  • If you’d like, two strategies:

    I always keep a book on the John, and will pick it up any time I’m in the room. Gets me through that “first half is dry build” some books have, even if it’s a paragraph at a time.

    Other is audiobook+mindless game. I spend a decent chunk of my afternoons when I’m in this mode just playing Peglin or more recently Haste muted while the book goes.

    This book on the John I’ve done since childhood, it’s got me through some dense stuff, I’d definitely recommend it. Hope it helps!


  • I know it’s been rough for a buddy in a similar situation, but if you’re an ableton user, he’s found bitwig to be the closest thing to come to what he needs. But I believe he’s still had some driver trouble in places. I don’t do much myself as a full-time linux user, but what I ave done of late I’ve used in-the-box deals like an MPC Live for the heavy lifting, then recorded into Microsoft Paint for Audio Audacity on my actual machine from the box.















  • In the beginning it screamed at me. Images loaded line by line over minutes. The most novel thing was being able to message my friends, who would make a creaking door-opening sound when they came online, and set “away” messages with in-jokes or vague angsty song lyrics. I was told not to share any personal or private information, which made discussion rooms seem like mysterious masquerade balls. I could find anything about anything if I looked hard enough, and the minutes spent waiting for replies in discussion boards where your only caché was your previous interactions on the board felt like hours.
