We did a lot of house rearranging and cleaning, and also prepared for a performance tonight. A couple buddies from the town where we used to live will be joining us. It'll be at a bar we've been trying to help out with free music. Tonight they're having some kind of dinner event. Should be fun.
The work we did inside the house was so significant that the living room acoustics are noticeably different. Cray!
I also got back with the Roland FA-08 keyboard, which is quite the marvel. Too much, really. I get away from it for a few days and invariably wind up feeling I've forgotten everything about it. Thereupon, this morning, did I record a four measure basis for a new tune I'm tentatively calling "Wandering". My wife loves it, so it's passed the first test.
I was also still able to play most of "Martha My Dear" from muscle memory. It never fails to impress.
Oh, yay! Another great read from winter:
I so loved my 2400 bps modem. So loved lynx/pine/tin (although I'm pretty sure I went trn instead of tin). So loved ssh'ing into SDF. And etc.
I'm not going to blame companies anymore, though. Companies are just humans behaving beneath their potential taking advantage of humans behaving beneath their potential. Almighty Capitalism is powerless against decent people. Capitalism and the way the web turned out are exactly what the self-centric-ly greedy deserve. There's no mystery, here: the species shits on itself, pure and simple.
And on that note, *I* - not "the world" - am the dumbass that didn't take the time to correctly pour the coffee mentioned in
