Morning everyone. Not a particularly happy morning for me. Apart from feeling rubbish and oh so tired, I have this year's bullshit appraisal meeting at ten.

I used to get very anxious about these, but now they just annoy the hell out of me. It's meaningless; I have to pretend that I've developed professionally and plan to make significant career progress in the next twelve months, when there's no possibility for either (and I've spent all my time dealing with data problems).

At least the senior colleague who's doing the appraisal knows that this is the case.

@RolloTreadway Just remember; You’re still getting paid.

That little adage has run through my mind an awful lot these past few years, when thigns have felt shitty at work. I know there’s more to working than that, but sometimes you have to remind yourself.

Anyway, morning, champions!

How are you all on this shitty, wet Tuesday?

@ItsThatDeafGuy That sounds like a perfectly cromulent way to spend your day.

It’s a shame there are no decent alternatives to Mixcloud, because it’s a bucket of hot dog shit really.

See how you can’t download your own shows once you uploaded them. Not officially, any way. I’m currently making space on my free account by using a hooky website to download my own stuff.

Also, I spend a good fifteen minutes tagging each track and making sure the site knows what I played and when, only for that information to be completely unavailable to the listener.

Hmm, my MacBook will not allow me to upload files in a browser. Neither Safari nor Firefox will let me upload my show recording to LABR's Droppy folder.

Same happened last week. Won't let me upload to Mixcloud either. I'm having to transfer it to my iPad, then upload it from there, which is stupid.

Well, I hope you enjoyed listening as much as I enjoyed playing.

Same again next week 👍🏽

I don’t wish to jinx anything, but I’ve managed to go the whole show so far without fucking anything up…

This version of Animal is the remix used for the theme to Friday Night Dinner. It is a banger.

@mixxx Hey. Is it possible to disable the tips that pop up when you hover over an element?

@mixxx Cheers!

@mixxx Thanks again. I have no idea how I missed this. I’ve been through the preferences over and over and somehow glossed over the option…

One of the nice things about listening to @labr while cooking dinner is not having to break for the news.

There’s a lot to be said for this.

Nobody can say I don’t use my iPad Pro 😝 I’ve been working with Final Cut Pro on the go all week (on an unsupported iPad, no less), with about a hundred gigabytes of 4K60 drone footage

@stroughtonsmith How are you running it on an unsupported iPad?

If this had happened in the movie, the dinosaurs would have escaped immediately, while the humans died horrible, painful deaths. https://botsin.space/@lexknowssystems/112513018278238626

I have to get new glasses but I’m not sure what shape my face is. Rectangle? Pentagon?
