mdlbear | The Time it is a-Changing (Reply)

This morning, after getting up significantly later than usual (even factoring in the extra hour due to the time change), I finished up work on the Tres Gique concert at Consonance. This consisted mostly of fixes to scripts and makefiles; not surprisingly a couple of bugs showed up. There will be a little more hacking involved around cflute and tibicina's set, since I don't have distribution rights on the songs. That means I'll have to keep them out of the index, which in turn means I have to write an index.html file rather than relying on Apache's automatic one. Well, it's not particularly hard -- mostly cut-and-paste.

After that I went out for a four-mile walk. The weather has turned warm over the last week or so -- it's entirely possible that we've seen the last wet, cold week of the season.

As for album status, so far I've worked on four tracks today: "High Barratry", "Mushrooms", "Pigeon Flight", and "I Wanna be a Webmaster". "High Barratry" and "Mushrooms" were the only ones that involved more than tweaks. This leaves me with 7 tracks essentially done, 5 needing little more than editing, and 2 wanting new parts, and 4 wanting old parts rerecorded. I'll be taking a day off this week (having to take my car in for service makes a good excuse).

8 new preorders on paper, and 2 by PayPal since Consonance. The main task now is to set up a mailing list.

Spent a little while unpacking the last bits from Consonance -- I'd tossed my suitcase under the bed and collapsed in a heap after the con. Also boxed up the last of my old T-shirts and took three boxes up to the attic. Did I mention that I bought more banker's boxes? Office Max was having a 3-for-2 sale.
