March update?
Mar. 13th, 2016 03:57 pmA few updates...
I have been extremely ill (chest infection moving into my sinuses and ears... antibiotic resistant, probably a little closer to dying that I would like, vast swaths of the past few months are a barely remembered hazy blur... I'm mostly deaf at the moment, but the doctors say it will eventually clear up and that there's no nerve damage or problems with the basic functioning of my ear apparatus, just gunk that's preventing me from hearing... hopefully will get an appointment with an ENT specialist in the next week), although I have apparently maintained basic functionality somehow (and more mysteriously, an A average in school), but have really fallen flat on my face in other areas (like my physics research and house-related stuff, although the latter is still not too bad, just behind). Other than that...
Our Kickstarter failed, so the plan is to just bring Midnight Stranger out as a "hand cobbled" thing, but it will give us the code we need to do more productions or start working on more generic tools.
You can listen to a radio interview with me and Jeff on CBC Radio One (I did pretty well considering I was nearly deaf and barely coherent... good thing we each had our own individual headphone volume controls!): http://www.cbc.ca/player/AudioMobile/All+in+a+Day/ID/2685006477/
There's a nifty (if cursory) article on the CBC News website here: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/return-midnight-stranger-1.3483812
I engineered my first ever live streaming event on YouTube (with Jeff Green playing Midnight Stranger). It was fun, I think I will do more (I bought a year-long software license, so it's entirely possible), but maybe more along the lines of solving physics problems ... I can already hear people running away with great vigour ;).
I also did two solo radio interviews on CKCU:
"Wednesday Special Blend" (Feb. 24, 2016): [jump to 71:37 for the segment] http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/82/26069.html
"Thursday Morning Special Blend" (Mar. 3, 2016): [jump to 45:50 for the segment] http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/100/26176.html
(you can, of course, listen to me until your ears drool out your brain... or is it visa versa? on my feminism/science/music show "The Passionate Friar", every Wednesday morning or "on demand" anytime: http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/371/info.html)
Finally, I am going to be a properly published physicist larva, err physicist. On May 1, 2016 in Volume 817 of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A (NIMA), pages 85–92: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168900216001285
Now, to go back to bed for a while... O_o
