I accidentally bought a collective when I meant to get a cyclic. I was tired of how all joysticks in movies look like PC gaming joysticks. Which, I mean, they usually are.

So I got something else.Well. No, I mean it's a joystick for a simulator. But it's a better than average one. Yet. It's for the left hand rather than the right hand. But it does have the option of Cyrillic labels rather than Latin-character labels.
Tying Viol Frets. I thought it might be amusing to try with my electric cello.

Mirror is a plugin which faffs with the reported latency to a DAW to do reverse effects. I dunno if it's actually that useful, I think most DAWs have something like a macro which bliermergates files in reverse in a way that the process is more straightforward than it used to.

I'd like to groove you to Auburn Sounds -- I've been playing with their autotune-like plugin Grallion. Which is free, actually. Or, you can buy an upgrade it actually. But I've been using the free version as a VST2 plugin in OBS to autotune my very out-of-tune cello. As a live performance device.
And it totally works. Probably terrible for actually learning to play cello though. I do want fret lines on this thing.

Anywhoo it's kinda interesting that they use the Dplug open-source framework for developing. This intrigues me.
I sent in my changes to my thesis today. We'll see if/how many are accepted. My brain is basically a puddle of mush.
This is an excellent Fatoush salad recipe. I made it with pita that was too big, I should have chopped the pita up more than I did. Next time...

The trick is good ingredients. Pomegranate molasses and good sumac. I'm guessing some top-of-the-line cinnamon might have worked. I made it without tomatoes (because Todd doesn't like uncooked tomatoes) and without bell peppers (because I get really bad heartburn and reflux from bell peppers.) Heck, I'd make it without parsley at this point. Fried bread. That's the key.
