run by Fox Corp) wonāt run unless it has contact with its advertising agency
- Jamulus can be good and can be a pita
- Is Jamkazamās business model fair? - do they have a sufficiently valuable service yet?
- What technologies and businesses will drive advances in Internet connectivity that live audio may benefit from?
- Elon Musk is a bit odd
- Coke heads at work are no fun for the rest of us
- What is news? What is the BBC? Where has all the trust gone?
- Do people cherrry-pick what they want to see / read / believe and position themseleves in echo chambers which reinforces existing opinion rather than informs and challenges? Facebook is not a source of news!!!
- Canals - again!
- @wyleu is moving - he shouldnāt have posted pictures of his house on the web for stalkers to find him - will the new castle have dungeons and battlements?
- Behringer audio interfaces and mixers are very affordable and can be pretty good
- Apple dropped the headphone jack and before that only provided USB on the iMac (this is not news - just reminiscence)
- A myriad of uses were described of using an iPad with Zynthian
- Viaducts are great! Especially ones with canals running over them
- There are programs on TV about men on canals
- Can we shine things onto buildings
We attempted a jamming session using Jamulus which was mostly a technical solution session. We did had four participants. I wrote some details in this thread but in summary we did get Zynthian directly connected to Jamulus but the whole experience (even using the desktop client) was painful and wouldnāt be much fun in a rehearsal session.

Monday evenning is definetly the worst moment in the week for me. Heavy days at work each mondays and tuesdays + kid at home monday evenningā¦
Iām funs of canalboating .-)
The reference came up relating to a viaduct but I thought I would tie it back in with a themeā¦ I did see footage of someone travelling in a dingy across a bridge in New South Wales due to extreme flooding.
To those nay-sayers who were dismissing the BBC for lack of interesting content last night, I was just recommended this by a colleague. Sorry - only avaliable to BBC licence fee payers in the UK but is the kind of programming that make me want to pay for the BBC.

When they get it right the results are frequently superb. A script is frequently a required characteristicā¦
Ahem. First shown over 40 years ago.
Anyone up for a mid-week socially distanced chat? Tuesday or Wednesday this week?

Rebel! Yes.
Can do, if the pub doesnāt find me first.
Any preference between Tuesday or Wednesday?
Iām busy on Wednesday eveningā¦
Okay, Zynthian Club House will open its doors at the earlier time of 18:30 UTC on Tuesday 13th April 2021. That is half past seven in the evening in the UK.
Nice one, I think Iāll be able to make it this time
Weāre on curfew atm so my hours are weird, but if the stars align, or our Zynths are tuned to resonant frequencies, or something else is otherwise on my side, I would absolutely love to be there.
I donāt know the protocol or secret password, but if someone whispers in my ear Iāll make sure Iāve figured out whatever is necessary to join, and do my best to make sure it happens.
