It's cute how fast #baby #communists in the #West went from freeing #Palestine and making racial #slurs about #Ukrainians to supporting the #Chinese regime and denying the #TiananmenSquare #massacre.
And all because of freaking #TikTok.

Shadowed Memories concentrated on a big horror author, Klive Emmons. While a mysterious doctor pulled up memories that had been long forgotten, or hidden away, his grip on reality was shaken. Horrors that he believed to only exist in nightmares began to haunt him, while the path to freeing himself from the pursuing invaders of his life seemed out of reach. In the end he finds an inner strength he didn’t know was there and manages to overcome the ordeal with some help, although his survival is not without tragedy.

Blog Question Challenge: Technology Edition
It’s my turn to do the blog question challenge, technology edition! I’ve been tagged by James.
When Did You First Get Interested in Technology?
You have to understand that I consider “technology” as something “more than electricity, binary code, recording, or the Internet. It is the long pattern of humankind observing our surroundings and finding ways to adapt them…” — check out the whole textbook I wrote on this subject! 😁 Honestly, as a history nerd, I love exploring how humanity has adapted and reconceptualized our surroundings in all sorts of ways throughout the eons of our existence…
For me right now, these are the two answers that come to mind:
- I first started learning to read sheet music (a communication technology that’s been around in some fashion since at least the ancient Sumerians 4,000 years ago; or, in our more familiar western form starting in the late 1300s) when I was in third or fourth grade. My music reading was of course strengthened throughout my time singing in choirs starting in fourth grade, picking up my first violin in fifth grade and continuing to play to this day, teaching myself to play piano since I was a kid (whenever I came across one like at my grandparents’ house), playing handbells in church during my teen years… I wouldn’t trade this technology of music notation for anything; it’s been invaluable to me my whole life in helping me understand the nature of sound, acoustics, intervals, how different cultures interpret those sounds through their styles of notation, and how all of this intertwines…
- At the same time, my first video game console was a Commodore VIC-20 — I LOVED this machine and all the game cartridges I grew up playing on it!!! I must have started playing with it when I was maybe 6 years old… We plugged it into our family television in the living room and used a joystick from the Magnavox Odyssey 2. I can’t tell you the nostalgia I have when recalling the feeling of this in my hands! Some of my most favorite games included the text adventures of Scott Adams, Moon Patrol, Pole Position, Rat Hotel, and soooo many more!
What’s Your Favorite Piece of Technology All-Time?
I can’t choose just one, seriously…but here are my top two…
- Notation Software: Right now I’m using Dorico, and I LOVE it!! Best software for this purpose I’ve ever used, for sure! But, regardless of the evolving brands over the years, I started out writing my original music by hand, with pencil and paper, when I was 13. Being given my first notation software some years later (a pirated copy of Finale, haha) seriously changed everything! With this tech, I can copy/paste notations, hear a MIDI rendition of what I’m working on and make changes when needed, create professional looking sheet music that can not only be used by musicians but also sold online (believe me, printed music is ALWAYS preferable to handwritten parts…)… There’s just no comparison–but I will say that first learning your craft by hand is an extremely valuable experience that makes you just really appreciate the advanced tech even more.
- The ability to share music in various physical/digital storage formats: from vinyl to cassettes to CDs to mp3s and other file formats… I won’t say “streaming” however; while it is an impressive and [arguably] inevitable outgrowth of the Internet and the file-sharing craze of the ’90s, I truly believe we can do better for our artists and their fans than what we currently have with this streaming economy. BUT, the ability to store and shape and share music on various mediums is astounding! I’m one of those artists that would prefer to hone and craft and record my work in order to share it around, rather than play it live and have it disappear… So the fact that I can do that, is just thrilling for me!
What’s Your Favorite Piece Of Technology Right Now?
In no particular order…
The mid-century mechanical pegs on my acoustic violin: So my violin is more than 100 years old, but at some point in the mid-1900s, some previous owner had swapped out the normal friction pegs for mechanical pegs (they could have originally been banjo or mandolin pegs…?). I have to carry a screwdriver in my violin case for the rare occasion if a screw loosens and therefore a string starts falling flat, but otherwise these work fantastically well! My strings generally stay in tune even in adverse weather; plus the appearance gives my fiddle a really unique character! 🙂
My music recording set-up: My DAW (Logic Pro), my notation software (Dorico), my microphones, my audio interface (EVO 8), even a way cool iPad app called Audio Kit Synth One that creates fabulous digital synth presets… everything I need to make my music come to life and be able to be shared far and wide!
My 6-string electric violin: What else can I say–I adore her! She’s a Dragonfly model from the Electric Violin Lutherie in New York. The sixth string allows me to play almost to the bottom of a cello’s range… 🙂 You can hear a fabulous example of what she’s capable of on this EP…
Name One New Cool Piece Of Technology We’ll Have in 25 Years!
I mentioned this a bit earlier in this post, but I’m really hoping we find a better system for sharing music that is more freeing for both artists and listeners, where we all can enjoy and share various kinds of niche art for art’s sake, without needing to cater to the billionaire mega-corporations that have always held sway over what gets heard and what is even allowed to make any kind of money (e.g., Spotify’s decision not to pay any track that gets less than 1,000 streams in a year, which affects over half the songs on the platform). Maybe we’ll find an answer in adapted blockchain tech?… Maybe we’ll go back to favoring the collection of physical media? Maybe something blending the two ideas…? I don’t know… But that’s my hope.
Final Thoughts…
I am always and forever blown away that some of humanity’s biggest technological inventions came at first to enhance our ability to make music and art [take the wind-wheel for example: it was first put to use by Heron of Alexandria to power his own hydraulis–which, originally created in the 3rd century BCE by Ctesibius of Alexandria, was the world’s first keyboard instrument and the direct ancestor of the pipe organ; and the world’s first programmable machine was a “robotic flute player” invented by the Banu Musa Brothers in Baghdad in the 9th century (CE).]!!
Get this: The earliest evidence for textiles and sewing needles dates back to 30,000 and 61,000 years ago respectively. The oldest bone flute discovered dates back to at least 60,000-40,000 years ago, depending on who you ask. Basically music-making with complex instruments is at least as old as the beginning of making clothes. 😉

Reading Time: 4 minutes
One of the easiest things to do is to buy a hard drive, and over a period of time fill it, and then get another drive, and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth. People will go from a small drive, to a larger drive, and a larger drive after that and backup plenty of the files across three to five drives. The result is that you have terabytes of storage, and some files are “backed up” on every drive, whereas others are precariously stored on just one drive. The result is that if you do want to consolidate that data to a single volume you need a larger and larger drive.
Over the years I have worked as a Media Asset Manager and I have a technique for finding duplicates, and freeing HD space, whilst at the same time ensuring that data is still backed up to at least two volumes. if Not more. As I deal with video I do this by organising every project by year-month-day-country-subject-individual where “individual” is the person working on that project.
Consolidate Media Assets onto a Single Volume
The idea is that as you copy files and folders from a collection of external hard drives you consolidate everything onto a NAS or other form of storage server. If the date is not provided I use the file names and project title and related information to situate it in with time.
Iterate
At first the process is easy, because every project and set of files are unique. The beauty of the year-month-day folder structure is that as you progress you spot that two or three folders have the same name, and that’s when you go and check file dates to see which is the most recent.
Fine tuning
One nuance is that if a file is named final final, and another is named I hope this is the final, and a third is named final final final final, then you change the name. Each file is renamed according to it’s creation date. This allows you to see within seconds which file was last exported, for example, and helps order chaos.
Backing up the Consolidated Files
In an ideal world you would have as many terabytes or petabytes of storage for the NAS but this isn’t always possible. What I did instead was to consolidate the data from the smaller external drives onto the central storage and then store them, as they were, as a backup in case the NAS fails. This isn’t ideal but it’s a good compromise when budget is limited.
Imagine that you have three or four one terabyte drives and they’re all getting full. If you have a two or three terabyte file you may be able to backup one or two drives, but run out of space for the two others. The solution is to get a four or five terabyte hard disk. With this you can dump the four smaller drives, and then start sorting projects and media assets by year-month-day but also by project name. With this work flow you can identify duplicates with ease.
Reducing the Number of Drives Plugged In
The aim of dumping drive A, B, C and D to drive E is that you get rid of the need to have four drives plugged in at once. You can have a projects folder for 2024. Each drive is in its own folder. You open two finder windows and then you can start organising your projects by year-month-day-project-name. You move the folder for the project from the Drive A folder to the year folder. When you finish bringing in drive A you repeat the process with drive B, Drive C and Drive D. When you spot duplicates you delete the duplicate files.
Removing Duplicatew
As you progress you go from having four terabytes of files to having three terabyte, down to two and a half, and so on. As duplicates are eliminated you regain that space so your four terabyte drive is not filled instantly. Ideally you would have the four terabyte drive mirrored on another four terabyte drive. If space is tight then you can re-use the small drives. 2024 can then be split across two or three drives. Now you have a primary storage solution, and several secondary drives. If the four terabyte drive fails you either fail over to the clone, or you fail over to the re-used smaller capacity drives.
If the four terabyte volume fails then you get a new four terabyte drive, and copy the data from the four backup drives and within a short amount of time you have recovered.
Shifting to Exfat
For a long time I was using MacOS so I had drives that were formatted with APFS or the Journaled versions. As I shifted from MacOS to Windows and Linux I found the need to have drives that could be read by all three systems. By consolidating media I gave myself the room I needed to backup a drive from one volume to another, convert it to exfat, and then move data back.
If the windows machine fails, or the Linux machine fails, or the Windows machine fails, then I do not want to have to replace that machine, just because of a file system. By having Exfat I have the freedom to slide from machine to machine, with fluidity.
And Finally
It can be overwhelming to see that you have ten to twenty hard drives that may contain duplicates. By getting a larger drive you can go from having a dozen drives, and a dozen places where things are stored to having a single place where everything is centralised. Once everything is centralised you can order files in folders that are organised by year, and then by year-month-day. In so doing you don’t need to know what you’re archiving intimately. You just need to be able to organise things by year-month-day.
I know that I repeat this point a lot but there is a reason. If you know when something was photographed, filmed or worked on then you can find files within seconds, rather than hours, and without the CMS, should the CMS fail. The other reason is that a project might have two or three names, depending on who worked on the project. If it’s organised well, then going upstream is easier.
This should be an itterative process. Start by the task that is easiest, and then itterate and fine tune the files and folders until everything is well organised, duplicates are detected and consolidated, or deleted, dependant on context. If you do this well then it can be relaxing.
I’ve been consolidating files and data to free up drives to experiment with Immich, PhotoPrism and Nextcloud in parallel.

Reading Time: 4 minutes
One of the easiest things to do is to buy a hard drive, and over a period of time fill it, and then get another drive, and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth. People will go from a small drive, to a larger drive, and a larger drive after that and backup plenty of the files across three to five drives. The result is that you have terabytes of storage, and some files are “backed up” on every drive, whereas others are precariously stored on just one drive. The result is that if you do want to consolidate that data to a single volume you need a larger and larger drive.
Over the years I have worked as a Media Asset Manager and I have a technique for finding duplicates, and freeing HD space, whilst at the same time ensuring that data is still backed up to at least two volumes. if Not more. As I deal with video I do this by organising every project by year-month-day-country-subject-individual where “individual” is the person working on that project.
Consolidate Media Assets onto a Single Volume
The idea is that as you copy files and folders from a collection of external hard drives you consolidate everything onto a NAS or other form of storage server. If the date is not provided I use the file names and project title and related information to situate it in with time.
Iterate
At first the process is easy, because every project and set of files are unique. The beauty of the year-month-day folder structure is that as you progress you spot that two or three folders have the same name, and that’s when you go and check file dates to see which is the most recent.
Fine tuning
One nuance is that if a file is named final final, and another is named I hope this is the final, and a third is named final final final final, then you change the name. Each file is renamed according to it’s creation date. This allows you to see within seconds which file was last exported, for example, and helps order chaos.
Backing up the Consolidated Files
In an ideal world you would have as many terabytes or petabytes of storage for the NAS but this isn’t always possible. What I did instead was to consolidate the data from the smaller external drives onto the central storage and then store them, as they were, as a backup in case the NAS fails. This isn’t ideal but it’s a good compromise when budget is limited.
Imagine that you have three or four one terabyte drives and they’re all getting full. If you have a two or three terabyte file you may be able to backup one or two drives, but run out of space for the two others. The solution is to get a four or five terabyte hard disk. With this you can dump the four smaller drives, and then start sorting projects and media assets by year-month-day but also by project name. With this work flow you can identify duplicates with ease.
Reducing the Number of Drives Plugged In
The aim of dumping drive A, B, C and D to drive E is that you get rid of the need to have four drives plugged in at once. You can have a projects folder for 2024. Each drive is in its own folder.
