Update on things
Added 2023-06-13 01:18:18 +0000 UTCHello patrons!
Last time I wrote, I was going to upgrade my web server... and I did it. Mostly pain-free. There are some broken links and notation images, still. I will fix those, when I generate sufficient time and motivation. My plan is to replace some of the notation figures so they use Lilypond instead of Vexflow. I was having some really rotten performance from a mariadb database, so rather than spend more on a server with more RAM, I just cached all the things that could be cached and now everything is working great.
It's been a quiet time here. The free time I have for doing "music theory stuff" is pretty constrained, but still I've been answering reader email, and I did some significant work on a new chapter on the topic of "Spectrum Limitations". It's very rough right now. See the screen shot for a sample paragraph.
The real reason I haven't made much progress on the book is that I've had a ton of outdoor yard work to do; digging out an area and moving a few tons of dirt uphill using my stupid shovel and a wheelbarrow. And when I'm not exhausted by that, there are always other things taking my attention. Life! What an ordeal, right?
As usual, the patron support has covered the (slightly increased) cost of my upgraded web server, so all those scale property pages will stay up and I don't have to think about the financial burden of that little venture. THANK YOU.
I'll check in again in a month or two.
Cheers
Ian
