Rocky Start

7:09 PM September 30, 2006

I woke up with a huge headache this morning, which seemed to get worse as I got out of bed to wake up. I tried to go back to sleep, but my head hurt too much for even that. Of course we were all out of Tylenol, so I had no way for quick relief. I don't think I've ever had a headache as severe as this before. I drank a bunch of water and tried to relax in bed, but my head just hurt too much to relax. Eventually Asuka got me some Tylenol from the store and I was able to fall back asleep. When I woke up again around lunch I felt 100% better. That was a pretty rocky start to my weekend, but now I'm feeling great!

I saw Justin and Davin spin at the bar last night, which was great fun. Their set was full of good music as usual, and I came home pretty sweaty from all the dancing. Today I'm just taking it easy, recovering from my headache this morning and enjoying a relaxing break from all the work I did last week.

I've been quite busy with stuff lately. I had to work some extra hours at my side contract job this week, and I've been a bit stressed and tired from that. Things at my main job are getting very interesting though, and one of the clients my team works with has some fun new projects coming up. I always find it really motivating when the projects I'm working on involve new ideas and theories that we need to create and work out. Sometimes things get a bit monotonous when I'm just working on bug fixes or style tweaks, but right now I'm really enjoying the creative process of designing a large, complicated and important system for our client. Of course after this development phase we'll get to implement this new system and that will also be a lot of fun. I'm really happy with the company and work I get to do these days.

In other news, that new jazzy deep house set I was working on has hit a delay. My mixer has developped some leaks both in the main fader and with one of the volume switches. This makes mixing seamless sets very hard, and I sometimes get crackling artifacts in my recording. I need to open up my mixer and do some tests. Hopefully I can just replace the broken pieces, but I might end up needing a whole new mixer. So I'm not sure when I'll be getting that done, but it shouldn't be too long - I hope.

I figured out that I can hook up my ipod to the Xbox 360. You can pretty much connect anything to the 360 via USB. So now I can use my own ipod music in place of any game's music, and all I need to do is plug it in to the system. This is great because the new poker game I got has horrible music. So now I'm off to play some poker online with the 360 and listen to some relaxing jazz.
