What time is it? Unstructured rambling time!
Just the current haps, yo.
My story at STANCE
Here’s the story I recited at the One More Light TDOR concerts with STANCE. Specifically this is the version I performed tonight (which is slightly different than Saturday’s rendition).
Random updates
I figure it’s been a little while since my last random-updates update thing, so here’s what’s going on in my life. Because I guess some folks like knowing this stuff? Weird. Anyway.
House updates and other miscellani
My new roof is finally getting installed. It sure is loud and poundy. Supposedly this is a two-day project so theoretically they are around halfway done. Unlike most home renovation stuff I can’t easily take photos showing the progress. Oh well.
Also after trying to work on some music in my newly-rearranged basement I was finding that having the computer desk in the center of the back “wall” with keyboard way off to the left looked cool but it made actually working on music a major drag, since I couldn’t just turn and start recording, I’d have to get up and take a few steps over, and that made my workflow really frustrating. So since I couldn’t work on music today anyway (because noise) I reoriented stuff to be a bit more like how it used to be, with the desk on the left and the keyboard to the right of it, and now it’s way more comfortable to work on things.
Find me on Printables
I used to use Makerbot’s Thingiverse as my 3D printing sharing platform of choice, but it’s gone way downhill over the last few years. However, Printables, run by Prusa (makers of a very popular 3D printer), is quite nice, and provides way more functionality and way less jank. I’ve been using it as my primary source of STL files for quite some time now, and I’ve stopped bothering with uploading to Thingiverse entirely at this point.
I’d love to see more people move over there. It’s a much nicer community with better sharing, remixing, and commentary, and it’s also way faster and more reliable than Thingiverse. What’s also really nice is if you already have a Thingiverse profile, they will automatically import all your stuff over, too!
Anyway, check out my profile there.
Taking a break from stuff
So yeah I’m deep in a pain flareup right now. I made sure that all of the critical bugs in bandcrash are, to my knowledge, fixed, but I just am not in a situation where I can really work on stuff right now due to a massive pain flareup.
I was just starting to work on some music for a game jam game and Novembeat but I don’t think that’s really in the cards for me this year.
And of course now that I’m in agony, suddenly a lot of folks want to interview me for engineering roles that I’d normally be very interested in, so, thanks for twisting the knife on that one.
At least choir is going pretty well and gives me stuff to look forward to.
New pricing strategy
After years of constantly lowering my prices, trying to get a vanishingly-small amount of sales on things I care about, I’ve decided to raise everything and make it uniform, across all of my music storefronts, namely:
Here’s my pricing strategy and rationale.
épuisé
Has it really only been three days since my last random updates post? It feels like longer.
Well, here’s some more random unstructured updates.
Blorgin'
I feel like I need to come up for air, after some protracted busy-ness (not to be confused with business, which I have none of at the moment).
Random blogging
Just a random undirected ramble.
