  1. When developing your own Ruby gem, at some point you might need to make some of the parameters configurable.
    The most idiomatic and elegant way to achieve this in Ruby is global configuration using a block.
    In my opinion, this approach is so simple that you likely won't need any third-party gems for it.
    However, there are a few important caveats to keep in mind.

  2. 🚀🎩 Presenting the latest in pointless tech fads: a "statically typed" build system that promises to be the Swiss Army knife 🛠️ of tools, but is really just a spork 🤦‍♂️. Inspired by Google GN, this #GitHub #gem is here to save developers from the horrors of existing solutions... by offering a solution no one asked for. 😂

  4. I wrote a longer piece for the end of the performance. I wanted to write something much more rhythmical and I use one of the very good good drumkits of the #GEM S2. Of course, the orchestral instruments are played by the #Proteus2. What is played by the saxophone in this version was originally sung by a friend who had a beautiful voice and backed by myself one octave lower. #MIDI #1997 #oldmusic

  6. I found this little converter utility from the old #Cakewalk .wrk files to standard MIDI files .mid. I could retrieve my compositions dating back from 1996-1998 and import them in Logic Pro 😍 I still have the MIDI rig I had a the time (#Proteus/2 and #GEM #S2), so I only have to tweak some details to get results that are quite similar to what I listened back then. Kudos to the author of this little open source gem, that worked flawlessly for me: wrk2mid.sourceforge.io

  11. I brought the #GEM #S2 to an birthday party of a dear friend and there were many other musicians and instruments. It was a very pleasing afternoon and we jammed together for a few hours. The S2 worked flawlessly 😍

  15. Imagine if in 1980 IBM had partnered with Digital Research instead of Microsoft.

    Gary Kildall might become the era’s Bill Gates, CP/M could emerge as the PC standard with “CP/M Compatible” badges replacing “Windows Compatible.”

    GEM might be the default GUI, Gates is a typical software vendor and Microsoft Office never rules business. Would computing culture change or mostly end up the same?

  17. Of course no project would be complete without a little bodge. I made a small mistake in the Ramdisk circuit. Not a big deal, but I had to add a bodge resistor 😅 I also put the NiMh battery pack in a safe place #Turbokit #Gem #S2 #elecronics #synth
