Another photo from yesterday. I’ve not seen many bright days this autumn, but yesterday was lovely.
We had a short walk and a picnic today. First bright day this week. Ardinning was autumnal. Saw what was probably the last dragonflies of the year.

The Rowan seem redder this year. Certainly more berries than usual.
Drummer
Scripting News: Sunday, October 10, 2021
Today is the 27th anniversary of this blog. To celebrate, I’m opening up Drummer to the world. I hope you love it as much as I do. ❤️
Drummer is, as you would imagine a really interesting project. A quite different approach to blogging.
I’ve been lightly beta testing Drummer since 4th September. This is my Drummer blog: John’s tambourine.
I would not like to presume I can understand Drummer well enough to give anything like a complete description. These are some of the features that have interested me so far.
- Drummer is an outliner, like Dave’s Little Outliner 2 and the Fargo system. You could use it for outlining in all sorts of ways.
- Drummer can created a blog from an outline at post at the push of a button.
- Drummer is a scripting system in an outliner.
Each of these elements give you a lot to think about. It has made me think about how I blog, and how I’d like to blog. It is an opinionated system. Coming from one of the internet elders you would expect no less.
If you are interested in blogging, microblogging and the like I’d recommend you have a look at Drummer. Certainly read: About Drummer
Had a short walk around a couple of hills in Glen Fruin yesterday with Christine & Michael. It has been about 8 weeks since I was on a hill and I got quite puffed on the up.

Host-read ads and rise of parasocial marketing
Podcasts flow naturally and pleasantly into a listener’s day to day, advertisements flow naturally and pleasantly in and out of podcasts, and persuasion ceases to register as persuasion, becoming instead a benevolent suggestion from a trusted friend, an invitation to a communal experience, an opportunity to affirm that you are loyal to the community, that you “get it,” that you belong. The danger of this is that ads, host-read or not, are profit-driven, and they deserve more skepticism than a friend’s words would warrant. Advertisements are not our friends — even if they seem to spoken by them.
the intimacy of audio is one of the affordances of podcasts. This is the cloud from that silver lining.
