I use DO for a lot of things as well, but lately have been playing around a lot with Amazon EC2 instances. The good thing about the EC2 instances is that, similar to the easy set-up boxes that DO does, Amazon has a bunch of apps and guides for quick deployment of systems for various purposes. I am looking at integrating some mobile platform stuff into some of my existing projects and the Amazon Web Services keep it all pretty well containerized.

Hahaha, if you want to get really good, you should play CTF (Capture the Flag) competitions. They are kinda of like jeopardy style competitions where the difficulty of the challenge corresponds to the number of points you receive for it. The challenges will be across a wide variety of areas, but almost always include exploitation and reverse engineering. A good beginner continuous (no end) CTF is http://overthewire.org/wargames/. Other than that, read a lot of http://reddit.com/r/netsec. Netsec always has good writeups on real vulnerabilities and exploits. Stuff like assembly take a long time to get good with and practice makes perfect. I know some guys who do malware analysis and they can take apart polymorphic code like a first grade reading assignment only because they look at it all day everyday.

The Roboctopus guides off of Noichan are clutch: http://www.noisechannel.org/category/protips/lsdj-you
Welcome to the community!

Wish I could go, but will be out of the area around that time... Haven't seen Boaconstructor play since the Noise Rodeo days.

I would be down for some stuff too. Haven't done too many live events outside of just smaller house parties, but you can't get any better if you don't put yourself out there, right.

Nullsleep is gonna be there, awesome. Definitely gonna show up now. Also, seems like there are a lot of Argentinians lately, wasn't 2 Games 1 Boy from Argentina as well? He had a good set, so looking forward to this show.

Hmmm... That is a very difficult thing to ask. I guess my best answer would be to just make music that comes naturally. I generally don't think too much about trying to create a very specific style. I don't think I am giving you a very good explanation, so I will use an analogy: music and people is like DNA and people. Every person will listen to music and interpret it in their own unique way and similarly each person will create their own unique music.

Even if you feel like you are only creating music that sounds like artist X or if people say your music sounds like artist Y, that can be a complement to both you and artist X or Y.

As for the CC you have gotten in the past, it is likely that people are commenting on how they don't feel your same emotion in the piece (usually the case). <- I don't really see it though.

I think you are on the right track, just don't try to force anything and all the pieces will fall into place.
