Re: guitar player's journal

2024 update 13/52 Dangerous ideas I am four chapters in reading Greager's "Debt: The First 5,000 Years". Reading anthropologists can be a dangerous exercise for me, can get too interesting. He's a good writer, some good frameworks in there. I am not sure I will manage to read the 'Bullshit...

Re: AE's Journal Round 6 - Navigating the Liminal Space

I’d say swap car for bicycle, then it will become much clearer what slow travelling itinerary to take. Downsizing so that this is possible would be a journey in and of itself :)

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

I’ll weave again the music theme to you journal’s jamming @jng. Thank you (and @loutfard) for ideas on recording software. I am using cakewalk now as it is free and I already have it installed. It is being phased out (in favour of paid version) at some unspecified point in the future. So I will be m...

Re: ERE City (US)

More generally, what do people here think of New Haven and thereabouts in terms of ERE friendliness? DW and I are talking some potential mid-term life plans.

Randomly, I only now learned that this is home to Yale University.

Re: guitar player's journal

Thanks @zbigi, @loutfard, @7w5! @zbigi, I think there rarely is a 'xyz monkey' job anymore. Even if a job boils down to it, there seems to me to always be an element of empty talking about more stuff which takes time and is a job in and of itself - that could and probably is already overtaken by LLM...

Thanks all! @ertyu, @Lemur - would be good to learn how to work with generative AI if it if out of scope to learn how to work on generative AI. @Lemur, yes I can see how people are not keen on dashboards, I am working on some now and there are so many dependencies on both data end and user end, you ...

Ah, pricey those visas. Yes, these are good alternative solutions. Conversely, there are alternative visas.

Re: ERE City (US)

Just thinking, is this breaking the law when one of you US EREites sets up an ERE company or a research institute type organisation and sponsors a European’s working visa on the basis of skill shortage?

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

Thanks @loutfard, and do you know / have any opinion on Cakewalk? Asking because meanwhile I managed to install it and integrate with my Line6 interface. Tried recording and sounds good. I should mention I am bound to Windows on this one as there are no Line6 drivers for Linux sadly. Regardless, @J&...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

@guitarplayer: That is achievable with email if everyone has their own recordings setup. There can be some file/ alignment issues, but I'm happy to help facilitate and participate if people are interested. @JnG what free software for recording music would you recommend? I have Line6 Pod UX2 and in ...

Re: JollyScot's Journey Starts

Yes, and I always found if hilarious that anywhere is easier than one's country of origin (which you will be well aware of @JollyScot). For example, before brexit my wife had a status of a family member of an EU national in the UK and this now concludes with both her and I getting the UK citizenship...

Re: Jobs are overrated

Thanks for sharing @dara. I think you could potentially be in a good position to try teaching English as a sort of hobby job to see how it goed, if you had not tried it yet. I know from chatting in my journal that you have objections towards teaching but also understand you are not completely dismis...

@Seppia I appreciate the attitude. Or do they just return as entitled consumers expecting a performing monkey up front. Yes from my experience this is the majority, looking at the exchanges on fora to do with my Maths and Stats degree and the module I am doing now. That university where I did the de...

Re: JollyScot's Journey Starts

People on the forum are a varied crowd hence these sorts of tactics will inevitably vary and also there will often be no across the board consensus on these. I resort to following journals and trying to see how trajectories align. For example, with @JollyScot I know that we have some commonalities i...

Your posts make me want to make my way to California off the back of my newest career in data analytics or that of DW in cybersecurity and then ditch these as quickly as possible to enjoy eternal sun and bounty of discarded goods in abundance of time.

Re: Shaz's journal

When I worked as a carer I was off from Tuesday 3pm to Friday 2 pm. This was brilliant for interacting with the uncrowded outside world. I wish this working pattern could be adopted other workplaces. And I think even in white collar / coding it would be great too as it would facilitate deep work on ...

Re: JollyScot's Journey Starts

At present our strategy is that the UK passport DW will get around May will be in use outside of Spain, and South American passport when to do with Spain. So now DW is applying for a working visa in Spain for her job in autumn with South American passport for example. Then if it comes to it, she wil...
