mistakes and GPS


This morning I discovered that the end titles for ep 17 actually say '18' instead. I did this by mistake because I was working on ep 18 at the same time (just as there is an overlap this week between 18 and 19). I must admit I find these kinds of mistakes a little dispiriting. Firstly because it means I will have to go back and re-render (I'm lazy and by the principle of the thing I don't like going back to old projects), and secondly I feel incompetent because I missed something so simple.
Recently my partner told me about the GPS theory of life: that when you make a wrong turn GPS machines don't go off the handle at you, but calmly reorientate you back to the correct path. Its funny that such good advise comes from a machine.

This weeks ep is falling behind a bit. I've decided to concentrate a little more on the sound design. In turn this means some fundamental retraining of the software instruments I use to create that music. Its worth a little delay.
