Spinning my wheels
I’m having issues. I’m recovered from some injuries that have built-up over the last few years. Broken arm (split my ulna from the elbow ‘cup’ down about halfway to my wrist). Couple of mild concussions. Several bad muscle strains/mild tears. Hyper-extended knee (yet again). Hip out of socket (yet again).
I think a lot of these (except for the concussions, broken arm and damage to my ulnar nerve) are due to working a very sedentary desk-job while trying to do things that I have always done.

They all work great for everything else, but when recording, I would get odd pauses or what sounded like the bitrate dropping. Flac, MP3, Ogg. . . all would give various issues. Most of the problems I tracked down to the Realtek chipsets. Some were just too random to troubleshoot. How do you troubleshoot something if you can’t reproduce it exactly?

I like Pie.
People who know me can expect to hear at some point in the day the following statement:
“I like [Pie, .py, pi]”
Depending on what is going through my head determines which one I mean. In the case of this post, I am referring to Pie.
Right now, I am speaking of “Southern Fried Chocolate Pie”, a specialty of my grandmother.
