Done yesterday (20110716 Sa)

( raw notes )

Hmm. Another ok day. Lots of puttering, a mostly-successful shopping trip, and I made a tasty dinner. On the other hand, only one of the weekend's three planned carpentry projects got done, and that one (fixing the door on the upstairs bedroom) was only because Og did most of the work. Still...

On the gripping hand, I verified that the MicPort Pro works with Audacity on Barnard (the netbook), and that it will share its little black pouch with one of my C2's (though I'd really prefer a better mic for putting down tracks, and a portable mic stand is still very much an open question). And took the keyboard, stand, and bench up to the guest room from the living room. Since our next guests are likely to be the other 2/3 of Tempered Glass...

I looked at a Hercules folding music stand at Guitar Showcase, but even folded it looks too long (32") for my suitcase. So still looking. I really want a sturdy music stand, with a full-sized rectangular tray, because it turns out that Plink hangs very nicely from one.

Turns out that the Starving Musician will be moving, opening on August 8th in what used to be the Hummer dealership on Stevens Creek. Which is conveniently closer to home. Which might not be all that good a thing. But anyway...

It also turns out that there's a new law that just went into effect in California requiring CO detectors in houses that use gas for heating or cooking. And since the smoke detector downstairs recently died, I took advantage of the opportunity to get a combo unit.

So I'm going to rate the day as productive, even though I didn't take a walk or get everything done that I wanted to. As for whether it was good... *shrugs*. Kinda neutral.

Links, as usual.

Procrastinating? Um... is it ok if I start quitting tomorrow?
