Upgraded my mic for the at home setup and I wanted to balance out the EQ more so I wasn't flat across the band. I had GitHub Copilot evaluate some audio files and we iterated on it to get settings where I wanted them with my GoXLR Mini.

An operating system that can self-heal, all I want.

3D isometric tile map of the United States showing average elevation by state. Each state is represented as a rectangular bar, with bar height and color both encoding elevation — taller and darker green bars indicate higher elevation. Colorado and Wyoming are the tallest bars at 6,800 and 6,700 feet respectively, followed by Utah at 6,100 feet and Nevada at 5,500 feet, reflecting the Rocky Mountain region. Eastern and Gulf Coast states such as Florida, Louisiana, and Delaware have very short bars at 100, 100, and 60 feet respectively. States are arranged in approximate geographic positions. Data source: USGS via U.S. Census Bureau Statistical Abstract.

Ferry Tales Studio — Vega-Lite Chart Editor A browser-based Vega-Lite chart editor. Write JSON, preview live, no sign-in required.

I started creating a vega-lite builder to help me teach people how to create visuals in Deneb. I think there are some pretty nice features in it, so feel free to take a look and see if it could be useful to you, too.

"And yes, the Super Nintendo is my favourite console of all time."

I really want to know more about this next time we cross paths, I'm a NES person (simply, the neighbor had an SNES so that was a foreign luxury when we got to indulge) - and went right into Sega Genesis when Sonic dropped.

A promotional graphic for a “GitHub Copilot CLI for Beginners” course. At the top, a pixel‑style “COPILOT” logo appears next to a small robot‑like character. Below it, text invites users to “supercharge your development workflow with AI‑powered command‑line assistance.” The lower half shows eight chapters arranged in a grid, each with an icon and label: Install, Modes, Context, Workflows, Agents, Skills, MCP, and Complete. The design uses bright colors and simple illustrations to present a step‑by‑step learning path for using GitHub Copilot from the command line.

Bearer tokens, dataflows and Microsoft Fabric Recently I worked on a project using Microsoft Fabric where I needed to create a connection to an API that used Bearer tokens to access the data. In this post some of the challenges that I hit. General setup In Fabric I created the various workspaces, Lake houses and dataflows that I need to created the import from my API. Following the medallion approach I'm importing the data from my API into my Lakehouse database.

Fun read. I still remember our discussion last year - how much has changed in a short amount of time between input/output processes to autonomous systems.
