Arduous duino

Quite a few days.

Rejected by Dolby after a two week wait after a two hour interview. Sucks but there are still some other jobs simmering. That was Friday, headed straight out to Conation/Pure Evil/Lungs/Nice Guys. Sound wasn't great (so much KICK) but Pure Evil seem really interesting and Conation were really good even if I felt left out as people were digging it HARD.

I then skipped a bunch of good shows and saw Firewitch at Red Rattler. Can't really express in words how incredible this band is. Apparently they are back together after a hiatus. That is good news. Very good news.

Still with the Wii Nunchuck Noise Swash (needs a catchy name methinks). Struggling with the Arduino controller until this morning. Breakthrough!!! SPI doesn't seem to work, so did it by hand thanks to interweb info/skillz. Now the Wii Nunchuck controls the digital potentiometers. All I need to do now is replace a couple of connection in the swash and blammo.

Better post a video soon ay?
