Weather: ugh, would people stop talking about how -20 F is some
sort of one-in-a-generation cold event? In my day, I'd walk
from Potsdam to Clarkson every evening for a week and see that bank
thermometer never break into the single digits below zero.
Skiing is good in some places, crummy in others. Boyce Hill I think
is starting to get real popular, ran into a couple groups headed that
way from Ward Hill. Good tracks in that area, unlike Meadow Road
which was destroyed by boot tracks.
Continuing to explore the fediverse a bit. Signed up for a pixelfed
account[1], though I only put one image on it. Read an interesting
website[2] with several keen ideas, one of which introduced me to
jabber, which seems to answer a question I had of finding a service
that is not SMS for chat/quick messages. Signed up for an SDF
account[3], now just need to sit back and wait for all the chats
to come in. Either that or start evangalizing alternative means of
communications on facebook and see who I can drag along.
Picking up Orca bit by bit, made a patch (code? what's the right
term here?) with all the scales arranged in a circle of fifths,
seems like an interesting way to play with those relationships
and learn about coding at the same time. The midi implemenation
is spot-on, plugged my CP reface keyboard into it and it just
worked. Fun times when able to modulate based on the pedal sustain
and tweaking the dials for delay, chorus, tremolo, reverb and drive.
Man, those 100 rabbits[4] make good tools.
