Plague

If you need to get in touch with me, give it a little bit longer than it usually takes for me to respond. I’ve got some kind of cold/flu/virus/bug/plague-thing that’s currently playing merry havoc with my respiratory system. I’m running a low-grade fever, I’m doped to the gills and I generally feel like I’m swimming under several fathoms of lukewarm honey.

I’ll get back to you, but it’ll take me a bit.

Bleah, etc.

Just a quick update: As I said in the comments of the entry below, one of the niftiest things about my new Mac is GarageBand, Apple’s new music creation software. After noodling around with it for a couple of hours this evening, learning to record directly from a MIDI keyboard, and mix the couple of thousand loops that they provide with the program, I’ve come up with the following, which I’m going to put up for public consumption for a brief time (it’ll come down eventually for reasons of bandwidth). Putting this puppy together took about 25 minutes, and, although I haven’t yet figured out how to do the fadeout that I want yet, I’m pretty pleased with the results:

Edit, Sat. Morning: I figured out how to do the fade, and, perfectionist that I am, I’ve uploaded the corrected version.
