And that will do it for the first month of the year! Busy and it will only get busier! But productive. Still considering that Patreon angle, what is needed? SLV newsletter out, finally! New vids posted. And Jamuary... done! If the tracks aren't finally uploaded tonight Beijing time then they will be very shortly tomorrow! I'd like to reflect on writing 62 songs in the last two months but I'm not e...

Traffic sounds Beginning of the week and an end to a month Warming up for the short term at least Jamuary tracks up, coming to an end for this. February? Still unsure whether the idea I have will work. Video games, you play them? Looking into Unity platform and Unreal Engine. Just another thing to learn but things seem to have gotten easier. ChatGPT: is it as scary as some are saying? (Blocked in...

Fireworks! Have a listen after. Coffee substitute - why? Made with barley, figs n chicory... whatever that is. Then... found a store selling imported products, I guess the market has opened up again. Workouts - another 100 in, 4 miles, lost count of the push ups and squats. Post work workout: strapped the ankle weights on and donned the weight vest once again! Gets the heart rate up though doesn't...

The jam continues but we'll slow it down today. This one is like those meditation songs you hear at yoga studios or spas. They can often be played with one key on the keyboard.

Jamuary tracks were put up after last night's recording. Chinese class today, lots of writing and apparently I've improved. New video up on SLV reviewing my homework. Cold! -14 in the morning plus wind chill. Not much doing, though I don't mind staying in. Was thinking if I even have appropriate enough clothes to go to a place like Harbin.

Also want to do a review vid and an essential reading vid. Workouts done! Lunch time runn...

Sad news about Nepal plane crash. Scary and tragic. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of those on board. Trustworthiness of social media: say no to it, but how much can you make with your skills? Say yes to it but no guarantee of any success, which do you prefer?
