I ripped most of Eric Clapton's August album. I already had two tracks off that album from a later Clapton compilation.

I re-ripped those tracks, honestly expecting no major differences. Turns out the compilation was a victim of that "loudness war" bullshit and was louder than the original release.

Granted, these aren't really a concern considering I use ReplayGain on everything, but it likely means a better sound in the long run.

really wish people would stop using the jojo "next you'll say I was only pretending to be retarded" meme.

@KS hope you feel better.

There's so many things about this journey/exploration that are just... scary to me.

Exploring who I am is scary. Figuring out where I land on the identity spectrum is a process that stresses me out. Transition is a big deal and it makes me worry.

I praise those who eventually figured out who they are, and made those steps to becoming who they really want to be.

Maybe that'll be me some day, but it's tough to get through when I'm scared like this.

@KitRedgrave you should get one of those super-big enter keys that you can smash.

of all the songs stuck in my head right now, it had to be a beach boys song from that late '80s period everybody hates.

@KitRedgrave You'll find someone that will help you about that stuff eventually.

Don't give up.

One habit I need to eventually break:

Someone: *mentions a thing I wrote on my blog before*
Me: "Oh, I wrote about that once."
...
*doesn't share post in chat*

I seem to be real bad at advertising myself

@maple Burger Becky is cool.

I saw her at a panel at a local retro games convention here, she had some amusing gamedev stories.

@maple If you're using Firefox you could try Iridium, I've used it for getting youtube screencaps a few times on my blog.

5am is totally the best time to listen to the Matlock theme song, right?

what the fuck is this bullshit

*presses play/pause key on keyboard to pause podcast in Winamp*

*foobar2000 and Spotify start playing songs at the same time*

why is it that sometimes the play/pause key works for one application and in other cases wants to play for every single media player I have open

stuck in my head: that intro section in duran duran's rio with that silly drum fill

@maple suddenly I'm thinking of the image of someone just squeezing a juicero bag by hand to get the juice out.
