#62Good news: This year, we've doubled the revenue in our (now) core business. Bad news: This is keeping me really, really busy. I need to figure out how to offload some of the admin work, as most of what I'm doing is writing emails. My job has somehow become a mix of course administrator, manager, marketer, customer service person, tech person, business owner, podcast host, etc....
Really need to figure out how to rein things in. Like many entrepreneurs, I'm much better at thinking of exciting new things than I am at thoughtfully reducing my workload.

#66Continuing to add Ableton Live "clip launching" features to Ardour, and along the way fix bugs with our new time representation implementation (which features such things as an int62_t).
But also, over the weekend, helped construct a new 2m diameter horno (outdoor oven) from adobe bricks and mud mortar for the Santa Fe Botanical Garden as part of Santa Fe Community College's ADOB-112 (Wall Construction) course.

#67I've been creating an annotated disassembly of the Yamaha DX7 synthesiser's firmware ROM. It's been going very successfully.
After this project is complete, I plan to build a small platform for people to host webrings. I know it's not going to revolutionise how people use the internet. I think it will be a nice service though. I loved this era of the internet. I have a great domain to go along with it.

#69Kinda just stare at the sky a lot. Went from a job working 60-80 hours a week nonstop with no expectation of time off if you got a call to one with 1/10th the effort needed for the same pay.
Feels surreal at difference in compensation vs effort in, especially because I’m more productive at the new place.
Not really sure what to do with all my free time when there’s no fires to put out
