Save and write Commodore tapes with TapeXUM (German Tutorial)
this is my tumblr page. I can do what the fuck I want. therefore, I'm going to list my favorite musical artists and my favorites from them. for no reason. but check them out maybe <3 BELOW CUT. BE PREPARED FOR A BIG WALL
Squarepusher: tracks Abacus 2, Beep Street, Ultravisitor, Detroit People Mover and My Red Hot Car (Girl) specifically but his entire catalogue is incredible Aphex Twin: all of his albums and EPs, including his unreleased and alter-ego stuff. favorites off the dome are Windowlicker, Come To Daddy (Pappy Mix), Bbydhyonchord, w32.deadcode.a, Stone in Focus and a ton of others I cannot list because it would be far too long
Datasette: Existeinzmaximum and People Without Mouths EPs and plenty of his other anthems of electronic. so underrated Clord: his only album is Secret Crystal Unknown Money, and I love it all the way through. fuck is it amazing, narrowly impossible to pick a favorite holy moly Autechre: tracks Bronchusevenmx, P.O.I.B Mix 2, Eggshell, Lowride, Montreal, Yulquen, and other gems from their discography come to mind. I specifically love Incunabula, the Garbage EP and Amber! Boards of Canada: one of the most impactful on this list, BoC is very special to me and I love their music very fondly. Echus, Roygbiv, Dawn Chorus, 1969, Sixtyniner, Buckie High and others come to mind <3 so much love to the brothers behind the BoC project Com Truise: a musical project by Seth Haley of whom is also behind Airliner and a couple others I think. I LOVE his stuff but I have a soft spot for In Decay and Iteration. he never and I mean never misses hrrhag
Windows96: pure, unfiltered, twilight vaporwave. it is absolutely amazing, and he spurred a lot of the vaporwave stream for a little while and still has his own community with his own subgenre (Twilight Synth) to it's name. my favorite album from his w/o a doubt One Hundred Mornings <3 HOME: ran by Randy Goffe, you probably know him for Resonance from his album Odyssey, which I LOVE. but I am more partial towards Resting State. it is a very nostalgic and special album to me that came to me at a dark time. I love it and the creator of the amazing tunes dearly. favorite track from Resting State is "12" btw :3 PilotRedSun: the creator of Grinch's Ultimatum and many other surreal flicks and tunes on the internet. he has an amazing album called Achievement that is a must-listen for any music fans I think, but he also has a fake-album that should be offical called Bootleg (a collection of tracks from across his discog) and many EPs under PilotRedSky. utter creative and musical gem 0xGRLF00D: a much smaller musical artist that has some amazing music that feels like a hybrid of AFX and PRS. specifically their album "gutworks" I love most. has NO bad tracks. absolute classic for me not gonna lie. I won't lie, I would become their friend in a heartbeat without a doubt if they had a tumblr or some shit DoorHead: this dude is like Squarepusher if he took fent and tripped out inside of a McDonalds inside of a cave system. I love his music, it is best described as "entering another plane of existence" by my friend John. you'll never see this, but I love you big man. you're family. anyways, favorite is definitely the Tunnel System Secrets EP u-Ziq: fucking. fuck yeah. I love his album Lunatic Harness, there is not too much to say but holy molay, this guy is like the pinnacle of drill n' bass for me excluding DoorHead. what a madman, seriously! Louis Cole: oh man, this is one groovy fucking guy right here. he is so tight its insane. I have a baseball cap of him that I wear basically every day. favorite tracks are probably Weird Part Of The Night and When You're Ugly. KNOWER: band including Louis Cole that has an unmatchable energy. their album KNOWER FOREVER is their pinnacle in my book but its so great all around rhajgkag im gonna SPAZ SO HARD OVER THIS SHIT there may be more I am forgetting, yes. but these are probably the most prolific and impactful on my life and how I make music as a whole. these are not just artists that I regularly listen to, they are both that and people that have directly inspired me most to begin making my own music and have irreversibly altered my sound design in how I do so. a deepest thank you to all of them, even if they'll never see this <3

25 Jahre Schreiblabor – Wie hat Technik mein Schreiben beeinflusst?
Die stärksten Veränderungen durch Technik liegen bei mir mehr als 25 Jahre zurück:
Ich habe 1960 mit dem Studium von Politikwissenschaft, Geschichte und Germanistik begonnen. Damals habe ich noch alles mit der Hand geschrieben und aus Büchern auf Karteikarten exzerpiert. Die Reinfassung der Arbeiten habe ich mit einer mechanischen Schreibmaschine getippt. Dafür habe ich mir das 10-Finger-System beigebracht. Tippfehler wurden mit Tipp-Ex korrigiert. Bis zu zehn Durchschläge waren möglich. (Ich habe noch einige Arbeiten aus dieser Zeit.)
Anfang der 70er Jahre bekam ich eine elektrische Schreibmaschine, mit der ich viel leichter und schneller tippen konnte. Weiterhin habe ich eine erste Fassung meiner Texte mit der Hand geschrieben und sie anschließend getippt. Wenn ich etwas am Text verändern wollte, habe ich die Seiten auseinandergeschnitten und Textpassagen eingeklebt. Die Rohfassung meiner Diss (1975) bestand aus langen Fahnen aneinander geklebter Passagen. Statt mit der Hand zu exzerpieren, konnte man nun aus Büchern Seiten kopieren. In Bibliotheken und Archiven bestand außerdem die Möglichkeit, Dokumente zu filmen, weshalb man ebenfalls weniger exzerpieren musste. Dies hatte Vor- und Nachteile: Man sparte enorm Zeit, machte sich das Kopierte aber längst nicht so intensiv zu eigen wie bei einem Exzerpt.
Die Belegexemplare meiner Diss habe ich mit Hilfe eines Kopierers produziert: die getippten Seiten verkleinert und so vervielfältigt, dass man sie zum Schluss in der Mitte durchschneiden und anschließend binden lassen konnte. Eine Denkaufgabe!
Wenn Texte vervielfältigt werden sollten, schrieb ich sie auf eine Wachsmatrize, von der Abzüge gemacht werden konnten.
Anfang der 80er Jahre ging ich dazu über, meine Texte zunächst in ein Diktiergerät zu sprechen und dann abzutippen. Das hat mir ganz wesentlich geholfen, meine Schreibhemmungen zu überwinden.
Mitte der 80er Jahre konnte ich einen Computer nutzen, um die Kursbescheinigungen für meine KollegiatInnen zu schreiben. Dafür schrieb mir mein Mann Werner Paarmann ein Computer-Programm auf eine Audio-Kassette. Die Texte schrieb ich auf einer Schreibmaschine, die an den Computer angeschlossen war. Der dazu gehörende Nadeldrucker konnte mehrere Durchschläge produzieren.
Bald hatte ich auch einen eigenen PC, der die Schreibmaschine ersetzte und ebenfalls an den Nadeldrucker angeschlossen werden konnte. Die Vorläufigkeit des Getippten, die Möglichkeit, jederzeit etwas zu verändern, zu verbessern, Textteile hin- und herzuschieben erleichterte mir die Textproduktion enorm. Während mir früher das Schreiben oft schwer fiel, macht es mir jetzt auch Spaß.
In den letzten 25 Jahren war für mich die E-Mail die wichtigste technische Neuerung. Sie ersetzt mir seither viele Briefe und Telefonate und beschleunigt viele Vorgänge. Allerdings wird mir die Erwartung, immer sogleich auf eingehende Nachrichten und Anfragen zu reagieren, oft auch zur Plage.

My Commodore PET 2001-32N doesn’t have terrible video any more!
I replaced the three smaller transistors and two larger transistors in the vertical deflection circuit, along with the two remaining common(ish) electrolytic capacitors. The large 4700μF/25V power supply smoothing capacitor took forever to extract. The video is linear now! Looks exactly as it should, after I adjusted the controls a bit. I guess this now qualifies me as an authorized Commodore monitor repairman? Maybe?
After that, I decided to test the datasette port once again. It wouldn’t spin the drive motors correctly, so I opened the case, and connected to the second internal cassette port. Sure enough, it correctly played and rewound. Then I noticed how tarnished the rear connector was. A bit of isopropyl alcohol later, and the connector was shiny again. My datasette now correctly works on that port, and a save/load test onto tape confirms its functionality.
Now all that’s left is to exercise or clean the keyboard, and this machine will be at 100% functionality.
