Testing a Huginn workflow, snagging Hugo posts via RSS to post to Mastodon...

Before going into any practicing, etc. I might be doing, here’s the gear I have, starting with what I use most often: <!- more -> Main setup Ibanez 5-String Bass (signed by Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey) Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-108 1x8" 30W Bass Combo Amp Zoom B1X Four Bass Multi-Effects Processor Boss RC-1 Loop Station Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer Boss DR01S Rhythm Partner Other basses Rogue LX200BF Fretless Series III 4-String Bass Hartke 4 String Bass (needs work, not sure of the model) Some generic 4-string bass (first bass, action’s way too high but I didn’t know any better) An acoustic bass guitar Electric guitar SGR C-1 Electric Guitar (when I thought that’s what I was going to play) Line 6 Spider V 30 MkII 30W 1x8 Guitar Combo Amp Drums A decent Ludwig drum set (not so much for me to play, but for others if they want to jam)

Title: The Algebraist Author: Iain M. Banks Notes: Rereading (re-listening); for some reason, it only recently appeared as an option in Audible for me, though we had a CD audiobook of it years ago. An amazing story, it’s one that almost seems like it should be set in the Culture universe, but it’s not.

Planning: Brown Ale (extract) Oatmeal Stout (extract) with blueberries added in secondary
