stupid mistakes

i had iTunes set to convert aiffs to mono files for a specific task, and forgot to set it back to stereo, so everything i've converted since then has been in mono.

d'oh !

i had thrown away a lot of files that i had converted badly,

i was able to recover all but one of those files with Norton Utilities, so i have a mono only version of one of the source tracks for the collaboration with PBK. not a huge loss.

i also made a copy of one of my CDs for electricwalrus, and i'll have to re-send it in stereo.

i have my hands in too many tasks all at once, and it sometimes leads to some really stupid mistakes like this one.

one day i'll probably have one of my stupid mistakes happen and it'll be unfixable. but i may as well not worry about that until the time comes.

(no subject)

i'm supposed to be writing for Mouthy, but the big inspiration just hasn't grabbed me yet.

did i tell everyone that i got a writing gig with a magazine that promises to be a real, cashmoney, actual, bigtime (someday) magazine with actual (someday) readership?

well, yeah. there you go then.
i need to get bustin' butt on some music reviews. i have two stinkin' mp3 CDs full of stuff to review from ze Editôr and a decent sized pile of stuff here as well.

OOF.

i don't know how we're going to manage to put anything substantial out once a month. i guess we'll count on everyone else being less slackerishly prone to pointlessly aproductive proclivities.


well,
i have been tinkering away on the novel. there's not much done there yet, but there's something

also:
i made a good mixdown of the first of caerie's music project tracks. (yay me!)
