In a #WeirdDream from last night, I released the EchoTalk source code under the Yih Yih Yih Yih Yih License (no, don't ask, I don't know either). It's basically the same as the 3-clause BSD license, except that it has some very strange terms, like that the project must have a text file with a story about three little dentists, two of whom have noses and the third one doesn't. As I recall, the Makefile I bundled with the project would actually check to make sure the file was present and valid, and
refuse to build if it wasn't.

I had a #WeirdDream that I was playing my Hammond XK-2 in the pouring rain. I kept thinking "this is a really bad idea, it will short out and do stupid stuff", but it never did, and I woke up very confused, thinking about fuses and circuit diagrams.

I was rewinding through an old tape, and suddenly, clear as day, I heard a voice saying "Press 2 now." The tape was recorded from the radio, and the "Press 2 now" clip was reversed and slowed down significantly, then overlayed in the background at the start of a song. #WeirdDream

Had a #WeirdDream where I...Shat out a bone. ...Yeah, I dunno either.

NASA gave me "Ultimate Command" over the International Space Station computers. So naturally, I added myself and some of my friends to the crew roster. Also quite naturally, I used the Challenger shuttle I had in an extra bedroom to take us there and back. A very strange #WeirdDream brought to me by the fact that I just read a book largely set on the International Space Station, then read about that station on Wikipedia yesterday. Also no clue why the shuttle I had in that bedroom was specifically Challenger, as everyone knows what happened to that shuttle.

In another #WeirdDream which should interest @kd6cae @BorrisInABox and others, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) posted a job opening. Apparently they wanted someone to sit in front of a microphone and humm, yell, or otherwise use their mouth/vocal cords/etc. to generate the various audio frequencies used in radio station WWV/WWVH broadcasts. I recall trying to calculate how much audio each person would be responsible for generating. The person humming at 100 Hz, the frequency of the BCD timecode, would be generating audio for fifty-nine out of every sixty seconds, whereas the person probably yelling or screaming to generate the 1500 Hz used at the top of each hour would only be responsible for about 800 milliseconds of audio each hour.

I had a few weird dreams last night. In one of these dreams, several years ago my parents had bought me a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer for my birthday, and paid good money to have its owner's manual recorded onto several cassette tapes (I have no idea what kind of manual(s) the DX7 comes with, so I have no idea how accurate this is or isn't). Anyway the tape manual was in the type of container that cassette talking books came in. I recently realized that this tape manual ended up in a certain garbage bag, and I didn't bring it with us when we moved. I was convinced my parents were going to be mad at me. Oops! #WeirdDream

Edited a weird old dream entry: two dudes, half-socks, a green department store, archaic vocabulary, questionable adolescent phrasing, & the haunting possibility that embarrassment is just loneliness trying to get noticed.

Wow weird dream last night.

My favourite gaming cafe closes in 2 weeks - just to set the scene.

Whilst all the building works are continuing on the house the kitchen isn't really that usable - so I said to @thing "let's pop to Extra Life" for dinner.

We drove up there and all the junction had changed - and the cafe had closed and reopened as a pretentious wine bar taking in the unit next door so they had the views of the roundabout (there isn't a unit next door - this is the funny bit!)

We were sat at a table and Thing stood up to go to the bar. When she came back and went to sit down someone took the bench seat she was sat on.

I was horrified that Mike & Rachel (the owners of Extra Life) did nothing - and when I asked them why they said "he's our landlord and we don't want kicking out". To add insult to injury we got a parking ticket despite paying and still being in time - which is odd as there's no parking there.

It was a really really weird and lucid dream.

there was some kind of illness or phenomenon that spread in ways nobody understood, and when someone caught it, they go unconscious for some time, and wake up as if nothing beyond a point in 2021 occurred. They weren’t confused; they just woke up continuing that point in 2021 in their mind. I was the designated recovery therapist for ones in my family that caught it, as well as other members and friends who were not affected, but understandably devastated because the other person doesn't have that history of 5 years with them anymore. I was trying to explain that You can narrate to someone what happened to their life in the missing years, but that does not recreate the feeling of having lived them, and full recovery is impossible. I was creating a recovery program that focused on helping people acclimate with the situation, and trying to quarantine the condition.
My dreams are often highly specific and cohesive. I wish I was that creative in waking life!

@BorrisInABox If I hadn't seen it myself, I'd wondered if you forgot to put a #WeirdDream hashtag.

I woke up and I had to type this out before I lost it.

I look at the fireworks show that has become 
of my life and call each spark and sparkle
something different, divorced from me
as if I were watching the show on a field 
on the 4th of July 
and it isn't my own life that keeps exploding -

#WeirdDream time again.

This time, it was sort of a self-documentation kind of thing, in which I was asking myself:

"Hey, remember when you turned 18? You got that Puddle of Mud CD for your birthday. It was the single greatest thing that ever happened to you.

You would go on to graduate high school in three days, and then your life as a young man would truly begin. All-the-while, the anthem to your future success playS.

"She fucking hates me
Trust
, she fucking hates me
La-la-la-love
I tried too hard

And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away"

WHAT THE HELL, BRAIN? BUT ALSO, HMM... MAYBE.

According to a #WeirdDream I had last nnight, Vox has just released a new delay module, which is Eurorack compatible. It's called the Vox DU-105 TinyDelay, with a maximum delay time of 24 milliseconds.

Please, someone, remind me not to work on JJ Flex right before bed while I'm on this unnamed medicine I'm on. Apparently I had JJ flex Radio hooked up to a blender / voice processor unit to increase filter preset tonality, all while making grape juice. You see, the blender turned on when you pressed PTT, but kept fizzing over for some unknown reason, maybe the ALC was set too hot, and big pieces of grape kept shooting across the room at varying speeds based on filter band presets. No, I had no grape juice before bed, all I did was work on a race condition bug that caused a lsb filter setting / filter command issued at the low eend of the band to literally render the radio slice unable unusable until you closed the software. The bug is fixed now, so I have no idea what the hell happened there but anyway. If anyone changes filters on your Flex while using JJ Flex, think of me and this stupid dream I just had. Yep. Now I have to figure out how to fall asleep again after … that. #WeirdDream #HamRadio #JJFlex #HelpMeNow

My best friend’s 12-year-old niece was holding a “smart” sippy cup filled with water. Suddenly I heard water spilling.
Then there was a long, soft chime — not sleigh bells, but those delicate, magical wind-chime tones you hear in Christmas decorations or fantasy scenes.
Then a happy, calm American male voice said:
“Attention! Your sippy cup is punctured.”

When the power came back, I was in that half-awake, half-asleep stage. I think my subconscious knew the generator had shut down, but I actually incorporated it into a dream I suddenly had. In my dream, I was sitting in my chair, not lying in bed, and utility power returned. I checked the time (I think it was around 10:02 or 10:22 or some such in my dream), and was all happy. Then, as dreams often do, mine degenerated into silliness. I realized that my humidifier across the room was making a weird sound sort of like the introduction to the song "Love me Not" by Ravyn Lenae (intro attached so you'll know what I'm talking about). But it was too fast, and at too high of a pitch. In my dream, this was a normal sound for my humidifier to make, just not that fast and high pitched. Obvious conclusion: we were getting too much voltage, and needed to somehow shut everything down immediately so we wouldn't fry anything. Just as my dad was coming down the stairs presumably to alert me to this or ask what was going on, I woke up and thought to myself, "Hmmm…seems awful quiet right now…Oh wait, did the power come on for real?" And of course it had. #WeirdDream

Last night, I had a #weirdDream about a new product announced at NAMM, called the Absorbian. It was basically this dense, compact cube that had two handles you pulled apart, and it expanded into about a 8x8x8 block that completely absorbed any sound around it. Perfect for recording clean vocals in a busy industrial wearhouse, but small enough when folded that you could easily carry it in a purse. It was hollow in the middle, so you put whatever you wanted isolated inside the cube once expanded.

I was apparently arrested at age 20 for committing arson, killing 8 out of 10 people in a building. It was ruled self-defense, as I was escaping a horrible situation.

I was apparently traumatized by this whole deal, and had to live in a group home, where I met a girl who also murdered in self-defense.

Things were going well.

Just as we were really starting to get to know each other, I woke up, and the dog was frantically barking about something, so I guess I'll never know how things turned out.

I was on my bus to school. Usually, we pass a paper mill and it can sometimes bring a bad smell. On this day, it got so bad that the buss had to pull over and we had to go to school in squad cars. #WeirdDream

Dreamt that I was searching for a plant- a special one that was a graft or hybrid. Eventually met a guy in a huge bazaar who told me the secret to making my own: you need to plant a second hand suit, of which he just happened to be a purveyor. Apparently when you do it sprouts roots. So I bought quite a natty one, all mustard with orange and red pattern.

We're a bunch of NVDA fanboys. What should we call ourselves?

Hey, I know.... How about NVDA Invokers.

No, that sounds kind of pretentious. Maybe we can shorten it to NVD Oakers.

Nah, that's too much like mediocre.

Dear Diary, or whatever passes for it these days:

I'm currently sitting in a park. It's a lovely spring day, with a gentle breeze. The birds are chirping, the air smells clean, and there are some kids playing. It's peaceful. Perhaps it's too peaceful.

I feel like I'm supposed to disturb that peace, perhaps by blowing something up, or setting the grass on fire. I feel like, if I don't do this, everything will remain unbalanced.
Is this normal?

For some reason, Steve Jobs decided to travel back to the year 1982 and unvail the iPhone at a New York Yankees game, which I was at with my grandfather somehow. Never mind that he hated the yankees, this was two years before I was born, and I don't care about baseball.

Anyway, while we were there, I met this very northern British bloke who asked me if I knew someone called Kara Cogent, a blind woman who would open a sports club in about 43 years. I told him that I did, and I was so shocked about the entire thing that I sat up in my bed, waking up in a dorm room where @KaraLG84 was sleeping. So then I had to explain the whole thing to her and how weird it was.

I recently went to a doctor's office. The place was modern in every way, except that although their patient records were computerized, each patient's chart was stored on an 8-track tape. #WeirdDream

My parents and I attended a convention of a barbershop harmony organization, no idea which one. This was on a cruise ship of some kind. At the beginning, each attendee was required to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I later figured out that these sandwiches were drugged. The organization knew that the first night's quartet and/or chorus entertainment was not the best, so the sandwiches somehow made it so the attendees enjoyed it more than they otherwise would have. #WeirdDream
