2003 Blackout

I suspect that the band I heard in the part was here for the 20 year anniversary of the 2003 blackout, since there is usually a gathering in the part related to that, every year. There are quite a lot of people down there, tonight.

I still [...]

New speakers: Creative T60

Stopped off at a few places, on the way home, to see what was available. After checking various reviews, and various other decision-making inputs, I ended up heading back out to pick up a set of Creative T60 units.

These are way smaller and [...]

Problem with the speakers

The problem seems to have something to do with the speaker internals. I think it is related to heat, as it doesn't happen immediately if I haven't had the speakers on for a while, but I can't be sure. I could try running them through my UPS, in [...]

Speakers suddenly breaking

The speaker system attached to my main computer started acting up on Saturday afternoon. It seems to crackle loudly (seemingly on the right channel) and then the speakers turn off.

At first, I thought I correlated this to a software issue but that [...]

Probably exposure

I think part of the problem is that I am constantly being exposed to ideas or situations which make me feel powerless, worthless, and unwanted.

This is mostly related to not having anything interesting to do. I used to get a lot of sense of value [...]

Meta-Lameness

When I sit back and look at how disconnected I feel and what I wish I could find in more of my day-to-day life, I suspect that I must come across as quite the whiny bitch.

I worry that I am a bad friend and partner, useless employee, and generally [...]

Oddly down, today

Luckily not hungover, today, just lethargic. Still, been feeling a strange sort of unnameable unhappiness, all day.

I think it is the feeling of just not being engaged with the world.

Not sure what I will do through tonight but might end up [...]

Exiting the gate

I pass through the gate and enter into the new realm, goblet still in hand.

It is odd to suddenly feel this wave of peace wash over me. This place is not like the previous, yet somehow similar.

I am finally ready to live here, in the place I [...]

Ah, now I see this!

Not sure if I didn't see this before or just didn't remember, for some reason.

I like it. This album-like approach to building the video worked well, too.

At some point we should also talk a bit about how to make an actual photo album into a [...]

I tried to explain Cacophony to someone I have known for a while, this past weekend. Her first response was, "So, how do you control what people say on this system?"

I find this more than slightly horrifying that some people are so quick to take [...]

Seems to be working

It looks right on my end. Some thought will have to be put into making this use-case a bit more elegant in 4.1, I think.

So tired

Not sure why, but I have been very tired, all day. I am not sure if it is the heat, getting a lot of sun in the past few days, just a generally poor mood, or something else.

Whatever it is, I hope I am feeling better for tomorrow since I need to [...]

Always a nice-looking kitty!

This is a post made to reply to your picture of Korey using the new 4.0 pre-release 0.

Since you are on version 3.1, you should be able to see this post in my feed, but it won't show you that it is a reply.

Promising work on v2 Cacophony on-IPFS data model

I managed to find a way to make the single post "extension" handled as an inline piece of data, instead of pushing it out of line. The solution ended up being elegant, not breaking the XSD in any way.
The approach works very nicely if the extension [...]

Hello World!

I decided to create this new channel for less technical thoughts and also to test out the multi-channel UI, etc.

No big things to post yet but I will do more with this in the future,
Jeff.
