Brought the 2nd BCF2000 down. Plan is to get a ghetto mixing thing going with the maschine in the middle on send / plugin / transport control duties. But! set it in a big chunk of sandstone or red gum sleepers (or both maybe sandstone sides?) that's lying around that I'll angle grind. Probably pointless / impractical but would maybe look nice with a beach theme. If it flops Gibson can have the second BCF lol (if it works haven't tried it in a while).
The maschine is pretty handy, also not bad as a generic controller for plugs and can put it in mackie mode without too much headache. This one is a dinosaur mk1 so only works w/ v2 software not 3.
but ee all the faders on the bcfs work, not bad given their age and reputation lol.. noisy as hell though:
It's about my favourite day of the year - the Friday of the Good Food & Wine Show!!
I managed to score some extra tickets, so if you are bored and want to try a lotta cheese and wine, hit me up! Empahsis on the wine and vodka and tequila and whatever the fuck chocolate-in-wine is.
brisk early morn awakening to a cat emergency, lil' shit is now wandering the house bitching at us. I care not, I straight up bailed on work and told them so.
I've actually missed my inescapable myki vulture agent. That one dude really didn't like me. All he had to do was help a poor little ol' lady up the stairs of the 75 tram and we could've been friends. Perhaps in another life.
There was a bloke on today's tram (no.11) announcing that from Monday (1/6/26) we'd need to start touching off & on again, but that fare would be half price. Quite a good idea I thought - remind people to load up their mykis after a long couple of months when we didn't have to.
They're just waiting silently, patiently in the shadows.. biding their time.. as soon as the clock turns 12... be afraid.. very afraid (even if your myki is valid.. there's an itch to scratch).
I didn't like they were telling people not to touch on when things were free. It would have helped track numbers to make a case for it to be free all the time
Hey, I loath teaching in a group sense. One or two at a time is a totally different thing. It's more of a conversation, so much more adaptable, and none of that being stared at bullshit.
I hope I don't come across as callous or anything here, it's not my intention. That said, you are still very new in the role. I would encourage you to keep turning up, being present, and doing your best. Don't try to judge it or make long term career decisions yet. You have a lot of growing pain and adjustment to come over the next several months before I would even say you can tell how you like your job. Breathe, do your best - it's all you can do and I'm sure you're doing just fine regardless how you feel. Give it more time and patience, and give yourself more kindness, before making any big decisions
classrooms are not democracies, you are there to impose order, are there to teach, start classes by telling the students what they are going to learn that day . Certainty is very helpful to young minds. Look at what the teachers who have order do.
and yes, look after yourself, be the best prepared you , show no weakness!!
Sweet chilli chicken tenders, a smidge of bogan satay (I make a decent sauce out of ginger, lemongrass, peanut butter etc), spinach and cucumber on buttered white bread
Absolute nightmare situation trying to leave work today. I was stuck there waiting for my manager to approve something to go out over the weekend. Thought everything was good and even got out into the carpark before being called back in because he couldn't find a version. Then back inside to cancel the send, find a past version, to just reschedule the same thing that i did before leaving.
Of course you only have days like this when you have plans on after work
Just pulled the trigger on a DJI Pocket 4 and some other gear. I watched a video on the Pocket 3 and immediately wanted one. It's all through the business, which is the point of all this.
Better than the microphones I bought that sat in a draw for about 3 years. I've only just started using those now.

Escaped down the beach for the w/e.

That's the vision:

Follow your dreams bro! I always wondered if the maschine was good. I like the plugin buts it's nothing without the controller.

and the cinematography is always beautiful and interesting

how could they do remake when Buck Henry's screenplay is pretty much perfect
tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 90d
I'm not sure if it's any good. I put on the first episode years ago when I was sick off work. It's one of the only other adaptations I can think of
Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 90d
I watched half an episode, 🤷♀️
in my opinion did not need a remake
