on top of everything else, electing 100 greens in the east would be an absolutely great way to tell alberta to fuck off, wouldn't it?

the tory media is no doubt chagrined by this statement.

but, that's exactly why so many easterners are so happy about it.

the bastards over here are tired of drowning in the heat, and we may just have something to say about it. eh?

the liberals are supposed to do better than this

tipping point coming? tipping point coming?

let me hear both sides, let me hear both sides, let me hear both....

we're not fear mongering, this is really happening...

the liberals are supposed to do better than this.

so, i was supposed to get to work last night, as soon as i finished the cross-reference, which literally took 12 hours.

it's not that facebook needs to upgrade it's servers, it's that the scripts it runs are so remarkably inefficient, by design. it is really the only site i know of that is like this.

so, instead of sending you a solid stream of data, they set up a script that references a database - a process that requires handshakes - every couple of kilobytes. on first glance, it's moronic, until you realize that what's slowing the whole thing down is data collection. you have to wait for them to finish tracking you, which means updating however many logs in however many places, before you're allowed to receive the next packet.

so, if i want to scroll back through 1000 posts from 2019 to 2013 to make sure the information on the page is what i want it to be, it makes me reconnect with the database every ten posts or so, so it can keep track of what i'm doing, which is particularly stupid in my case because i run an ad blocker. facebook no doubt has a thousand page file on me, documenting all the times i didn't click on anything at all. it has to document all the non-clicking, which is painfully slow.

but, what can i say? i have to do the reference...

for right now, it makes more sense for me to spend the night working out show reviews than it does to spend the night on legal documents. as mentioned: i think this will be a very light month, show wise. so, let me work the list until the 15th or so down, anyways, before i get this writing done up.

so, it took me all night to get through the facebook cross-reference, because the site is just impossibly slow. in the mean time, i got distracted and republished my soundcloud page, for dj sets. the facebook cross-reference is at least done.

how do you get your music in the ears of people if you can't find a drummer? i don't like metal, and the punk scene is moribund in any meaningful sense (what is left of it is pretty much just garbage). there's no such thing as alternative rock anymore. so, i'm stuck choosing between folk and techno, and i'm far more techno than i am folk, even if i'm really neither.

i dunno. i see these djs around town that like to pretend they're doing serious art, and most (all) of them aren't. but, this is the medium, so what else is there to do besides deal with it?

i've got a few sets up to start. if i can get some people to bite, and can find a crowd, however small, willing to listen, then we go to the next stage from there.

the truth is that i should have done this a long time ago, actually.

the site is on the side, as well.

to be clear: i will not be voting for any of the candidates at the debate tonight, and consequently have no intention of wasting my time watching it.
