我很丟臉。我沒有吃 Fruity Oaty Bar。
Word!
Best news in a long time: babble's hard drive (see earlier post) mounts! I had tried it in a bunch of different FW enclosures, and in a G4 tower, but it wouldn't mount; it would just spin up and make lots of noise, which worried me. Then today, I was working on an older model G3, and figured, "what the hell, let me stick that drive in and see what happens." At first, I got a flashing question mark, so I figured it was dead, but then when I was about to take the drive out, I noticed that I hadn't plugged in the drive's power cable (d'oh!), and sure enough, the computer booted to the login screen that I always used to never see. (babble ran headless)
I guess it just needed to be plugged into an older ATA bus, or something. Anyway, I was able to get all my files off, and I will be restoring service to dadap.net, becauseyes.com, and xgerine.homeip.net "real soon now". I'm glad to know that all my old diary entries didn't just vanish into that great bit-bucket in the sky.
Went to Boston a couple of weekends ago. Hung out with jsoltren + Jane, and bingsding, and made some headway on construction of CF-D11 (official announcement coming soon, by the way.)
OK, official announcement now:This information is FINAL, and subject to change at any time. :)
CF-D11 will be named Columbia. It's just been too long since the Enterprise to bring in another bike with her name, especially considering all the differences between the two bikes. The bicycle will be matte clear powdercoated, as originally planned, but I will put a coat of yellow rattlecan paint on top, which will probably flake off, but that's what the base coat is for. Details will be masked off, allowing the steel to still show through underneath.
Friday night I went down to Pratt to see my cousin Sal perform my dad's song cycle ("Mga Awit ng Pag-ibig at Pangarap") which apparently has just been choreographed by Max Luna. When I got back to my apartment, I sat down at the keyboard to attempt to begin work on something I've been meaning to do for a while, which is my own recording of the whole cycle, with myself performing all the parts: piano, voice, and trombone instead of cello. However, the keyboard and I struggled for a while, and eventually came to a mutual agreement that it's been far too long since I've played piano. Even No. 3, "Walang Paalam", which I think has the easiest piano part of the five pieces (actually, maybe No. 2, "Paano Mahal Ko" is a bit easier), was difficult to play in a non-sloppy fashion. I need to fix this. This will probably take time.
Oh, and I received a response to my "not guilty" plea to the ticket today. I have a court date at the end of October. In Staten Island. Boo.
