I took on some additional work recently. Freelance coding for this undermanned website firm. It's different from my usual freelance work in that there's a small but regular series of paychecks, vs a single large and unpredictable one. The workload isn't killing me, but I do feel it.
All of my bosses and coworkers in this new job are telecommuting parents. Every one of their YM avatars features a young child. I don't know anything about their personal lives, but it seems like they have more free time on their hands than I do. So I have to scramble to work at the same pace, if that's possible at all.
I'm learning new things, so there's nothing to complain about, except having to wade through two or three different coding styles each time I edit code.

I've been looking for ways to make my recorded drum tracks a bit more lo-fi. I found some software that'll do the trick, and I'm trying to figure out if that's what I want. Whether I want just the drums lo-fi while everything else stays the same, or whether, I want the whole thing to sound like a 70s record (doubtful).
New toys are love.

Because I was hunting around for deliberately low-fidelity-sounding tracks, I dug up this song I hadn't intentionally listened to for years. More than a decade probably. It's Bad Brains' Sacred Love, from the I Against album. The vocals were recorded over the phone while the singer was calling from prison.
Also, I'd forgotten how good the Bad Brains were.

More later, I think. Must write some code.
