Bleary eyed and wintered.

The works continues long into the darkness.

Audio begins to fall into place.

Work from early in the morning, drinking tea to keep the cold from your feet. Have a shower when the test match goes to the lunch interval.

Shamed into work I fiddle with sound under Linux. Specifically I play with aRts. It's nice. Just brain problems stopping me from progressing.

All good intention has gone in this wasteland of apathy.
