What's up? (January 2021)

Keyboard Playing has been calm for some months in 2020. It was however not forgotten. It’s alive again and some changes were made in the last weeks.

New Transformations for the Download Proxy

Last year, I posted about the v2.0 of the Download Proxy. At the time, the main event was the change of the technological stack and a restricted set of transformations. Today, I happily publish a version 2.1. Here are the main changes.

The Download Proxy's Back

A few years back, I had problems downloading files I needed in order to work. It’s not uncommon for developers to have higher access rights on their machine, but this almost never applies to the firewall. So, you may have the right to install all software you need and yet still be unable to download it without a two-day-long exchange with a security service located in another city. That’s annoying. And that’s when I came up with the Download Proxy.

What's up? (February 2020)

It’s been a while since I last posted an update about the website. Not my favorite kind of post, but you’ll see I’ve not been entirely idle.

Making the RSS Experience better on KP

Many people I know have abandonned RSS and Atom feeds and prefer to use social network to keep up-to-date. For those who haven’t, I know no system is perfect but I can think of at least one frequent irritation I don’t want to reproduce on this site.

Hello, World!

This website has been dormant for a few years, now—3.5 years, actually. Today, I wish to resuscitate it, and hopefully see it a bit more alive than in the past.

This first post is the occasion to introduce Keyboard Playing and what I hope it’ll become in the coming weeks. It may also explain why you haven’t found the post your search engine pointed you to.
