I don’t really have anywhere else to post my random essays right now, so I’ll just post as a thread here because why not.

I watched Sir Paul’s performance of Abbey Road medley for SNL 50 and it got me interested in “The End.” Why is it so great?

The Beatles were masters at subverting expectations.

When the cats want me to get up, they come and lay on me. Which is counterproductive because that’s what I want them to do otherwise and incentivizes me to not get up. We remain in endless standoff.

This video is like something I’ve wanted to make for YEARS and never quite made it happen so I’m jealous he made it first ha ha. Just incredible…astounding how anyone ever figured any of this out.

lol is out.

lsidc is in.

Laughing so I don’t cry.

Is it *really* that Chrome is a resource hog, or is it just that every website today is an inefficient JS dependency orgy? Little of both, probably, but my money is on the latter tipping the scale. Don’t even get me started on Electron.

Today will be my first large ensemble concert recording gig. I’ve been planning to do this for nearly five years now, and excited to finally have the opportunity. Now I just have to not mess it up or take too long setting up…I’m sure it will be a great learning experience at least!

It has been a week. And yet here I am awake early for an unscheduled symphony rehearsal on a weekend. I have another morning obligation tomorrow also. Six days until I start my vacation and can sleep in again.

Oof really bit off more than I can chew with this one. Finding time to learn zig this month, as a musician in December, is going to be a bigger challenge than I expected. I have two concerts to prepare for—and laundry—before learn heap allocation. Oh dear.

Built a new render server for my production side gig, but for now it is being repurposed as a zig build server for #adventofcode. Just finished building the compiler from source in the nick of time for December. Now I have, uh, five hours to learn zig before first challenge. Should be easy, right?

Long story, but needed to print a shipping label last night without normal printer. PDF was wrong size to print on label printer. Used ChatGPT for the first time on this: github.com/emanspeaks/P...
Started out good, but got it over the finish line by hand. Wrote 80% of code last night in 4 hours.

Hello, world!
