musicians! signal-boosting from
solarbird: Finale NotePad is free but not for much longer
meanwhile, things i hate today:
1. secure computing's sidewinder firewall. yeah, i get it, you're a potentially powerful application layer inspect-inside-the-packets able to remove things from the session stream in a single bound blah blah blah badassed security appliance.
you are also FUCK-ALL fiddly to configure. especially when there's two of you that are supposed to be working together. especially when i'm under a deadline.
2. the entire payment card industry.
3. audits.
4. headaches.
5. leg cramps and the lingering muscle pain thereof. nothing like muscles spasming so hard they apparently injure themselves.
otoh, i remembered to bring my headphones to the disaster-recover/staging facility, so i've got music instead of ventilation sounds. also, i found an unused table so i can type reasonably well, here. so that's good.
