so, i've got inri015 filed away locally, now.

i'm going to make some pasta and watch last night's debate.

and, then, if i'm lucky, i might get the first part of inri021 up before midnight.
beethoven wrote 9 symphonies, one opera, five piano concertos and a number of smaller works.

i essentially have 9 proper records completed, with about as many symphonies (which overlap with the records) and a number of smaller works.

i make it clear at every opportunity that i am approaching this as something that will exist historically, that will outlive me and that will be listened to many years into the future.

so, when i speak of revising my records, and documenting doing so, it is with an eye to the future.

inri015 updated and tested

this is tested and working on the chromebook and on firefox on the windows 7 box.

what's in there, now?

- the 19 songs on the record
- cover.jpg & a jpg of the backsheet for cd-r printing (the insert for the spine)
- a playlist.m3u file stored as raw text
- inertia.mp4
- a 125 page doc file of liner notes over the fall of 2013
- a 125 page pdf file (same)
- an instructions file
- inri015.html.7z.txt is a 200 mb document that must be renamed and unzipped and contains (1) an html version of the liner note package, including an html5 player that can load the purchased audio & video in the browser and (2) deleted masters of the record from 1998 and 2013, in standalone 192 kbps mp3 and embedded into the html file.

the full download, in flac, is 626 mb.

there will be further updates to the liner notes as i run through the alter-reality, and as i run through the remastering period that took place over 2015-2016. but, this is likely the last major revision to my first record, which is nearing a point of final completion.


it's time to stop to eat and shower.
there is no such thing as happiness, and, the sooner you figure that out, the happier you'll be.
so, the frontend is finished. everything is slower than i want it to be, but i could still conceivably get done inri021 by the end of the weekend. finishing inri015 actually gets me through the bulk of the work of inri021...

i had to fast forward a little to jan, 2016 to get the actual release data in, which means these releases will come packaged with three versions and three subsequent front-ends. they're about 125 pages, each. so, these are major release updates for the first two official records.

i need to dot some is before i upload this, including doing a good testing, but it's coming. soon.
you would have to tie me down and inject me, kicking and screaming, to get me to take that shit.

there's no way i'd volunteer. ever.
the "field" that jordan peterson "works" within was debunked as complete and utterly nonsensical pseudoscience decades ago.

i know he sells a lot of books. but, he doesn't really deserve to be taken seriously enough to dedicate much time towards rebutting him.
ahahahahahahaha.

no wonder he needs those benzos.

wasn't it common knowledge that his writing was kind of, umm, subpar? i mean, he's pushing freud and jung in 2020. that puts him on about the same level of academic credibility as your average creationist. it's a lot of fucking bullshit.

i've been asked to address his writing a few times, and i won't even bother with it, it's just a waste of time.

it's funny how they all end up addicted to painkillers though, isn't it? 

i'm a bit of an existentialist, and am convinced that we're better off coping with the tragedy of existence than pretending there's some path to some concept of happiness that doesn't actually exist. so, you won't see me smile very often, and you won't hear me pretend i'm ass-slappin' happy all that often. but, i don't intend to show up in a hospital bed in russia, strung out on benzos, either..... 

i had to sleep. it wasn't a choice.

it's almost done. soon.
