Geoffry Song 3/24

  • Pianosu
  • Like typical beatmania-like, but notes
  • Very different
  • Played music Sang in acapella group in Dropbox
  • Interface is about what I would expect
  • Depends on what you would be targetting (off-the-cuff thing)
  • Reminded of game for a game jam -- work and also singing to your plants
  • Reply to email to have things go away
    • Using ASDF/JKL; is a limiting input method for music
    • Being limited isn't always a bad thing
  • When you see the notes — they translate to foot motion
    • Seeing the notes makes a pattern that makes sense
    • Charting — process: Take the song rhythm, figure out where notes should go, and change it if it's awkward
    • UI makes it basic; go forward, press one of 4 beats
    • Does mapping happen in real time?
      • Stepmania might have a realtime mode, but it didn't work that well for Geoffry
      • Hard to make it on the beat. If you don't know where you're going, hard to be precise (compared to seeing it on the screen)
      • Making it up - wishy washy; it can be 1/16 off, came up with it a bit too late
        • If you don't have a ground truth
        • Could do an audio processing to find the beats
        • When the notes actually are in
    • Never tried it live on a cab
    • Not good on stepmania
      • friday night funkin
  • Strawberry - weekend project. Done in a couple nights
  • Starting one's own thing is something your dad really wants you to do
    • Same bucket as "you should become a doctor"
  • Leave before it gets bad (Dropbox too)
  • Canada — if you want to make money, opportunity isn't there. Not a lot of tech jobs. Boring jobs, nothing cutting edge
    • If Geoff were to quit, maybe farm in Canada
    • Upsides of physical work
      • Harder to make social connections
  • Making work acquaintences
    • Making it easy to work with people
    • Within your team — you can see the people on you rteam
    • You always have to work outside your team; in a remote env, they are always strangers
  • Very fun to be obsessesed with something
