Is anybody else getting like eight million pieces of breast pump spam? I sure am. Akismet isn’t aware of this campaign yet, either, because it’s all going into the moderation queue. Most of it is normal, but a subset of it has informed me about a fetish I had not previously thought to contemplate, and which I will contemplate as little as possible in the future.<\/p>\n
Saturday we have Sarah Kellington of Pinniped<\/a> coming in to lend us her fiddle talents on one of our tracks – weather permitting, of course, which it may well not. Mixing and engineering work is moving along nicely; Ellen Eades (whose Facebook page appears to be unlinkable) was in for another round of recording on Tuesday, and I’ve been doing the pleasantly-simple comping and edits on that.<\/p>\n I had another follow-up with the surgeon, it went well; thankfully, that’s all I have to say about that this time. Even if all goes well, I won’t have proper vision back for three months, but it’s better than going blind. At least I’m getting work done!<\/p>\n If you missed it, I posted a final hint post for the Mystery Instrument, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, the only new thing I’ve seen today on the petition-to-SFWA flap is Kate Paulk rewriting history so fast the TARDIS can’t keep up<\/a>. There’s nothing really new in it, but there it is for you. There are several other trackbacks at the Radish Review post that reported it first<\/a>, if you’re really interested in following what are hopefully the last trailings of this gruesome farce.<\/p>\n eta:<\/b> If you’re new to this controversy, An Embarrassing Stumble Towards Irrelevancy<\/a> and A Horrible Group of People<\/a> should give you some background; plus, there are many<\/em> links in comments. The followup post is What is Being Lost<\/a>, posted Monday, 17 February 2014.<\/p>\n
