Monkey Management

I’m so proud of the monkeys! They’ve done a lot more this week than I expected and are showing initiative and insight. Decent code too. Clean and straightforward. I think beer and pizza are in order sometime early next week. Why monkeys? Because monkeys are cool. They sound cooler than developers. I think senior monkeys …

September booking up fast.

That’s the third event to book me for September. It’s going to be a busy month. Add that to the new night that starts in September, and a couple of other shows that I’m doing tech for, and I suspect that September will be one long drinking binge. *laugh* Keith in NY asked if I’d …

Pimped.

*laugh* I’m being pimped out to cute kiwi chicks. A friend from New Zeland emailed me in April to ask if she could pass on my number to friends coming through town who needed a tour guide or a place to stay. I said that’d be fine as long as they were cute. *laugh* So …

The Bee’s Knees

I think that I may have done my knees a bit of a disservice yesterday. I was running low on time, what with the catloging of my music, and shopping for food and all of that stuff. So I combined shopping with the daily exercise routine. I loaded up the saddle bags with groceries and …

Gotta love the west end in the summer.

Friday 1:30 am the morning. A phone call . Come out and help us finish these pithcers of beer! We’re on the patio up the street. Beer’s done. Lets drop by the party. “I love the west end. All the bad people live here”, he says as he hands her back her new Domnatrix ad …

Waldorf – What’s a waldorf?

I gotta say that I had some hesitation about the venue. After all it is on Hastings, right? Mind you, that isn’t really fair. It isn’t like it’s down on crack row. It’s actually only a block or so off of Commercial drive. I’d seen a couple of shows there over the years, and would …

Random Thoughts.

Sleep just does not come well to me when it is that damn hot in the apartment. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been praying (alright, alright… Not so much praying as sacrificing virgins…) for the summer to actually start. All that wet cold weather was starting to make me think that summer was going to …

I like playing with Traktors.

I finally picked up Traktor Final Scratch. It was a fucking bitch and a half to set up, seeing as the idiots who wrote the linux installer were less than fastidious about allowing other partion types on the same disk, and the update and upgrade path was a fuckgin nightmare, but finally I got it …
