HANDS OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS!
Right now, Senate Republicans are trying to sneak language into Reconciliation that would sell off millions of acres of public lands.

It took most of the afternoon, but I have a working implementation of "adding a facet" in my music project.
It was so finicky because while twiddling the DB side is easy, I wanted to add an ID3 TCON tag to the file if no facets were defined (meaning no genre in the source)...

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Back to my semi-regular nerd shit: Discovered howler.js last night, and it solves 97% of the client side problem for my music project. Incredibly stoked about this.
Also can't believe that it's a high-quality, standalone, JS library, without 400MB of package manager overhead. Kudos to the team!

Interesting thing I learned about SQLite today: it does not consider providing a placeholder where one is not allowed to be an error -- at least sometimes.
I unthinkingly tried to parameterize an ORDER BY clause and was incredibly confused when I kept getting unordered data back.

Great progress on the catalog portion of the music project backend. Also learned a lot about JSON handling in SQLite, which is pretty important for one of the project's two major goals: applying faceted classification/cross-cutting concerns to a music library in place of a single genre tag

Haven't posted about it in a while, but I'm still (slowly) working on my music project. Getting close to having enough functionality built on the backend to end any dependency on 3rd party tools to manage my collection.
Then the rather more interesting bits start.

Work had me busy for a few days, but I'm returning to getting the ID3 tags sorted once and for all so I can carry on with the more interesting bits of this project. So much variance. Consider the following:

Files named `nn.Song_Title.mp3` and missing ID3 tags can be title tagged via:
`for trk in *mp3; do eyeD3 --title "$(basename ${trk} .mp3 | tr _ ' ' | cut -f2 -d'.')" ${trk}; done`
No, I'm not still normalizing tags, why do you ask?

The great music cleanup is completed; everything is now cleanly tagged with ID3v2.3/2.4 tags. I also used this as an excuse to throw out a bunch of onesy-twosey tracks downloaded back during the early days of digital music. Ahh, DLing random garbage just because I could, and I had the disk space?

Started coding on a new project tonight. It's a long way from doing the thing it's intended to do, but it's already making itself useful.
Turns out I have a lot of MP3s in my music collection which were tagged with obsolete versions of the ID3 spec. 'eyeD3 --to-v2.3' to the rescue for that issue.

Went to an intro wood shop class at my local #makerspace tonight. Had so much fun, and am legit excited because I can't remember the last time I learned so much new stuff in so little time.

Spent so much time coding this weekend, and it felt really good. It's been months (and months, like early last year) since I felt like spending time and attention on personal projects.
Tomorrow evening, something rather different: shop class.
