I noted REVEIL 24+1 hour daybreak broadcast a few weeks ago. I’ve now set up an account for Locus Sonus’s sound map. I tested the Locuscast app on my phone and it working. I’ve not up a stream page on soundtent yet, but there is time before 5:00am on the 5th of May.

Listened: Really Specific Stories – Michael Camilleri, I continue to really enjoy this podcast. A podcast about podcasting and podcast listening.
Wonderfully it discusses the culture of podcasting rather than the type of mic you need. Michael‘s episode was very interesting his views on podcasting and the web had me nodding a lot.
I grabbed this wee snippet when I arrived in the car park at school the other day using Castro’s ability to snip a bit from a podcast (I am presuming such a short extract, for review, breaks no copyright).
There is a lot more to listen too, the idea of blogging, podcasting and writing html as a something done by ordinary folk, and the idea that the openness of the format invite participation certainly rings true for me.
There is quite a lot of blogging about blogging, maybe we need more podcasting about listening to podcasts & podcasting.
Ben Watt (caughtbytheriver.net)This is about more than just removing a tyre from a riverbank, or a crisp packet from a hedgerow. We know now that global plastic waste will double by 2050. We need a paradigm shift in how we deal with it.
After bookmarking the Locus Sonus Stream Project the other day I saw a link to Soundcamp 2023 on Caught by the River. This lead to:
REVEIL 10 – Call | Announce

On Dawn Chorus Day, Reveil will make its tenth annual day-long loop of earth, travelling west on live audio feeds sent in by streamers around sunrise.
from: REVEIL 24+1 hour daybreak broadcast — Call | Announce
There seems to be several ways to join in, Raspberry Pis, computers and mobiles. Looks like icecast technology.
I would be quite interested in joining in. Dawn is around 5:30am in Glasgow on the 6th April.
Some of the locations on the Locus Sonus Stream Project make nice background noise, birds and burns from around the world.

Really proud of Christine @cmdjohnston who edit-produced an episode of this series.
Locus Sonus Stream Project offers a worldwide network of "open mikes" that permanently stream local soundscapes to a dedicated server. The resulting live audio is used in a large variety of artistic projects. The microphones are installed and maintained by volunteer participants.
Looks really interesting.
I’ve just transitioned to a mac mini. My 2016 MacBook pro was bulging horribly. Battery knackered. The keyboard was duff from the start. I don’t need a pro machine nor a portable one now so a mini seemed a good choice. Basic model but with 1TB disk & 16 mb ram.
Alan’s post LinkedUn – CogDogBlog, reminded me of this email.
Maha Bali (blog.mahabali.me)This ChatGPT thing, quite apart from all the other AI writing tools, is disturbingly addictive and… likeable? I had tried before with you.com/chat to make it say mean and biased things, but it wouldn’t. And this surprised me because if it trained on internet data, the internet is full of stuff like that, right? So…
An interesting experience with chatGPT.
Who trained you to be so sensitive and polite and politically correct?
I couldn’t be angry with it, because it was such a sweetheart about not giving me what I wanted.
