You Know My Life

Friday: code for work. Drive down to VA to get audio kit from 5dots and hit the DC 2600 meeting with Phil. Ran into some old timers, some (relatively) new regulars. Slow meeting, but some good conversation in there. Get home around 3am.

Saturday: tried to record the vocals to those lyrics I mentioned the other day. I didn’t hate my voice, and was actually fairly inspired melody-wise, but the USB audio interface I used had terrible distortion on it and the vocals were unusable. Also the room I was recording in had too much fan noise. Went back to the apartment and coded for work, making great wonderful leaps. Went out to Sonar, alone, to see DJ DB and had the first really good time at a dance night I’ve had in a long time, basically since I’ve had to dance alone. DB played his superb blend of jungle over an excellent two-hour set, never getting locked into one sub-genre or style, nor playing more than just the right anthems (was quite happy to hear that “by the power of Ra!” track, not to mention just a couple minutes of the “We Want Your Soul” remix). Left dripping sweat and very happy. Got home around 3am.

Sunday (today): woke up a little stiff from from the previous evening’s booty shaking. Burned a few extra Fedora Core 1 CDs, got some Atkins-friendly food to have for lunch later, and went over to the campus Engineering building for the UMBC Linux User Group semesterly Installfest. Spent over six hours handing many, many installs (30+?) on a variety of hardware. Fun, rewarding, but tiring. Had dinner at the local Double T diner with some campus friends who helped out at the Installfest. Talked geek, felt good. Expect to be in bed well before 3am.

Tomorrow (Monday): code for work all day until class in the evening. Very excited about this code. Also, sorting out nasty Apache problems, which I enjoy thoroughly.

It’s a life, and it’s a living.
