Summary
Man, it was a painfully-intense morning! I didn't manage to finish all of the coding for the monthly video until about 5 am (I was hoping to have it done at 1 or 2 ). Filming took longer than usual as I kept messing it up right near the end. By the time I got to recording the audio (which is the last step in my video production process), it was 10 am Hopefully that explains why my voice was like "rawrrrgghg I'm a zommmmbehhhh!"
I actually still haven't been to sleep, other than the 1-hour nap that I snuck in while the video was uploading to YT. So if you thought I sounded bad in the video...just imagine how I sound right now
I was a little surprised at how positive the overall reaction was to the video! People really seemed to like the ship improvements. I knew they were better but...seems like it made a really big difference to a lot of people. That's awesome!!! And I'm glad the early-morning coding for that little production demo excited a few people
My half-day off was pretty nice. I had big plans for it, as I always do...I wanted to dig into a bit of procedural music composition again and see if I could set up a basic framework...perhaps revisit some of the old techniques that I used to employ and see if my new programming experiences could help me push further than before. Sadly, as it always happens on this strange day of the month, I was entirely too exhausted to accomplish anything like that. Since my mind was mush, I decided to just go to the national park instead and lay on a rock in the middle of the river for a few hours. It was very soothing. I didn't even try to think about LT. Just a blank mind and the sky
Upon returning home, I fired up Star Trek Voyager. I only had 10 or so episodes left in the final season...so I wanted to see if perhaps I could close that chapter of my life tonight! But I didn't manage to get all the way through. I think I have about 4 left. I guess that's good, as I'm really not looking forward to being finished with it
And now, it's time for that glorious sleep that has been evading me for the past...however many hours (math are hard ).
Tomorrow I'll be on the road all day, as I'm heading home for a one-week visit with friends and family in Baton Rouge. I'll try to do some thinking in the car I'm also getting a Mac this week, so I'm hoping to knock out the Mac port sometime while I'm home!
