Head of major Russian shipyard dies suddenly, no cause given. Putin Insists 99.9 Percent of Russians Ready to 'Sacrifice Everything'

Ho ho ho, Slow Case!

Well, the power came back on later that night. My mother was in the hospital until Monday. She had emergecy surgery to fix an intestinal problem that had been going on for nearly a decade. I'm now going to be here in scenic western Mass until Jan 5th. I'm not sure how long my mother will be here. There are a great many implications here, but the end result is that I will be spending the holidays in W.Mass, but not doing things like resuming my radio show (the gear for which is in boxes.) Definitely some interesting times going on right now.

Today has gone utterly off the rails. I am supposed to move out of the house I've been in for 22 years on Monday. The power went out an hour ago. Not fully, but a massive voltage sag. 60V coming out of the walls. My sainted, octogenarian mother is staying with me. She's been feeling ill for hours. She said she was feeling faint and asked me to call an ambulance. She list left in it. I'm staying here for now to make sure the house stays upright while National Grid defends their title as Most Incompetent Entity in the Known Universe.

This is not parody. This is parody.

That URL is weirldy optimistic sounding. In the parlance of our times "Big Bad Vladdy Daddy did a little fucky wucky and put the 'miss' in 'missile.'" Comment from 8 months ago:

Twitch and YouTube are both miserable for music. Their copyright bot is the Terminator.

Last night's show is up: I won't be posting too many more sets to Mixcloud, what with their new policy rolling out on the 10th.

Big changes happening. First off, after a decade MixClown is now limiting free users to 10 visible uploads. That means I won't be posting any more sets there after Dec 1st. Mixlr has rolled out their "Channels" feature. The new landing page for my show is: https://testtone.mixlr.com/ Show recordings are located at: https://testtone.mixlr.com/recordings I haven't actually gone live with the new Channels UI. Tonight will be interesting.

Last Friday's show is up: All the music is there, but the last couple minutes of my rant got cut off because of Mixlr's imposed time limit. I blame Chrome.

Did Apple do something fucky with outgoing message tones recently? My sainted, octogenarian mother wants to hear an audio confirmation for an outgoing message (both text and email) and her iPhone (running the latest OS) will not. I have diagnosed part of the problem. It looks like the iPhone only uses an outgoing message sound with the stock Mail app, not the GMail app. I'm mystified as to the outgoing text message tone. There isn't even an option to change it in Settings as best I can make out.
