no haiku this time. i had to get it posted. sorry about that. (a haiku?) ... And sorry about THAT; i couldn't help myself. It popped into my head, and there was nothing for it but to let it out. I'm just posting the last short suite from this gig because i was having problems with the recorder. This was the first gig for which i used my new M-Audio MicroTrack 24/96, and i couldn't figure out what was wrong with the thing. I lost three sets - a long 40 minute one, and a couple of half-hour ones, and finally resorted to pulling out the MiniDisc recorder so i could get something (this little 10-minute suite). After it was all over, as i was disconnecting everything, i discovered the power cord to the MicroTrack was loose in its wall-wart. It was intermittently connected, and the firmware in the MicroTrack couldn't deal with the concept, and seized-up. {Got that, M-Audio?} So, on the one hand, it was a classic problem: checking the cord to make sure it was plugged in. But on the other hand, with its internal battery, the MicroTrack should have decided to ignore the intermittency from the external power supply. This is what happens when Designers don't live in real life. Sorry for saying that, but i think all Civil Engineers (for example) as part of their required coursework, should have a class in 'homelessness' - for which the coursework would be one semester of living in the street. This principle could be applied to all areas of design, and the world would be a better place for it. {Alternatively, watch our whole society implode someday in some vast cascading firmware sneezure.} ...
