purr changed the topic of #elliottcable to: this is CLEARLY a cult.YEP
<vil> I get so frustrated trying to make music
<vil> I have extremely high standards and negative skills
<vil> …and terrible software
<glowcoil> yeah it's really frustrating sometimes
<glowcoil> i go through pendulum swings of like
<glowcoil> being convinced i will never make any good music
<glowcoil> and like feeling very disconnected from what i make
<glowcoil> to sometimes being happy with it
<glowcoil> i just pirated ableton
<vil> haha
<glowcoil> would recommend
<glowcoil> like, seriously
<vil> I don't attempt it frequently enough to know if I have a swing like that
<vil> I made one thing ever that I was sort of happy with, listened to it a month later, and decided it was terrible
<vil> I've got so much in my head though
<glowcoil> haha
<glowcoil> yeah you just have to put in tons of time
<glowcoil> and
<glowcoil> when you learn to love the process as well as the product
<glowcoil> it's the greatest thing on earth
<glowcoil> like, probably some of the happiest times in my life were
<glowcoil> this one week making a project for my music theory class
<glowcoil> and
<glowcoil> christmas break
<vil> I love the process in theory, just not as I currently experience it (GarageBand)
<glowcoil> because i spent most of the day for a couple weeks just working on it steadily
<glowcoil> yeah i would seriously say to pirate something
<glowcoil> if you don't just have several hundred dollars flying around
<vil> indeed I do not
<vil> I just signed a lease
<glowcoil> oh wow
<glowcoil> that's exciting
<vil> yeah :D
<glowcoil> man i want to live on my own
<glowcoil> dorms are great but
<glowcoil> yeah
<vil> I'll have roommates, but two years in the dorms is plenty
<glowcoil> yeah
<glowcoil> i want to get out of here after two maximum
<glowcoil> :p
<vil> I just wish I had time to make music
<vil> or any sort of creative output
<vil> this semester is fucking ridiculous
<vil> I'm exhausted, and I never know what day it is
<glowcoil> i never know what day it is but that's entirely my fault
<vil> haha
<glowcoil> my sleep schedule *was* circling around
<glowcoil> until i took a five hour nap today and i have no idea where i stand
<vil> I am unable to take naps
<glowcoil> what kind of classes are you doing?
<vil> I've got Composition, which is responsible for wasting most of my time, Computer Organization, Linear Algebra, History of Canada, and Team Software Project
<glowcoil> wow, lots
<glowcoil> well i guess just 5 classes but that is kinda heavy
<vil> there's way more writing than I was bargaining for
<glowcoil> yeah
<glowcoil> i kind of got all that done in high school since i did a *shit* ton of ib and ap classes
<glowcoil> just one upper division writing class and i'm done with writing credits
<vil> that wasn't an option at my school
<vil> not that I would have done it anyway, probably
* glowcoil nods
<glowcoil> yeah it was a shit ton of busy
<glowcoil> so far college has been waaaay more relaxing
<glowcoil> i just remember
<glowcoil> two weeks in may
<glowcoil> exam week
<glowcoil> i went to like, one class
<glowcoil> because all the other time i was literally in exams
<vil> yikes
<glowcoil> glad i did it
<glowcoil> was rewarding and i'm in a good place re credits now :p
<glowcoil> but yeah it was pretty crazy
<glowcoil> i had fairly healthy habits that week so i didn't really get fried till the end of it
<glowcoil> last couple exams i kind of phoned it in, watching the clock until they were over
<glowcoil> only needed like, aight grades on them anyway
<glowcoil> i had already taken the ones i cared more about
<vil> I still have pretty horrible study habits
<glowcoil> me too, arguably
<glowcoil> i'm about to turn in this CS assignment for 70% credit, a day and a half late
<glowcoil> haven't turned in a physics assignment yet
<glowcoil> (physics is a lot looser with the grading so hopefully it won't be a problem)
<vil> mm
<vil> I dunno, one of my classes is going to have to start suffering if I'm going to stay sane
<vil> I'm making sure that I'm not in a position of power in Team Software Project
<vil> don't have time for that shit
<glowcoil> that's good
<vil> it sucks too, because I was really hoping for an easier semester to finally make some progress on Conduit
<vil> but that's not going to happen
<glowcoil> :/
<glowcoil> i get what you mean
<glowcoil> :,
<glowcoil> :c
<vil> BANGARANG
<vil> so I'm currently writing a paper about a cancelled canadian interceptor jet from the 1950s, and this is not what college was supposed to be
<glowcoil> haha
<glowcoil> i'm waiting for my seam-carver program to shrink a really really big image
<vil> ugh
<vil> my partner in TSP finally committed some code, with two days left on the project
<vil> most of the changes are just useless javadoc comments on methods that practically document themselves
<vil> public SortedSet<Event> eventsOnDate(GregorianCalendar date)
<vil> "Retrieves event listing from the eventsByDay map and returns it."
* vil facedesks
<glowcoil> ugh yeah
<glowcoil> lots of dumb people in cs classes
<vil> he's a nice guy and seems like an ok programmer, but damn
<vil> we had three weeks to work on this
<vil> and it's not something that I can get away with doing myself, we have to document the process and stuff
<vil> (granted, we're going to make most of that up anyway)

<ELLIOTTCABLE> There's this thing, where I occasionally ask Siri, something I meant to ask purr.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> -how's the bitcoin doing?
<purr> ELLIOTTCABLE: Did you mean `-BTC`?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> -btc
<purr> ELLIOTTCABLE: Buy ฿1: $US 819.29 @ Bitstamp, $US 820.17 @ Coinbase
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: HEY I'M THINKING OF GETTING INTO BITCOINS
<glowcoil> ELLIOTTCABLE: BUYING A LARGE AMOUNT
<glowcoil> YOU THINK I'LL MAKE IT BIG
<ELLIOTTCABLE> If you buy more than 1BTC while it's over 700, I will slap you.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I'm personally planning to buy another 5BTC if it drops below 500, but otherwise, I'm out of the game permanently. Observing.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> My only capital left is that which I intended to use to hedge against a looooong rise to 10k :P
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I wanna see $10/µ฿ in my life.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Hi, glowcoil. You wanna minecrafr? <3
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Addiction is a problem.
