This piece of software has been my goto on transcribing music for all of the instruments I play for the past 25 years. I can't recommend it enough. It has been pivotal in me being …

Where am I?

Also Accelerando by Charles Stross Fantastic book!

I've used ncdu for years. Great utility! I'm sorry he is gone. How did he die? He doesn't look too old from his website, https://dev.yorhel.nl .

It does not have ads. They will put up a notification 2 or 3 times a year for global non paid bird events. The GPS location is used by the model to narrow search results.

I'm also a regular user. Q1: To my knowledge for the merlin app, no. Just local storage to your phone as a WAV file. Q2: If you've started down the path of using Merlin, there is a…

I've also used an early version of the twiddler. It is a very nice keyboard with mouse integration. It seems they have upgraded the product. https://www.mytwiddler.com/

I always do a double take when I see the term QuckSilver[2].... the dBase III compiler from the 80s. [2] https://winworldpc.com/product/quicksilver/1x
