If I had to sum up 2010 in a word, it would be "new". Or possibly "change". It certainly felt like a transitional year.<\/p>\n

Back at around tax season, I went LCD and bought myself a new computer monitor and television. The monitor gave me enough desk space to move my mixer front and center, while the television made me realize just how behind the times I was in terms of entertainment options. The fact I can hook my old computer up to the television with a VGA cable blew my mind — and VGA is so 2005.<\/p>\n

I’m not quite ready to jump on the Bluray bandwagon just yet, especially since I have a collection that includes DVDs from multiple regions. I don’t want to end up with something that can’t play my Cocco music videos. But it’s nearly a year, and I still need to upgrade my TiVo.<\/p>\n

In July, I got myself a new job, and with it, a few new skills. No longer am I dependent on phpMyAdmin — the MySQL command line is no longer daunting to me. I also get the XKCD joke about "sudo make me a sandwich<\/a>".<\/p>\n

The job also put me in a position where I had to work within a codebase not designed by myself. I still don’t have a mental picture of all the moving parts in this application, but I do get a sense the design complexity. The code itself is a mess, but the application runs pretty well in spite of it.<\/p>\n

The new job allowed me to get a new computer, which in turn let me upgrade a whole bunch of software and to invest in others. As a result, my demos sound closer to final drafts than they ever have, despite the fact I suck at playing guitar. Perhaps in the future I’ll be able to record a concept album akin to \u300c\u52a0\u723e\u57fa \u7cbe\u6db2 \u6817\u30ce\u82b1\u300d<\/span> by \u690e\u540d\u6797\u6a8e<\/a> or In the Aeroplane Over the Sea<\/em> by Neutral Milk Hotel. Or maybe a symphonic work. I’ve got the sample library to do it.<\/p>\n

All these "new" things makes me think 2010 was the start of some sort of transformation. Into what? I’m not sure.<\/p>\n

I guess that’s what 2011 is for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
