I want it to work better
A slippy day, here on the Island. Freezing rain started just before school bus time, so the school closures did not delay. On the other hand, a few levels of government had to think things through before deciding that dangerous is dangerous. Why the reluctance to keep your employees safe? Do you have a more valuable resource to protect? Is the wage thing really so important to your bottom line? I had to look on with dismay at the photos from other provinces: salt trucks sliding backwards down the hill and into a ditch, in both NB and NS. Up in QC, some major bridges were also closed. Or as my son put it, this is another typical February tropical rain storm.
I now own a “MIDI wind controller”, after a week of testing and some tight negotiation on price. It works, but like any gadget, I want it to work better. With an adaptor, I plugged the EWI into my iPad, where it was immediately recognized (good) and deemed lacking in available current (bad). This is a known difficulty, and others affirm that it is due to a software decision by Apple, rather than a hardware shortfall. I’ve decided to go with an eBay solution. They offered me a $5 off gift certificate, that I applied to a low level purchase from within Canada. Total outlay: less than a burger at the fast food joint. And now I wait. I do have other things to keep me distracted. Sometime, late next week, I can see if the iPad can mimic a student sax. Hang in there, my audience.
