I don’t often get the Sunday Blues. But, this Labor Day evening? Serious Monday Blues. Something about the cooler weather and a premonition that this week was going to be a shit show on several fronts reminded me of the dread I always felt the evening before the first day of school. Though, as with school, this week wasn’t all that bad.

The highlight of the week (it’s good to have low expectations sometimes): I finally figured out how to run two Jamulus clients on my Mac. Hundreds of others have managed to do this without much effort, but it was a challenge for me. We tested the new setup on a Thursday jam–thumbs up all around. There’s a step-by-step guide here: How To Run Multiple Jamulus Clients on a Mac. I wrote it mostly for one of my fellow jam mates; why not put it out there for others?

The big news this week was, of course, the New Jersey earthquake that shook the region. I learned two things:

  1. I didn’t know what to do in the moment. I resorted to looking at my coworker in bewilderment. Now I know to dive under my desk–and be prepared to move with it.
  2. “I survived the insert event here of 20XX” t-shirts can be marketed before the event is over–no matter how short said event may be.

Now for some nostalgia. Remember Coin? No, not Coinbase or Bitcoin, but the all-in-one, electronic credit card. I found mine in a drawer, surprisingly it still turns on. However, all the cards in it are expired. Coin shut down in 2017. It was a cool idea, but not quite as cool or convenient as paying with a phone, which has become commonplace now.
