I do things in other places, too. Check 'em out.

⦾ famoe.ly

jam band fansite w/ song catalog and lots of data visualization

In 2026 I bought the famoe.ly domain so I could host a fan site for moe. with some stats/data/math tools I am working on. It's expanded to include a few additional tools I built along the way to validate the set lists and track length data I was normalizing and processing.

  • The Songbook - Adjustable "what were they playing and when" song catalog with data going back to 2020.
  • The Scorecard - I'm trying to predict upcoming sets based on years of historical data. It gets more accurate the closer we get to an upcoming show. I started it to build practice setlists for me to get familiar with their recent catalog. Now it's just fun.
  • The Tape Measure - Normalizing and validating data. Lots of visuals about average song lengths and relationships with other songs: common segues, frequent opener/closer status, sandwdichth plays (wrapping a song around another full song). I just think it's neat!

They're Neat

famoe.ly wouldn't be possible without the Internet Archive for hosting all of the source data, and the famoe.ly fandom for their decades of uploaded live recordings.

⦾ Python - bitmath

bitmath is a Python library for using file size units (GiB's, kB's, etc) as objects in code just like numbers.

If you do a lot of file size math, bitmath could save you quite a bit of time.

  • Converting between SI and NIST prefix units (kB to GiB)
  • Converting between units of the same type (SI to SI, or NIST to NIST)
  • Automatic human-readable prefix selection
  • Basic arithmetic operations (subtracting 42KiB from 50GiB)
  • Rich comparison operations (1024 Bytes == 1KiB)
  • bitwise operations (<<, >>, &, |, ^)
  • Reading a device's storage capacity (Linux/OS X support only)
  • argparse integration as a custom type
  • click integration as a custom parameter type
  • progressbar integration as a better file transfer speed widget
  • String parsing
  • Sorting

In addition to the conversion and math operations, bitmath provides human readable representations of values which are suitable for use in interactive shells as well as larger scripts and applications. The format produced for these representations is customizable via the functionality included in stdlibs string.format.

⦾ The Virtual Disk Guide

I wrote a book! It's free.

The Linux Sysadmin's Guide to Virtual Disks demonstrates the core concepts of virtual disk management. Real-world problems are covered in the book's "Cookbook" section. Other topics include: helper utilities, disk formats, troubleshooting tips, performance considerations, and comprehensive appendices.
