Today was a wierd day. I'm going to attribute most of my foul mood to being tired, overworked, and PMS, but there are a few things lately that are irritating me.
First though, I had fun at the Congo demo today. Though this new console is going to make everything we know about ETC programming obsolete. Over the last few years there have been two types of boards: conventionals and intelligents. Lots of boards will run both, but none of them did both well. So the Congo has been redesigned to do both with ease, but in order to work with both styles and attributes, the syntax and thought process is COMPLETELY changed. It's like making the grammer reorganization when you switch from English to Latin. When we talk, we have a subject/verb/object agreement, whereas in Latin sentences go in subject/object/verb agreement. In the same way, on your average ETC board, when you wanna bring channels 1 through 5 at full, you type Channel 1 Thru 5 AT Full. On this board, to do the same thing, you now type 1 Channel 5 Thru At Level At Level. Yeah. Freakin wierd. But I do see how much easier it is to program both intelligents and conventionals now...especially with the annihilation of the term "cue" and instead creating stacks that are completely independent of time restraints. Gah. My head is still spinning.
Anyways. Back to the original rant. I know that I'm kinda lousy about keeping in touch with people, but really. If I keep leaving you messages, and if you keep ignoring me, you're gonna wake up one day and realize I've been gone for five years, and that everything we had was for nothing. And yes, this is directed at multiple people. I'm so tired of having both relationships and friendships with people who just don't give a shit about anyone else.
I'm also kinda frustrated with some business stuff. Sometimes I get the impression that the things I say go in one ear and out the other. Starting to have some complications with one project, with a bunch of "you never told me that!" when I have about three messages documenting the same conversations. I mean, this is some really strange stuff going on here...can't go into details honestly, but what the hell?
