How to add twenty-eight days to the current date without a calendar: if it's April, June, September or November, take two days off, if it's any other month but February, take three days off. If it's February and not a leap year, take no time off since you already have twenty-eight days, if it's a leap year, take a day. Today is October 9th, and October has thirty-one days. October 9th to November 9th = 31 days − 3 = 28 days = November 6th. This sponsored by me being able to successfully math my way out of a potentially sticky situation with my mum earlier today. I love math, and I love winning arguments with math.

Ouchy! I just hit my eye eon a shelf we have here. I have ice on it but still, Owwy. I'll probably be feeling this tomorrow.

After further consultation with the barn's landlord, @jmd2000 has chosen to shutter the barn temporarily while he supervises some underlying structural repairs, because for all he knows, reopening early could have tumble down barn while yall are in it. For now, you can grab all the archives here.

Now announcing my new app, FastRoute. This one is a long time in the making. The idea of FastRoute is that you have sessions, and within these sessions you have different blocks that you can add, in any order you want, to send audio anywhere you like and process it however you like. This app is for Windows users, and is designed to create a similar ish experience to something like Audio Hijack from the Mac. Input blocks include things like input devices, applications, system audio (with exclusions support), internet streams. Effects include a 4 band parametric EQ, a 10 band EQ, channel mixer, pitch shifter, normalizer, compressor, and more. Outputs include output device, recorder, etc. FastRoute can also send and receive audio across the network, using it's net send/net receive blocks. We have our own protocol, but also support VBAN (VB Audio Network) protocol as well! This barely scratches the surface of the power of FastRoute, so check it out! https://github.com/masonasons/FastRoute/releases/tag/latest
