- Dropped off, picked up, dropped off.
- Got on a call to help my dad with his computer. I got him an M1 MacBook Air a month ago. He said it was fine, then I checked in with him a few days ago, and he said he hasn't been able to use it this whole time. Turns out he can't find Firefox or Excel on it because they're not there. I walked him through starting Migration Assistant on his old and new computer. Migration Assistant appears to be hanging, so I gotta do another session with him.
- Recorded some sounds for a podcast segment.
- Replaced most of the raw pointer stuff in the vocode tool with `vector`s so I can stop doing byte math. Verified that the block code works; it can sucessfully copy an input to the output, block by block. When I go back to doing all the operations on each mode, I get out silence again, and the mystery of why there are so many identical consecutive values seemingly in the input is still going.
- Talked to someone about a contracting opportunity (and his side project—he's a composer actually signed to a label). This one seems as safe as you can get for a first gig, but it is still not without risk.
- Helped the guy with his new monster apartment project.
- Watched some videos with the guy. I guess that part isn't work, but finding and prescreening them was. The Lego train one went over well, predictably. He didn't think the Kids in the Hall "I'm crushing your head" sketch was good. He loves doing the bit and has been doing so for weeks. I guess it's just the concept that he likes.
- Replied to the recruiter that's been waiting on me about whether I'm ready to start interviewing. I answered with a question, which probably sucks to hear in a late reply, but it's one I need to know.
