‘aight, blah

Posted on by

spent the weekend in winston-salem visting friends. Delivered
the korg ms2000 to it’s new owners.

Caught three shows in two days.

First up was The Finks at The Seed Gallery. Interesting show. They set up inside
an “installation” at the gallery and played, with a couple of dv cameras hooked
to lcd projectors in the courtyard.

Also caught Baby Skaker & Penny Royalty
at the garage. And then on saturday, neidermeyer
and The Evoka Project, also at
The Garage. Mostly typical
rock stuff, nothing too overwhelming.

Looks like they have a handful of interesting shows lined up at
ps211 that I think I might have to make it back into town to check out.

Didn’t look at a computer all weekend.

…and one more small errata for python-popt to fix an
dep error introduced into the recent rpm errata.

The amount of pain that silly little commandline parsing
stuff has caused me is great. why oh why did I
just not stick to getopt…

Escape From the planet of up2date errata…

the new new up2date errata…

aieee. Knock on wood. Cross fingers. Swing a dead rabbit
over your head. Throw salt over your shoulder at a dead horse.
Button down and roll up the sleeves. Damn the yankee torpedoes.

grumble, logn day, grumble. And all my fault too. Awesome.

At least when I was home UPS showed up with the korg ms2000
I bought off ebay two months ago. About friggin time. It’s not
really for me, was just in a position to buy it for a friend.

But I managed to waste an hour of barely awake time fiddling
with it. Fun. Very mad scientist.

names?

I’ve been thinking about trying to do some sort of
noise/experimental/improv/ambient/glitch/weird/annoying/etc
project just for kicks, and as an reason to do
something not involving computers (much)

So in my head, I’ve kind of decided that if
I come up with a interesting enough name I might
actually try to record some crap and pretend
I’m a muscian. Maybe even see if there are
any “weird music nights” in the area that would
indulge me to try it live.

I’m not really much for just starting these kind of
things, so the name theory is just kind of a hedge
to doing it at all. Trust me, in my brain, that makes
sense for some reason.

So far my favorite name is “Macalister Drywall”.
I’m not sure why. Other possibilities include
“engine factory” . I’ve kind of gotten out
of my teenage metal phase where everything
had to be named after a demon or a medical
condition. Though, “Gaping Thoracic Wound”
still appeals to me for some reason ;-> . “Rocket
Surgeon” was another idea, but it seems to be taken.

Perhaps I can find a way to use my favorite mixed
metaphor ever “Dont change dead horses in mid stream”.
Or perhaps put the subdivision name generator
to work. Would you go see “Country Hollows” or
“Pine River Meadows ”

I seem to be rather verbose today…
