I somehow forgot when to leave for swimming, so we ended up there an entire hour early. There’s two bookstores near there, but we found out they both closed. (Also, the MIT Press Bookstore moved.) There’s not much open in Kendall on Saturday morning.Comments
So, after some Lego video watching and rock paper scissors, we went in and checked out a Captain Underpants ebook on my phone. That’s kinda handy. -

I was going to take a shower, but finally got tired of the upstairs bathroom door not latching. I had installed it too high back when we moved in, probably because installing it at the right height would mean that only one of the two screws could catch because someone had gouged an overly large recess behind the strike plate.Comments
I moved it down and tried to glue a small piece of wood behind the screw that had no wood to catch behind it. Even if that worked, it would mean the glue, rather than the screw would be holding the strike plate to the door jamb. Then, I tried finding a longer screw, which I didn’t have.
In the end, I left the strike plate affixed by one screw. The door does latch, so we don’t have to honor system it. (Dr. Wily has no honor.)
The real problem is that door, like many of the doors in this place, is not hung plumb (that’s fancy talk for “vertically level”). Which we should fix. Someday. -

My back is not ruins today! It does get sensitive after sitting in a non-ergonomic dining chair, but it was definitely not wrecked by yesterday’s small workout.Comments

One nice thing about 25-year-old kids being all hyped about "old school death metal" (which I know as just unprefixed death metal) is that I've been reminded of classics that I missed in the '90s. Dismember's Like an Ever Flowing Stream is so good, and despite so many bands mining the HM-2 sound to death, it sounds great here, in the context that inspired all of that overuse.Comments
I read that Nicke Andersson from Entombed did all of the leads. They are mostly fairly simple ones, but they do the job and are especially good for someone known as a drummer.
Nicke was a busy guy. He played drums in Entombed, wrote a lot of their songs, and ghost-sang on Entombed's second album, which came out in the same year as Like an Ever Flowing Stream. -
Ten burpees, twelve pull-ups, ten supermans. The supermans make me feel like a baby doing tummy time.Comments

I thought I slept well, but I’m exhausted. Maybe it’s that I had to do an interview? Interviewing people is always exhausting. Or is it just…oldness?Comments

If you use Bandcamp, the Bandcamp Tempo Adjust extension is good times! Just aimlessly sliding the tempo around is fun.Comments
And part of the reason stuff like this is possible is that Bandcamp just lets you have the audio file instead of DRMing like the various terrible streaming companies. -
I spent a lot of today adding narration (or at least support for it) to Flooding. It was a little tricky because the whole thing so far is built around each voice playing something every tick and using the same sample for everything.Comments
And maybe because I'm still catching up on weekend sleep issues, now I'm wiped. I hoped to fit in some client work, but that'll have to be tomorrow night. -

I’ve been couch computing lately, which is not a thing I thought I’d be able to do because of my keyboard needs. Then, I realized I could put my weird keyboard stand on my lap.
Unfortunately, that caused me back problems which I may just now be getting over.
