I write programs, music notation, and sometimes both with the Go programming language. I created the internal #golang channel during RC S'13, gave the first lightning-talk of the first !!Con, and co-organized the NYC Monthly Music Hackathon for some years.

@bangbangcon The clipping usually means the microphone's gain (knob) in the mixer is too high (VU meter for mic will be going over 0dB red). The fix is lower the gain (knob) to stop the clipping, then increase the level (fader) for that mixer channel if it isn't anywhere near 0dB yet (otherwise lower main out on the mixer if THAT isn't near 0dB). But if everything is at 0dB already, people aren't close enough to the mic! For stage mics, be VERY close like you're eating them! (like a rock star)

Head's up @bangbangcon the live stream's audio is clipping every few seconds & also sounds very low. Sorry if this is pedantic, but the root problem is anyone speaking probably needs to be much closer / head on talking into the mic. As in, that type of mic must be pointed directly at the mouth, and a couple inches away.

Another fun thing is I totally forgot my Soundcloud (created in 2010?) was registered to its own bespoke Gmail account! Whoops.

A fun thing about finding some of these emails is Gmail used to include a "verification code" in the message, instructing you to keep the email / code. I'm guessing these codes maybe worked like nascent form of modern recovery codes?

Google is actively deleting inactive accounts that haven't been logged into in 2 years. If you're an OG Gmail user, try searching your primary inbox with both of the phrases "Your Gmail address" and "has been created" to find extra accounts you maybe created and forgot about!

While I want to be excited about this (since the entire world only has ~25 blimps left), doesn't the world have an *extremely* finite supply of helium (that we need for much more critical things, like MRI's and children's birthday balloons)?

"the king in yellow" is what we can call amazon/bezos from now on (it all meshes with the horror / themes of the book)

it is DOD, not Digitech

it is NOT used primarily for Acoustic Guitar (its a super heavy fuzz pedal used for doom metal, etc. hint: deer skull demon guy)

but they did get "CARCOSA" right (which is the name of a city in the weird fantasy / horror book "the king in yellow")

I have just decided that from now on I will be referring to dark mode as "dark mid" (fight me)
