1000 cues and counting

what do you do when your own custom software has a zillion parameters that you want to cue easily, but over midi?
you inherit the standard cocoa controls and make their right click insert cues for themselves in the cueing software via applescript.

About

i work creatively with computers, art, theatre and performance.

in school i was curious enough to know the answers before the questions came before me in print. in university i was curious enough to question the answers print produced. both to my own peril.

the best school so has so far been christiania, since i am far to interested in politics, and try to learn why people cluster and act the way they do. hopefully shortterm powermongers are mistaken in the long run.

i enjoy mysteries, the only mystery greater than love, women and myself is the product thereof. there is no such thing as the eyes of a being which has not yet learned the difference between subject and object. i somehow relate to that. call it childish if you want.

there are plenty of borders to cross, even in the wake of globalisation. i have become aware that i am part of a travelling class, by meeting some of the people who aren’t. hopefully this can change.

keeping curiosity alive is my number one priority. the biggest source of pain is when i fail to grasp why stupidity arises. even when i don’t i always think there’s a why. why’s are complex, and there’s enough stuff for the curious in that for at least several eternities. believing outcomes have reasons that i can never know in their entirety is a substitute for faith in good vs. evil, a supreme being, the immutable order of things, or fate.

and hopefully i can still learn.
