So you might have noticed that I haven’t posted the 3rd part of the Toljari Cycle yet. It turns out that I am awful at estimating appropriate settings for laser cutters, and as such have tried cutting 2 boards in as many days without success (with restricted access to the cutter at NYC Resistor). So everything else is good to go, just that we’re going to have to wait until Monday to see how this all pans out.

Since I decided to start off the Cycle just a week and a half ago, I didn’t really have time to throw together something fancy music-wise, so I had to make do with what I was already doing, which was re-learning the Kabalevsky.
Why Kabalevsky? Well, it’s usually regarded as a student concerto, which is fine by me: you don’t go from zero to Ysaye in a week and a half, especially when you’ve never played Ysaye before.

Despite the date on the post, the Toljari Cycle started last week, not this weekend, but I didn’t know it at the time.
Storytime:
I thought I had enough time to get my ducks in order when I decided that to hell with it, I would kick off this regular release schedule one and a half weeks ago. However, it turns out that what I was originally planning to do for my first coding release was pretty difficult, but I only realized this after I pushed the deadline to halfway into the week after when the release was due.

In the previous installment, we saw our brave protagonist pre-commit to a regular release cycle, but then he dropped off the face of the Earth to wrestle with… well, something. I’m sure there was a good reason he stopped blogging after starting again after the longest break he had taken since the beginning of his blogging career (there wasn’t).
But lo! Here our tragic anti-hero comes stumbling from a cave, covered in akrasia and regret!
