WTF. I got an affiliate payment today, meaning somebody somewhere used one of my links! 🤯 It's only $3.50, but that's 3.50 more than ever before!

Okay, after a few minor tweaks with fresh ears (which I can't believe I didn't notice before) it's finished and uploaded. Because I'm done waiting.

Hey internet, is this weird and funny and cool? I can't decide if I like it or if I just WANT to like it 😀

I'll say one thing about signing up to drive for this food bank. I'm getting a decent workout twice a week from unpacking freezers and fridges, and loading creates of food into our car 😅

"Choosin' Texas" is like country-by-numbers. The first time I heard it, I thought it actually was an old song the radio was playing. It's fairly unremarkable, but it is also (unfortunately) a real earworm.

While I let my (hopefully) final mix percolate for a couple of days, my brain has decided that it wants to jump back into my board game design. Probably because I was talking about it with friends on Friday night. I can't decide if this is good news or bad news.

I did the 9 games thing, although it could be different tomorrow. I've been around for so long that 9 isn't enough 😀

Apropos of nothing, I blame the rise of AI on the people who always type full sentence questions into search engines.

I'm now running 68 audio channels (so close!) with multiple effects on each, and my laptop is dying. I still need to record a few more, so I don't really want to start deleting any yet I case I need them! Time to start bouncing. This needs to be a huge global hit so I can buy a new machine 😅

I've done 3 trial citizenship tests and passed 2 of them, so I guess I'm already in decent shape.

Paul // Lost Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @lost.scot · 24/09/2026

On the plus side, after listening to this again, I'm happy to report that the new version is about 69% more thirsty.

Paul // Lost Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @lost.scot · 24/09/2026

I have decided (because I guess I hate myself and think I deserve to be punished) to start my Canadian citizenship application.

Paul // Lost Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @lost.scot · 23/09/2026

Okay, look. I just rewrote the entire middle 8. But wait! I was never really happy with the way it was before and this version is much better. I tried to add another bar to it, but that turned into a total disaster so the structure isn't changing. Just the lyrics. I swear it's nearly done.

Paul // Lost Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @lost.scot · 22/09/2026

I cleaned the kitchen and made some more song progress. I think that'll do for today.

It's so weird how, even though my new ADHD meds have been helping, a single night of bad sleep renders it completely useless. By which I mean I leaned down to check a cupboard for snacks about half a hour ago and I'm still sitting on the floor beside it.

Paul // Lost Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @lost.scot · 22/09/2026

Without knowing the time I can't commit to a co-stream, but they've got some great games on the list already so this will be worth a look!

Watch as all of the top-voted people end up on government watchlists as "potential dissenters" or something.

Paul // Lost Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @lost.scot · 21/09/2026

By "settlement" I assume they mean "bribe". Like they were ever going to follow through on their threat to leave California. This is going to be an absolute disaster for customers.

It's a great response. I also appreciate the irony of it being posted on the pro-child abuse, pro-Nazi website.

I usually suck at stealth games, and I don't know how stealth golf would work, but this looks like a good time!

Right, my wife and her friend have gone to the zoo with all of the kids. I have a few hours to myself. Do we think that I'll finally get this song produced, mixed and ready to actually upload by the time they come home?

Yikes. I've been a Converse fan for decades, but I'm super disappointed with that ad. I can't believe nobody in any of the teams saw what literally everyone else did, which does make me wonder if it was intentional. If it wasn't deliberate, then my question is what was it SUPPOSED to be?

021

Paul // Lost Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @lost.scot · 18/09/2026

Nah, I say let them cook. Keep humans away from this. Let the AI make mistakes, then iterate on those mistakes, then cascade into nothing but nonsense until it all needs to be shut down. A problem that solves itself!

I'm on my way to play my first game of basketball in over 2 years and I am unreasonably nervous.

Paul // Lost Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦 @lost.scot · 17/09/2026

Right, that's another 5 lead vocal takes and 6 backing. If this bloody song isn't done this time I'm never releasing the damn thing 🤣

Because procrastination is better than actually working on the song that's driving me crazy, I finally repaired (kind of) a chunk I took out of my Les Paul about 20 years ago. So that's something. Before & after (although the shine makes it hard to photo well):

I just asked Carl if he wanted to go for a walk. He got crazy excited, jumped off the sofa and ran to his bed (to wait for the leash). The second I attached it, he just laid down and would not move. Now I can't get him to budge at all, but he keeps looking at me and yapping. What even is this dog?

With the basketball season about to start, I thought I'd take a look at Raptors 905 tickets (the G league). The venue isn't easy to get to, but it's small so you can get really close to the action and tickets were about $70 last season. Currently $400 for decent seats!

Did you know you can keep this box - and this box ONLY - cold by just adding ice? Since when? What is this witchcraft? Cold ice? I was stunned to learn this. Absolutely shook. What next? Heat by just adding fire? I can't even... This joke has now run its course. Thanks for bearing with me.
