The first morning of 30F weather. It got up to 32F by the time I got around to turning on the mic but chilly morning.

I’m feeling much better, the car situation has been resolved (mostly), and I talked about Wandering Inn, poking the bear about criticizing other writers, and a gorgeous fall morning.

Talked a lot about Shepherd.com this morning. A bit about Sunken Spaceship and noted that I’ve checked into The Wandering Inn for the week.

I almost skipped this morning until somebody reminded me that Sunday is the most peaceful, quiet day of the week for morning walks. It’s a chilly, dreary morning but I feel better for having braved it. It won’t be long before I’ll be cursing the ice and snow instead of the minor inconvenience of wet and cloudy mornings.

Almost forgot to post. Thank heaven for my checklist!

I talked about Wandering Inn, shepherd.com, and X4.

In a reversal of recent efforts, I waited until the morning warmed up before heading out for the walk. The rest of the day has been delayed accordingly.

I talked about writing – particularly the shift from “writing about the cat” to “visiting with Roger” and reading Wandering Inn.

What a long strange trip it’s been.

Didn’t talk much today. A little about the usual suspects.

Wandered around about the batch files. (Note: the Dropbox link didn’t work this morning). Talked a lot about Wandering Inn and how it’s a very interesting story structure.

Almost 5:30 before I got up. I’ve been running a bit late all morning. There’s still time in the day.

ETA: To save y’all the trouble, learned about using wget to grab the file and mutagen to tag it. Haven’t spent the time to try it yet, because Roger needs me, but I’m on the path. Thanks.

I’m pretty scattered this morning with very little to talk about beyond the morning I spent at the KIA dealership.

I’ve stripped down the post production stream to the minimum steps to get the file from my phone to the server, encoded as an mp3. I didn’t add a duplicated second track to make it stereo. Didn’t do any “cleanup” of the audio. Didn’t even use Audacity to convert it, just a ffmpeg commandline call. Let’s see if that helps.

I talked about the problems from yesterday, visiting Roger, playing X4, and reading Wandering Inn. I’m almost done with book 2 and that series still astonishes me.
