Hai, I'm Primm.
Bios are hard so I'll keep this short. I'm a nerdy girl who likes doing computery things and listening to music!
I hope you find my page interesting!!
My TMBG Related Projects[edit]
JH Hypercard HTML - The homepage for one of my websites that is heavily styled on the John Henry HyperCard stack. A modern recreation already exists, but I thought it would be nice to try to attempt it myself anyway. It also led me to working on John Henry Snippets, which was also great!
QCAM Recreation - This is a recreation of the QCAM service from tmbg.com. I spruced up the page so it works on a modern browser and it now has media controls and the option for the user to select which video they'd like to view.
Clock Radio Revival - I found the flash file for the Clock Radio and decided to take a look at what data the program was expecting. Despite having absolutely no flash knowledge, I thought it would then be easy enough to make my own server files and point the application towards it. In the end, I managed to fix a few bugs with the original app and get it running both in browser and desktop, playing most of the original songs that were part of the service. I think the program is especially nice for those who (like myself) never experienced the Clock Radio the first time around!
TMBG App Log - Until 2021, the They Might Be Giants (App) page held a log of all the previous songs that had been played on the app with its respective date. I'm a huge fan of the app and still listen to it regularly, and occasionally remember days by which songs were playing on the app. I ended up missing this list enough to decide to host a similar log on my website as just a simple text file which is updated daily. If there are gaps in the data, I apologise - breakdowns sometimes happen!
John Henry Snippets - The aforementioned John Henry Hypercard had the songs sequenced using a text file, which I decided to rewrite into a MIDI format. This website allows you to listen to MP3s of the whole album created from the MIDI files and using instruments that I found fitting, as well as download the MIDI files of all the tracks that don't contain vocal samples.
Custom Wiki Themes - As much as I love the current theme options on this wiki, I found myself only really using a single one. So I decided to add a new dash of paint to the others by styling them like TMBG album covers, using the additional CSS feature. So now I can have much more variety when wikiing! And by all means use some of these themes on your own account if you like the look of them!
Typeface Spreadsheet - I made a spreadsheet documenting the main typefaces used in the design of each TMBG studio album, as a way of learning how to identify fonts. If you notice an inaccuracy or have identified something which is missing, feel free to leave a comment on the sheet.
