Can Never Have Enough Of Chicago

Ah, Chicago, one of the best places on earth.

Ha, some folks would start a description of this with “I’m not sure what possessed me to do this” but I have no intention of doing so! I know EXACTLY what possessed me to do this: Catharsis. I needed to do a little house-cleaning of the mind. I believed maybe I could do it in such an organized fashion, that documenting the process might be helpful to others. As I chart what I’ve learned about Max/MSP and creating custom tools in various audio environments, I also thought it could help me to learn still more. By creating tutorials for Max/MSP in 3 parts: “Sampling”, “Sequencing”, and “Interfacing”, I’m hoping to end up charting the path I’d like to take to learn SuperCollider. I’m almost done with the first part, “Sampling”… here is a little peek at my digital lunacy:

Actually, not that awesome, because hacking wordpress sites, particularly ones like this one which generate next to no traffic, is a bit like taking candy from a baby. That baby being me! :D But I must say, knowing how little attention my site gets, I feel honored! Thank you for paying attention Draxiax crew!

These smart folks are based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. And I just want to say, it makes me proud. My fellow Hindi-speaking brothers have acquired quite a bit of esoteric knowledge which, after witnessing the wasteful meaningless frivolity of most of the web-developing yuppies here in the SanFrancisco Bay Area, makes me feel like the proper checks and balances are instituted in the world. It took me about 4 hours to restore my site and learn about creating special hidden files to safeguard my site, it wasn’t a big deal, just an annoyance at first. But after going through all of it, I feel strangely thankful. This information I learned is not important, nor fun, nor exciting, but why should I be on the web if I don’t know how to use it or protect myself from it? That is the important lesson I learned. Thanks Draxiax Crew!
