Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done

Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done.

I took the time to clean 8 Henry Mancini albums, so I could digitize my favorite cuts.
I sent the signal to a CD burner. All was going well, though I had my volume down so I could preview the following albums. Eventually I’d gone through the remaining albums, so I turned the volume back up. Hmmm, that bongo player sure is good, and damn, what fast hands!.  I don’t remember ‘Baby Elephant Walk’ being so fast paced..oh well, just getting old I guess.

On cut 24 I accidentally hit the head shell with my elbow, which made me look down and notice…I’d spent the last 2 hours recording everything at 45rpm. What a doofus. Surprise, some of the cuts sound better that way!

Good one. That sounds like something I would do. I always try to get stuff done quickly… especially when I was young, I would always get going too quick. Then I was put in charge of software development… wow… that stopped me dead in my tracks and made me stop everyone that worked for me from doing anything until we were sure we understood why. Programmers like me wanted to get going… great way to do useless stuff.

 

I am sure I have wasted dozens of hours ripping disks only to find the default during an upgrade went back to lossy compression… having to do it over again.
