I can plug so many things into this. Really keen to read the manual and see how much control I can have via that RS-232 port.
beer, Ukraine
Enjoying a can of Puck Futin, just spotted the Cyrillics on the side - червоні очі, (Chervoni ochi.) Ahhh - red eyes. That must be the local name, and explains the label drawing!
Recipe shared by Ukraine's Правда (Pravda) brewery.
Damn shame that my 12 cans are all that I'll ever get to see, because I really like it.
Love that a simple swipe of the space bar on my iPad has me into Ukranian Cyrillic.
Real estate agents
Had a local real estate agent come round to do a market appraisal - need it to get a construction loan for an extension.
She seemed confused about why we weren't doing a knockdown rebuild.
RE: Wouldn't it be cheaper?
Me: Maybe, a little bit, but it's so wasteful and the whole point is to do a sustainable build.
RE: ... But wouldn't it be cheaper?
Me: ...
RE: ...
Me: SO - Back to that market appraisal...
Something that stuck with me from last night - was chatting with a scrutineer as he was leaving. He'd phoned in the initial count to his party and said that's all he needed. I just jokingly said "So you're happy nothing underhanded is going on then?"
"Oh no mate, there never is."
I suddenly came over feeling almost patriotic.
If they use my script I'm suing someone.

I ordered a laptop stand so I could have my laptop hooked up to my drums in a more useful position, it arrived today and fits perfectly! So much better than having it dodgily perched on the luggage to the left there. 😛
I also discovered that Logic Pro has a thing where it can pick up the tempo of what you're playing and it lets you adjust it after the fact! I'm a bit shit at keeping time, but I recorded a section by trying to keep a count in my head ("ONE and TWO and THREE and FOUR and") and I actually ended up surprisingly close to 120bpm the whole time.
