🎵 Goats, Tea and Trouble — New Song Out Now 🌙

Some stories arrive long before the music does. Goats, Tea and Trouble began as a slow-burning tale told under starlight—a dreamlike fable set on Africa’s western coast, where ancient spells, unruly goats, and firelit music blur the line between myth and memory.

This song is the echo of that story: a soundscape born from a nomad’s bonfire, a missing cloth, and the quiet resistance of people who still live by rhythms older than time. Before you listen, read the story that inspired it.

La Magia e la Storia dei Luoghi siamo Noi

A live performance of theatre, music and dance along a photographic exhibit where sixteen photographers showcased their themed visual short-stories through their images, lead by the professional photographer Pino Giannini. Each tale begun with a narration by Alessandra Arcieri, with her voice setting the rightful mood, moments before a musical comment by Yours Truly started to engulf the theatre hall, with compelling beats and expressive textures paying hommage to the visual identity. The blindfolded dancer Bruna Cerasa coreographed with her harmonic movements and sudden twitches, thrills and body postures, the physical rendition of the stories.

🎵 Didjeing outta dog

It was one of those summer mornings when time feels almost paused — a tranquil pocket of stillness nestled within the city’s otherwise relentless pulse. The grass was already warm with sun, and the air carried the scent of cut leaves and waking soil. Beneath the shade of a tall plane tree, a small group had gathered on mats, in silent reverence to breath and body. At the center stood a yoga teacher, her posture fluid, calm, unhurried — an embodiment of presence.

This fork introduces an additional web-dashboard driven by a sqlite database to keep track of temperature and humidity readings coming from a HDC1080 sensor. This dashboard is accessible by the main page of the camera preview bringing in some statistics of the collected data.

Data Logger for Electrical Power Measurements

Foreword

Measuring electrical power—whether consumed or supplied—over long durations can be essential for analyzing appliance behavior, validating designs, or performing reliability testing. Some measurement sessions may extend over hours or even days. In such scenarios, having a reliable software tool that can log data continuously, plot graphs, and export datasets becomes invaluable.

To support this need, I developed a utility named GPMLink, which interfaces with the GW-Instek GPM8310 power meter. The software uses a Telnet-based interface to communicate with the device and periodically queries it using SCPI commands to retrieve integrated power metrics.
