I can imagine it so vividly, but I don't know if there's any way to get the idea across. | *15:38, 6 Jun 2005 (CDT): back from all that.

What Woozle Is Doing Right Now
- 15:38, 6 Jun 2005 (CDT): back from all that. Actually was home for about 30 minutes somewhere in the middle, but not enough time to actually do anything. Read some of Vernor Vinge's Singularity article out loud to Harena, but had to go off to fetch Z before getting more than about 1/3 of the way through. Then we had to go to Costco for gas (still $1.959/gal) and stuff, during which I had this odd flash of Karen S. singing Peter Gabriel's "Steam". It's not really her kind of song, I don't think, but I think it'd be right in her vocal range... I can imagine it so vividly, but I don't know if there's any way to get the idea across.
- Currently trying to get Bochs working again, as I think it might be helpful in working on the Mayhall install issue -- I want to have a clean install of Windows, dump the whole registry, then install FormTool, dump the registry again, and find out what changes. This should tell me what reg keys need to be set up in order for FT to work right.
- Still pretty whacked from all the weed-whacking, though. And it is suddenly summer today, too (probably started a day or two ago but I wasn't outside any & didn't notice).
- 10:47, 6 Jun 2005 (CDT): going shopping and stuff and things.
- 10:40, 6 Jun 2005 (CDT): recovering from weed-whacking, which was necessary in order to be able to get far enough back in the woods to release a copperhead snake Harena found lurking under a tarpaulin. While doing the clearing, I came across a hole in the ground containing two tiny raccoons, both looking quite terrified.

- 20:55, 5 Jun 2005 (CDT): bed
- 19:44, 5 Jun 2005 (CDT): processing The Birthday Tape (1969-05-11)
- 19:01, 5 Jun 2005 (CDT): reading bedtime stories to kids
- 17:56, 5 Jun 2005 (CDT): saving files and eating dinner
- 12:40, 5 Jun 2005 (CDT): Transcribing audio from ancient 4-track reel-to-reel tapes. Currently transcribing "TDK-001", possibly the first 7" rtr tape I recorded on. It's old enough that itdoesn't contain any serious attempts to record actual songs, although there are some pieces which I have plans for. It also contains a lot of bits which ended up in "Pineapple" and "Daydream of the Psychoanalyst", so may be helpful in recreating those with higher fidelity. Lots of noodling around on the piano, most of it too much like existing songs to be useful.
I was a little worried at first because one of the channels didn't seem to be there anymore except very faintly, and I was afraid maybe the tape had been left up against something magnetic and partly erased, maybe... but it turned out just to be a slightly-corroded switch in need of cleaning :-)
