"With only my web browser open & VS Code running, my laptop slowed to a crawl",— you knacker, you've been running two instances of Google Chrome on the same machine! Poor thing! 😨
it's good to be back!
thanks to everyone today who helped to unblock me, yall know who you are ❤️
it's already been a month since I returned from #berlin with this project in tow. you know what they say, "go to berlin and build synths" is the new "escape into the forest"... it's difficult to focus without 🥬 tho :(
i'm gonna try to not let whole weeks pass without a commit on this anyway - after all, i burnt down most of my life so i can work on my projects in peace :-) ✌️
But now that both of my stereo amps got fried (on the same day!), I've assembled myself an audio system out of two cans of Pringles chips — which you can turn into Bluetooth speakers by attaching… well, a speaker to them — which act as tweeters and a bass combo amp acting as a subwoofer and all of this shite in ensemble is responsible for mids… I have to admit with a bit of tuning it started sounding more or less bearable, yet… it's still quite disgusting 😖
Using a dedicated large diameter speaker just for the low end is a bit novel to me: I've never owned these "surround" thingies, always preferring a decent stereo system instead. Except for when my audio equipment broke down and a colleague lend me some of his with a dedicated subwoofer — that that was long time ago and I didn't use it for long.
BTW, this is Cruzan, like the rum. He’s my youngest son’s cat. I just spent the morning re-hanging the curtains in my family room due to an unfortunate Cruzan mishap.
He remains a very good boy though.

Looks like playing the game of CoC🐔 didn't work so well with the 60-year olds for some reason still working on…
🤮 …I'm sorry… Perl!

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
