Subliminal Talk

On the way to breakfast, I discovered that one of my tires was at a dangerously high level of tire pressure, but the others were fine.  

On the way home, hit every red light, and had some extremely dumb people "driving" around me as if they were the only one on the road.  Girlfriend wanted to stop to get something and I forgot that I had a chiro appointment, so I ended up missing the chiro appointment and losing that money, since it was already paid for.

Got home and started working, only to have my production system lock hard on me, and this forced a hard reset, which lost significant work, which wasted time.  Then my cat decided that the bathroom, hallway and kitchen were a better place to have a dump than the damned cat box.

Then I found that I was unable to generate a PDF in LyX for the class syllabus and the coursework to give the students, and fixing that took literally the rest of the day because the download required was slow as hell.  The alternative would have been even worse.  

At the end, I discovered that that time had been wasted because I could not print the damned PDF out, and I could not distribute the PDF to the students.

Then I attempted to go have dinner, but upon arriving I discovered my phone was not with me, and that had my class notes.  I had to turn around and drive home to get it, then drive back to the sub shop to eat.  

On the way back to the sub shop, my laptop (supposed to be suspended) had an issue with the video driver that caused a race condition, which overheated the CPU, and caused it to start trying to cool itself off with fans on high, but it was in the laptop case which was zipped shut.  I had to pull off to the side of the road and get out of the car to open the back door,. unzip the case and pull the damned thing out of it's case, but I couldn't turn it off because it was so hot that turning it off would have removed cooling and fried the CPU.  So I listened to the damned jet engine level fans (Intel sucks) all the way to where I was going.

Upon sitting down to eat, I discovered that my attempt to pair bacon with turkey was unexpectedly awful, and then I had an idiot teenage girl start playing gangsta rap loudly on her phone behind me.  In a desperate effort to be calm enough to teach the class, I simply got up and left, and when I arrived at the classroom, I couldn't eat because there were students already present.

It was a fun day indeed.

Hey Shannon, if you don't mind me asking - what is it that you're teaching, and why did you decide to become a teacher?

@Benjamin- I sent my DMSI V1 order number via the store contact form in preparation for the latest version. Not sure if you got it as I haven't seen a response to it in my email?

Think Shannon could do with one of these after DMSI is released:

couple things I've been meaning to ask about DRS:

1. It should be listened to after the main title. Does this need be immediately after or can it be 1-3 hours after without significantly affecting anything?

2. It's 2 hours of listening if used with another program. Does this also apply on the Off days of that other program? I'm assuming yes, just confirming.

You can listen to it whenever during the day, but DRS days on and off must follow the instructions for DRS regardless of the days on and off for the other program.  It is generally best to listen to DRS within 4 hours of finishing the main program.

Hey Shannon, if you don't mind me asking - what is it that you're teaching, and why did you decide to become a teacher?

I am currently teaching beginner level natal astrology at a local metaphysical shop.  I do natal chart interpretations there occasionally to help the owners, who are friends of mine, drum up customers.  I decided to teach the class because it helps them, and because there are enough people willing to pay to learn it that it is worth my time to develop the course and teach it.  I teach to those who are genuinely interested because I enjoy teaching, and because I know a lot of things about certain subjects that you will not find in books on those subjects.  At least until I write said books, I guess. But I was only able to do this course because I had several months to work on developing the materials for it in the background; it was not even my 3rd priority.  I'm sure the materials will eventually become a book, but it will be a while, since I am much more focused on subliminals than worrying about writing books right now.

Shannon has significantly stepped up his ribeye cooking skills since last time.  I think Shannon wants to make himself a black truffle and salt dry brined for 24 hours Prime ribeye 2 inches thick, which he then hickory smokes at 130F for 3-4 hours, and then reverse sears with garlic herb clarified butter in a cast iron pan.  

But Shannon doesn't have the time for that, so... he will have to suffer through having a steak house make it instead.

Yes, i'm saving these emails as there's nothing I can do yet until we test the delivery method to people who have purchased the versions that apply, which I can only do when it's released.

So anyone who has sent emails, there's no need to send multiple emails cos you haven't got a reply straight away thinking it went to spam or something.. i've got quite a few emails but there's nothing I can do with this yet.

Understood. Thank you for the response. Just wanted to confirm that it was received.

I guess I’ll ask the burning question… any updated ETA on DMSI release please, Shannon? You mentioned not today (Saturday), could it potentially be Sunday or are we much further out? Cheers

I have been struggling today to be as productive as possible, and finding myself being pulled away, yet again, by things like family obligations, managing the de-construction of part of my house and giving guidance to my young cousin.

Today was spent (on DMSI) working on calculating the usage patterns.  This process is not fast on the best days, but these are not the best days, and I have multiple sets of instructions to calculate.  

On top of that, I am having trouble getting the models to stabilize, meaning that I am not getting answers as fast as I would like.

I was hoping to get enough accomplished today that I could publish Sunday, but now that is in doubt.  I would estimate that there is about a 50% chance for Sunday, 75% by Monday and 95% by Tuesday.  

Remember that the accuracy of the instructions is going to be a big factor in what makes this do what it is designed to do.  I can't rush this part, even if I wish the process was going as much faster as I know it could be going if the models were cooperating and I wasn't being dragged in 10 directions at once constantly all of a sudden.

So for the time being, I am trying to edit the description and create the image that will accompany it.  Tomorrow is unfortunately again going to be difficult for me to find time.  Sunday will likely be the next day I get a chance to seriously work on it.

Got it, thanks for the update!
