good news and bad news.
the bad news is that i just
lost my screen on my backup laptop. it's been flickering for a few days.
so it's not unexpected. and i can see the screen if i look closely
enough, so it seems to just be the light that's out. this is essentially
the same thing that happened to my main laptop, so i'm suspecting that
it's a power issue in the unit. i may learn, once i've moved, that a lot
of the problems i've been having down here are from bad wiring.
when
i rebuild my access point, it's going to be on a desktop. but, i'm
going to need to have a laptop of some sort. i was hoping it would be
this one...i'll have to see what it costs to fix it...
for right now, there's not much to do besides send the signal out to a monitor.
the
good news is that i'm finished with inri061 and will be spending the
rest of the night doing the write-up for it, with the intent to ship in
the afternoon.

so, i got my first print with the new ink done, and it actually seems to be a little more accurate than the official ink.
so, i'm not worried about quality.
but, i'm a little concerned about leakage, and will have to keep an eye on it.
right now, it seems fine. let's hope i can at least get through the month with it.
and, i'll have to keep track of the exact number of pages i print, as well. even if i only get the same 50 i got last time, i'm paying $20 this time instead of $100, so, it's down into a more reasonable price. and, if i get 100, it's closer to what i initially budgeted for. so, as long as it doesn't leak, this is probably a permanent solution.
the main black ink is supposedly out, too, after something like 30 pages. that's laughable - there must be ink left in the cartridge. so, i guess i'm putting all these cartridges aside for later, to figure out how to get the remaining ink out of them.
right now, i'm going to eat and get back to inri061. 60 is now ready to ship. i could potentially get this out on sunday.

yeah, my ink's in windsor. but, my mailwoman just always leaves the slip. that's fine, i can get it tomorrow.
getting it today wouldn't help much, as i'm going to need another for 61. but, it looks like i'm expanding this to a third disc by adding some further orchestral reworkings, a percussion mix and maybe a drone mix, to start with. i got the string mix done this morning, and i'm happy with it, but it's bed time.

my ink might be here tomorrow, actually. have to keep an eye
on that. if so, i could ship as early as saturday. if not, it's looking
like it will probably be tuesday.
i wanted to ship more today, but i was only able to get inri058 out. that's the 4 cd set. it's shipped.
my drop by odsp was a little underwhelming, but only in the sense of it not being at all formal. i had to write a request by hand. i'll probably type something up before tuesday. i know this is all discretionary, but the situation is rather ridiculous; i can't afford to pay a mover, so if i can't move the furniture then i'll have to leave it here and then go to charity to get more furniture. and, i'd guess that the owners of this place will probably end up donating this furniture to charity. that would be kind of outrageously stupid, right? in the end, the city ends up paying for the moving costs, anyways. but, i know better than to expect pristine logic from the city.
i updated my accounting to reflect the price i actually paid for ink over the last two years, and it makes less of a difference than i thought, overall - my profit decreased from $42 to $34, and sean's went from $6 to $4.50. it's disappointing, but not catastrophic. most of the records i've sold don't have sean on them; i'm actually splitting things 50/50. but, if i get 50 pages out of $20 ink, it's closer to the profit margin i expected.
the actual truth is that i still haven't covered start-up costs.
i'm otherwise fed and am in or the weekend, so i'm going to shower and get to work on inri061. i'm hoping this is the last stretch before i get to the compilations next week.

so, i'm about to get back to work for a few hours over night, but what did i do today?
i gave odsp a call when i woke up this afternoon and realized that i'm going to have to go in and talk to somebody tomorrow. my worker's not in this week. but, i need to get the forms running. and, i need to do that before i call about utilities and estimating moving costs. if i can just get the forms tomorrow and bring them in on tuesday, i'll be happy with that.
after the saga of serving the appeal last week, which was largely a consequence of not being able to find the right tube for my bicycle, i had to make sure i got the thing right, so i went down to the local bicycle store and grilled him on what i needed. with my rain jacket, i maybe seemed a little like the spanish inquisition - but i called ahead, so he had what i needed there when i got there. he talked me into buying a tire. i didn't need a lot of convincing, because i'm going to need a new tire eventually anyways, right? or, to put it another way: i can always use a spare tire.
we can all always use a spare tire.
they should put that on the side of the space shuttles. it's maybe the closest thing to a universal human truth that i've ever fucking seen. really.
anyways.
what was the problem with the tube i got at canadian tire last week - not once, but twice? see, i showed it to the guy and he said my tire must have some glass in it because it's ripped. that's why i bought a tire.
we can all always use a spare tire.
but, i think it actually ripped on the rim, because it didn't fit right. the first one just inflated into it. and the second one felt like i was riding a balloon animal for a few seconds before it popped. it just didn't fit. that's all there is to it.
i actually got the technically correct correct tubes, this time. see, i'd been hacking out a 28-32 for i don't know how long. the tubes that burst were 23-28, and they were floppy. i should have actually been using 38s the whole time. imagine that. hrmmn.
after a brief stop at the grocery store (with the tire around my neck), i went home and fixed the tire - and fixed it is, yes. i took it out for a spin to make sure. i'm good to go.
so, at the end of the ordeal, i ended up spending a total of about $70 and i got a working bike pump, a spare tire and a spare tube out of it, in addition to getting the thing working. about $15 of that disappeared on bad tubes. but, i learned something from it.
i didn't sit down to eat until close to 9:00, and i had to do dishes and clean up in here after all of that. but i'm ready to finish the cover art for the second mp3 disc and get back to the rest of it after that.
i might be able to print in grey scale, but i have to wait until the ink gets here before i can print the rest of the covers. so, i'm going to go ahead and make the actual discs, and then see if i can print greyscale on them or not. either way, everything should be ready to go when the ink gets here.
and, i should be able to get around and do some things on my bicycle in the morning.

so, i bought some cheap ink.
it's high yield for $20. the last package i bought was normal yield for $80. so, this could be less than 1/5th of the price.
i know that there are risks involved with this. i'm feeling like i need to take them.
it should be here before wednesday. and, the truth is that i won't be totally done by then, anyways.
so, i'll hold off on jacking up the price, for now. let's see what i get out of this.
it's 7:00. wow. lol.

it's 7:00. wow. lol.
i may have less ink in there than i thought.
i think it's worse than that.
1) the size of the cartridges is steadily decreasing.
2) they base their metrics on very minimal coverage, and cover art tends to be very ink heavy. if they say you get 500 pages at 5% coverage and i'm printing at 50% coverage, each page i'm printing is 10 pages in the metrics. so, i'm only getting 50 pages, but it's fifty pages at ten times the metric - and there's your 500 pages.
i'm going to look for something more efficient. but, i think the reality is just that the price of ink is extremely high, and if you want a package like this it's going to cost me some money to make it.
again: it's not so so bad, really.
maybe i lowballed the cost.

maybe i lowballed the cost.
i still have a lot of extra cash.
maybe i can do some research into a more efficient printer, before i boost these prices too far.
$15 canadian for an lp is still pretty good. and most of my eps are lp length. $12 isn't too bad at all.
but, i have the prices low for a reason. and i don't really want to have the downloads priced differently than the physical media.

my printer is out of colour ink, already.
that's about 40-50 pages printed, for an $80 cartridge - meaning it costs $2/page. and, if the disc has a front and a back, it's costing me $4-5 in ink per disc.
i had to do the experiment to figure it out. and, these are the results.
they're outrageous...
i can't sell eps for $7 if i'm spending $5 in ink. based on some basic research, i had ballparked $0.15/disc. so, i'm either going to have to find a cheaper source of ink, or i'm going to have to increase the price.
my estimated static costs were $1.75/disc, meaning that i was clearing $5.25 on an ep and $8.25 on an lp. if my static costs are now $6.45/disc, i'd need to charge $12 for an ep and $15 for an lp to balance out the costs.
i think that's unreasonable.
so, i'm going to have to search for a cheaper source of ink.
i know that the printer cartridge is not out. it has a chip in it. but, i have to find a way around it. maybe i can trick the machine into finishing off the cartridge, to start.

i missed st. vincent tonight. everything else aside, it's a big
venue, and i just don't enjoy big venue shows. i haven't heard the new
record yet, but the lead tracks were underwhelming. and, i get the
impression that she's intending to tone it down a little. i'd like to
hear what she has to offer on the other side of mellowing out a little
in the context of something more orchestral, but i'm not going to get
too excited about an americana phase. i guess i'm waiting that out. i
hope it doesn't take too long. but, i'll give the new record a chance
when i get time to, too.
john mclaughlin is tomorrow night and it's tempting but i don't even know if he's actually playing it. the way he's talking about it is that he's hanging out on stage while somebody else is actually playing. and, he's 75 years old - i can't fault him for not being able to play this material, anymore. this is tough guitar work. but, i'm apprehensive about going all the way to ann arbor if he's not even playing. i'm going to try and find some footage. it's possible.
i've just never seen him play, and if this is my last chance then this is my last chance. but, it's a journey there and back, and i need to make sure it's worth it.

this is two conceptually linked outtakes from mid 2002 that document an event that i'm going to be vague and obscure about.
written in august, 2002. track one was mildly remixed on dec 12, 2014; two and three were uploaded unmodified. final completion date is dec 12, 2014. as always, please use headphones.
the lead track appears without vocals on my seventh record:
jasonparent.bandcamp.com/album/ftaa
this release also includes a printable jewel case insert and will also eventually include a comprehensive package of journal entries from all phases of production (2002, 2014, 2017).

something
like this would have been the demo brought along on an acoustic tour
that never happened. tracks 1-4 would have represented a live set over
the summer of 2002, while tracks five and six are otherwise stranded
acoustic demos (and may have been played as encores, where possible).
the style could be broadly categorized as folk punk, but it also leans
heavily towards the emo of the period.

i haven't printed yet. there's a stench in the other room. i'm hoping it's gone by the time i wake up.
instead, i finished all of the facebook stuff up to inri063 - and i don't expect to add anything to any of these, but we'll see how it unfolds.
this should be a quick run through over the next week or two. and, then i'm caught up.
i'll get back at it when i wake up.

so, i'm finally done typing up the liner notes on this thing. i did a lot of second guessing, but i'm done with it.
i'm going to need to eat, first.
after that, i'll distribute it over facebook, do the actual liner notes and print it.
it's a civic holiday here tomorrow, so i'll have to wait until tuesday to ship. but it should be ready to go, a least.
tuesday should be a busy day, as i'll need to get groceries & get my bike fixed & call around about utilities & odsp, as well.
59 & 60 will be fast, but it looks like i'm going to have to do an aleph run after 60 so i probably won't get the next package done by tuesday. the next package will be 60 & 62 when it's ready to go, maybe by friday.
