A quick note to say that some of the promised fruits of working on The Six Day Exile have arrived! Above this post, you’ll note a “Latest Song” pseudo-post. This will remain at the top of the blog, even as I make more posts. It’s not quite functioning the way I want it to yet–ideally …

Hmm. This Could Be Difficult.
So as I’ve been posting throughout the week, I’d like to get the commentary for my Rygar run finished before I resume work on The Six Day Exile. Before today, I could sneak in a quick few minutes of this before bed, as my parents typically went to sleep before I did. That changed today, …

Random Tuesday Thoughts #Big
It’s time…it’s time…IT’S VADER RANDOM TUESDAY THOUGHT TIME!! So what exactly constitutes a “live performance” by a band appearing on television? This question actually formed in my head after Def Leppard‘s appearance on Dancing with the Stars last Tuesday. Suffice to say that the band mimed along with an edited version (For time, not content; …

Emptyeye.com Week 29- I Dunno Man, Yeah, Yeah.
This week here on the site, the main news was that I did actual work on the site that you could see, adding various social link buttons to every post on the main page. You can check out the details here; I used and then manually configured a WordPress plugin called Sociable to make that …

Look! The Site Isn’t Dead!
You’ll probably notice the various little icons that are now to the left of the “Leave a Comment” links on each entry here. These are so, if you particularly like something I’ve written, you can submit them to various social things like Digg or StumbleUpon, where I can hopefully take over the world. Or maybe …

Not Much Going On Here.
Seriously. I suppose in effect this raises the issue of “Should a person post on their blog every day for the sake of posting?” Some might argue “No”, and they’d have a fair argument. The thing is that at the moment, while I finish working on The Six Day Exile, the blog posts are really …

Slowly Making Progress on Stuff
Work slowly continues on The Six Day Exile. This time it was properly fading clips into one another to, if not eliminate the annoying pops that come when one clip crashes into another, at least conceal it enough that you won’t notice. I’m also trying to work with a program called Jashaka to ultimately get …

Emptyeye.com Week 28- Speedruns and Albums
This week at emptyeye.com, I returned from my self-imposed exile. Hooray! Since then, I’ve been slowly progressing on the album, doing a bit each day to bring it closer to release. I’d like to continue doing that until it’s finally out. Sometimes it’s significant progress, sometimes it isn’t, but every day it’s at least something. …

Lamenting Bad Recording Quality
While going back and re-arranging what will ultimately become the final version of “7-11“, I was struck at how the compressor that was a part of some of the guitar sound also served to distort and clip said sound. Awesome, now it sounds like a major label recording, and I don’t even get the benefit …

Exile. Ur Doin It Rong.
Or however that particular meme goes. In all, I pleasantly surprised myself with how I generally managed to stay on-task throughout the past week or so. It wasn’t perfect–I still have to record some solos, and do all the mixing and such–but the fact that I said to myself eight months or so ago “I …
