It feels like I do nothing but code...

I have been updating my music webpage and it feels like I have been doing nothing but code for the past several days. This has been the project of the better part of a week. This is harder than doing the music itself. Still, I am pleased with the outcome. I have to admit that there was more than a bit of frustration that attended to the project. My photo album, for example, would simply refuse to line up. I looked at the table codes... they were correct. So why did it not line up correctly? It had to have been the table demon. To say nothing of the nice java demon that lives in cyber-space gobblilng up bits of script and making applications act like madmen wanting for haldol. It is done... for now. I have no intention of doing more on it until the CD is released.

Speaking of the CD... I finished the tracks. Or so I thought. I found a glaring error on one cut. It is one verse too short! I was sick the day that I recorded the acoustic guitar and, well..., It seems that I could not count. No worries... I shall simply rearrange the song a la George Martin and Strawberry Fields Forever... just splice a new ending on.

MAS is being a major pain in the ass. He is not returning my calls nor is he available when he says that he will be. I am getting frustrated. Especially given the fact that when he needs somehting I am available. I am seriously thinking of dropping him from the project. More rearrangements. The guy does not get the idea of quid pro quo and tends to see everything through the rather warped lens of what he should get out of something. He came over here to do his recording on my compu, offered no assistance and took up lots of time. When I need his assistence it is the answering machine that I get and then his standard bullshit: "Can we get together next week..." But next week never comes.

Yeah, I am pissed off.

But my webpage looks better than his does!
