burning disks

twenty-eight years and a million words

I've filled five of the 100GB disks with media and other stuff from my Dropbox account. And I made a duplicate of each. It turns out that the "slim line" burner I bought is really sensitive to jostling so some of the files didn't write properly but this is why I make spares.

Happily this is the kind of thing I can do with my personal laptop while working endlessly on my company laptop. Now I'm ready to go back to a non-paid account on Dropbox. $US250 a year indeed!

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
