GTE was delivered yesterday, and is pretty fun. I’m not entirely in modular experimentation mode because I’m wrapping up mastering of XQSTCRPS, but I gave it a whirl and did some crazy PWM stuff, the expected gate extraction from LFOs, and a bit of recombination of gates to alter sequences. It’ll get more of a play soon since I’m done with mastering and art and on to writing up the notes — I have a list of ideas and experiments.
Yesterday I did two interviews for potential new developers at work. It was the first time I was the (primary) interviewer rather than interviewee, and I had a sort of second-order concern that I was going to be nervous — either several days in advance, the night before, the morning before, or during. As it turns out, I faced it all with calm and had a fairly chill day. The only thing that went wrong was I forgot to take my meds in the morning, and found that Lexapro at 4 PM does indeed contribute to insomnia.
(This, after having a fairly bad time of it for several days when the previous team lead announced she was leaving and I’d be taking over. This work on dealing with my anxiety has really gotten somewhere.)
(Both of the interviewees did well, and I think either of them would likely be a good addition to the team. Choosing one over the other is a challenge; I have my opinion but it could be swayed in the meeting we’re about to have to discuss them.)
