Come one come all, you're invited to the Hubski Virtual Meetup on Thursday, December 10th to celebrate 10 years of our wondrous corner of the internet!
Historically I've been on from around 6PM EST/3PM PST to about 10 PM EST/7PM PST though everyone is of course more than welcome to stay later. I will likely post the link that morning so if y'all want to pop in/out throughout the day you can. Some of you people can actually jump on at work, a luxury I do not have. I'll probably also jump on a bit earlier than normal to begin celebrations with all. But I do promise at the very least I'll be on those four hours above. No official start time this time around as we have Hubskiiers from all over the globe and I want all of them to be able to jump in and say hey as available, since 6 PM EST "start" would mean a Midnight start for much of Europe, and with work the next day that's not super convenient for that segment of our population.
Just FYI -- I set the meeting up on Jitsi. Jitsi does not have a "host" or anything similar, so it's possible to you may jump in and be the only one there. No harm in letting it hang in the background hoping more people show up! I prefer Jitsi to Zoom because it's more privacy focused, uses end to end encryption, doesn't require an account, and has no time limits.
Hope to see you all next week!
Alright let's see how many shout-outs I can manage with little cheating (minus the cool people that already shared this). When I undoubtedly forget some, please shout them out for me! kleinbl00; ecib; humanodon; demure; thenewgreen; OftenBen; insomniasexx; Cumol; veen; galen; nowaypablo; steve; mike; b_b; katakowsj; elizabeth; blackbootz; wasoxygen; Quatrarius; KapteinB; dublinben; rezzeJ; WanderingEng; goobster; johan; NikolaiFyodorov; uhsguy; flac; flagamuffin; I think that covers a decent amount. I'll drop an empty @@ for the people I missed and an @@ for those who have left us.
So sad that me and _refugee_ didn’t make this list :(
You had already shared it! I skipped those who shared.
But it’s about how I feel, duh (see also - service animal post)
ButterflyEffect, I'm reaching out to you specifically to let you know about the Hubski 10th anniversary video call next week. I want to make sure you don't feel left out so I'm making sure you're included specially with your very own notice. I hope this suffices but if you need more let me know and I'll cater to you however I can.
kleinbl00 I heard you were on the call, I'm sad to have missed you. I hope you've been well
vertical and breathing, I suppose that's somewhere on the positive spectrum of things. if my memory serves me correctly you have a rad music creation station in your basement, is that correct? If so, are you still making tunes?
Spare bedroom. It's a ridiculous post-production rig but it's got a bunch of software synths. Nobody can pay for post-production anymore so that's not doing much. And generally, mixing other people's music is a game of "make it sound exactly the way it sounds in my head without me telling you what that is" so I'm no longer spending days tweaking on other peoples' music so that they can be annoyed I didn't guess their fantasy. I've probably spent 20 hours getting someone else's shit hooked up to Pro Tools, which is on an iLok I own. Then another 15 hours trying to get his shitty-ass BehringerMidas to actually, you know, output on its output card. Knowing how to mix is fundamentally an adventure in pissing people off by providing them knowledge and tech support for dozens of hours at a time. Pretty fuckin' over it.
Damn dude I hear that. The best mixing experience I've had was when I was there with the producer for every moment of the mixing process. I crashed at his house/studio for a week straight during the recording and mixing process. Fortunately he's a really good friend and gave me a homie rate of twenty-five an hour, and took a painting of mine as payment. As you can imagine we spent a lot of time together mixing a two hour contemporary jazz album. 10/10 would do again, I was much happier with the result than any of my former recording experiences.
Yeah that's the reality of the situation. If you charge someone a lot of money and it's not absolute shit? They will presume it's good because they're invested in it. If you do a favor for someone, they'll assume that since they put zero effort into it, you put zero effort into it.
Have you practiced this? That is too good. I’m breaking character.
I have a lot of experience being an asshole, yes.
I know I gave you a shoutout above but I want to be super sure you don't feel left out because I care Come on down to the https://meet.jit.si/TheHubskiHappyHour I'll be on 3 PM PST to 7 PM PST with potential for getting on earlier and staying later.
Shout-outs going to anyone who shared the shout-out cloud comment and/or post, and of course ButterflyEffect who desperately didn't want to be left out accidentally for any reason. Also going to quickly reiterate that it's possible to you may jump in and be the only one there. No harm in letting it hang in the background hoping more people show up. I'll be hopping on by 6 PM EST/12 Noon Christchurch NZ time/3 PM PST and will stay until at the very least 10 PM EST, 4 PM Christchurch NZ, 7 PM PST. See you nerds later! https://meet.jit.si/TheHubskiHappyHour spencerflem; thenewgreen; Foveaux; AnSionnachRua; humanodon; demure; johan; psychoticmilkman; lil; _refugee_; mk; am_Unition; kantos; Devac; nowaypablo; Foveaux; kleinbl00;
That's fair. After work if no one else goes for it I'll make a list of peeps to send out. If I throw it in the body and update will it notify or should it be a new comment?
It should work with both. That code is kinda crazy iirc. Shout out on edits, but don't shoutout to everyone that was already shouted out to, also don't shout out if the user doesn't exist or is inactive. It looks so simple from this side. Sometimes coding is mental juggling.

Awww, spent a few days away from Hubski and missed this. Hope it went well! I still remember discovering Hubski way back then when looking for something more pleasant than reddit. Glad it's still here and still more pleasant than reddit. Well done mk and everyone! I'm a bit of a lurker but still an appreciator.
Idk where you are but 6 PM EST is noon in Christchurch NZ. So if that's your time zone then you got it!
I have a virtual event until 8 Central tonight but I'll hop in after!
