Good morning, here’s a story about my butthole. Years ago, it was itching constantly, and I couldn’t figure out why. I assumed it was dirty, so when I went to the bathroom, I always made sure to wipe extra hard. Finally a doctor had to tell me to stop that, and give my butthole a break. I did, and I stopped itching. I tell you this humiliating story for a good reason: according to Mental Floss, a lot of you are wiping too hard as well.

Sooo… I’m bingeing Murder She Wrote and look at the fella playing Deputy Andy:
That fresh-faced officer of the law aged gracefully into:
This is actor is Louis Hertchum. And he now plays the father of born-again android revolutionary Dolores in Westworld:
You can’t keep a good actor down, can ya!
Behold! My lovely, shiny, 32 in, 32 out Tascam ML-32D Dante audio interface.
That’s right, Dante, the amazing tech from Audinate that lets you send a gazillion streams of audio everywhere over plain old Cat5e or above cable. Dante will help!
Annoyed that Thunderbolt leads seem to have a maximum length of 2cm? DANTE!
Worried your USB extension is gonna come loose when the pigeons in your loft find it? DANTE!
It’s the one-stop solution to all your audio networking worries.
In theory…
I got my ML-32D yesterday morning. I hooked it up, booted my iMac Pro, fired up Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS), which is how your computer talks to a Dante network in the absence of dedicated hardware like a PCIe card, and beamed like a happy child at the screen.
But there was a RED BOX in Dante Controller (how you configure said network). The red box indicated the iMac Pro was not syncing with the ML-32D clock. Hmm, must be something simple, I thought… everything else is green, all the bits are being recognised.
So I tried swapping cables.
Then I tried swapping switches. Went from a Netgear to an Asus and then to switch-free, a direct connection from iMac Pro to ML32D.
Nope. Red box. Sync error.
I got in touch with Audinate customer support who were both extremely prompt and very helpful. I followed their suggestion and installed an older version of DVS.
Nope. Red box. Sync error.
From 9.30am until 1.30am this morning (well, with a couple of breaks to eat and have a little cry), I installed, un-installed, swapped cables and rebooted, rebooted, rebooted. All for naught.
Finally, I solved it. It’s all working perfectly now.
“The Mesa Police Department in Arizona voluntarily released surveillance video footage showing a group of officers brutally beating an unarmed man.
The video shows several police officers kneeing and punching Robert Johnson.”

TODAY’S all coppers are bastards.
Funny how the headline leaves out that the victim of this brutal attack was black…
