“Busy doing nothing, working the whole day through”

Posted in Home at 9:59 am by JohnB

You know sometimes you have those days when you seem to have been working at stuff non-stop, but when you take a step back there’s not much to e seen?

I’ve had a few of those recently.

That’s, I think, one of the reasons my updates here have been less than frequent and today I made the promise to myself to change all of that. There have been more than a few occasions where I’ve had a mental rant about something and come to conclusions which should be shared, there have also been a few interesting things going on in the audio studio which have also been kept secret – no reason either. So here’s the deal, I’ll be updating here more regularly about the non- and semi-work related stuff going on and I’ll also be letting you know about the other projects too.

The Project List:

  1. Audio interface for iPhone to recording / mixing kit. This will be line-in and line-out from the IPOD interface, I can’t find anything out there some I’m going to make one. The point of this is to be able to take / make calls on the phone in the same way as I do for Skype, Live Meeting and other stuff, I’ll also be able to record calls for interviews etc.
  2. Audio interface for Xbox Live to recording / mixing kit. Taking the feed which would go to/from the Xbox Live headset connected to the controller and using the desk to drive both the mic input and the audio received from the Live gaming sessions. Same reasons as above really.
  3. Sell old bike, get new bike. I don’t think I’ve been fitter than when I was riding motorbikes, especially when I had the CR125 and did regular trips to practice tracks. With this in mind I’m going to be selling the Husqvarna SM610 and getting something I can use on and off-road. I’m thinking WR or DRZ at the moment, but it’ll depend on what’s around over the next couple of weeks.
  4. Update CV. It’s been a while since this document last had a tickle and I think now’s a good enough time to get that sorted out. I’m using iProfile too – kind of an online CV for agencies etc – so I’ll marry up the two and tick that box off!

As you may, or may not, know I’m also writing on a couple of other sites (Hosting Thoughts, Ready-Up) and that’ll continue too, along with the audio work here at Studio 13 for Rogue Productions. Plus the Twitter and Facebook nonsense as well.

Holy crap! With that AND work to do I’d better get started! :)
