Still Among the Moving and Breathing

nyykiAmidst the rest of life in the USA hitting paths full of rocks and excrement, and also dealing with the dip in mood this time of the year incites, I got a good piece of news about fifteen minutes ago. The hard drive that lost its drive heads is about 70% imaged, and may be done as soon as Saturday but should be done by next week. This will be the recovery of a lot of data I can’t get anywhere else, and in some cases nobody else has. I’ll still need to get a sighted person to assist me in getting things sorted out with Sound Forge 11, because it’s hijacking all audio when I fire it up, but this is a step in the right direction.
The next windmill to slay will be whatever got set wrong on the big Kurzweil (K2600X) so that it doesn’t send MIDI. That’s my most convenient controller for creating stuff, and I’m developing some interesting musical ideas I want to play with. This will also facilitate work on the musician-focused MIDI book I’m working on.
The third windmill is getting the live PA FX rack cabled so I can get it out of the middle of the floor in the Zen Room.
Progress, though slow progress, but each step is another travel down the path. And I’m welcoming the distraction, especially since it looks like a lot of stuff is about to go totally nucking futs. That’s a reminder that when logic and facts based thought is removed from the arena nothing in it is going to make sense, and it stretches the range of subjective reality when someone’s or several someones’ reality is so counter to prevailing perceptions.
