That's pretty much what I'v been making the past few years. On YouTube: "Tdis - Topic", if you haven't listened to me before.
The Vineyard is almost all piano. The others are more soundtracky/ambientish.

I have listened to Tdis recently.
I didn't know it was yours.
Good stuff! 
You now have one subscriber

Cool. Thanks.

By the way, you should put that stuff on Bandcamp, it has lots of ambient music and in your niche Bandcamp may be better promotion than YouTube

thedoorintosummer.bandcamp.com
I think that's the URL. I'm still more or less internetless...waiting on Telekom to get its head out of its exhaust pipe.
Bandcamp is not as up-to-date as YouTube (the stuff on YouTube was automatically put there by DistoKid when I published to SoundCloud, iTunes, Deezer, Amazon, etc.)

Not exactly my cup of tea, but it did remind me of some music that a guy I used to work with recorded vocals for. No singing, just spoken words. He's a big guy with a deep voice; DJs love him for the fact that they don't have to reprocess his recordings to take it down an octave, so he's actually turned that into a bit of a sideline. He's basically given a few written sentences and has to read them out in various styles. For a few hundred bucks. Not bad. Then the DJs mix that in with whatever they're working on.
[Edit]
Found it. They call it hardstyle. My ex-coworker goes by the name of Tekgnosis, so if you find something on Youtube with that name, that's probably him.
Disclaimer: While his vocals are interesting...the "music" is way too bouncy and repetitive for me.

Hardstyle is pretty popular in the Netherlands!
We had Thunderdome in the 90's (and I think they only recently quit).
Apparently they started back up in 2017: Thunderdome (music festival) - Wikipedia[^]
Hardstyle - Wikipedia[^] is a Dutch electronic dance genre mixing influences from techno and hardcore.
Reading that I guess Thunderdome is not quite hardstyle, but gabber and hardcore techno while hardstyle has influences of techno and hardcore...
Patato potato, right? 
Anyway, his voice sounds very familiar!

According to what he was told (by actual DJs), he's got the sort of voice that DJs want for voiceovers, but they always end up recording some random guy but have to reprocess the audio to get the pitch lower - which tends to make it sound bad. But my buddy's already got this deep voice, so he can record exactly what they want without any further tweaking.
I remember his girlfriend saying she loves to rest her head on his chest and listen to him talk. I...have not had that experience; I'm happy just to take her word for it.

Not a fan of hardstyle either, because of the repetitiveness. But this not so kid sister safe song makes me smile and bang my head every time I play it. Warnng: F-bombs: TECHNOBOY 'Catfight'

Cool stuff.
Somehow reminded me of Air, specifically Sonic Armada[^].

I like the Pickle Rick and Not Quite My Tempo (great movie!) ones too!

Here's the endpoint:
someapi.com/image/someImageID?xy=1
Think about it.
(Besides the WTF experience of using a flag parameter to indicate the endpoint is returning the dimensions rather than the image)

I tried to browse to that endpoint and expected to see something 
someapi.com is not for sale yet
Given that endpoint, I'd expect some image on a single pixel.
The back-end could transform the image to a 1x1 image and save some bandwidth.
I'd also expect x and y as separate parameters for rectangles.
For example: someapi.com/image/someImageID?x=100&y=150
Probably because I was thinking of Placeholder.com[^]
That endpoint looks pretty much the same: https://via.placeholder.com/150[^] (which returns a 150x150 image/grey block)
Or: https://via.placeholder.com/468x60?text=Pretty+cool[^]
I use it for mockups.

I thought about it, but I don't get your point (haha "point").
What is wrong with the format?
Personally I would probably use different methods, for example:
someapi.com/image/someImageID
someapi.com/imageinfo/someImageID
Purely on the basis that the return types are going to be different. But it's not like it really matters... does it?

I think Marc is talking about the WebAPI conforming to better naming conventions that follow like the example of ASP.NET MVC routing:
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}"
And he is saying that because it would be far more intuitive to discover how to get the dimensions of the image.
someapi.com/api/Images/Get/15
someapi.com/api/Images/GetDimensions/15

I refuse to post a link to JIRA, but not everyone may have heard about https://monday.com/[^]
Anyone use it? Personally, my view is, a wall with post-its would be better than JIRA, so I'm looking forward to the company making a change to something, anything, that isn't JIRA.
Yes, I'm opinionated about JIRA.

I looked into monday.com but found it did not have a few features I needed. I wish I could remember what those features were now. 
So no, I never did use it beyond the 7 day free trial.
Still haven't found a different option but we're small enough that spreadsheets are still working fine.

Management has decided we should switch to JIRA, looking forward to using it ...
