音時雨 ~Regentropfen~

✽ a season of pizz.

plain as XML

Perhaps in my source xml file, the <date> field isn't really serving as a reference for myself at all, rather it brings much trouble in terms of typing, especially in January. (I'll keep it anyhow since I'm not motivated to remove all such tags from more than 10 xml files.)
Alternatively, as the year increases, in terms of managing all files it might be a good idea to put all text into one single file. They're not large, just a few MB altogether, I just tried. But the merged version will cause a little lag if as type more into. So this plan was impractical and immediately dropped.
Due to the lack of kilobytes in previous files, although I'm not expecting much along with a new year, I do want to start with some changes, to "type" more, electronically. (Yet I've already got a two-week span of nothing.)
Regardless, I'm not a fan of keeping an analogue notebook for this purpose any more, even though that format is sometimes quicker to save flashing-by thoughts, I know I won't be able to organise them in an eligible fashion. Also, honestly, I'm not the type who will enjoy reading past posts at all. But just in case, I write them, if there're things worth writing.

pizzicato?!

In brief, this season's challenge (for me) is getting it smooth while switching between arco mode and pizz mode, which I've never practiced before.
Fortunately or unfortunately, they appear in all pieces as:
- in Bizet:

- in Hardiman:

- and in Tchaikovsky:
Good luck on this! Since my index usually lost and land outside of the fingerboard. ~_~
Still overall, I'm super happy with Tchaikovsky, would be even better if it's the whole piece.

a different level of cuteness?

The motivation hasn't returned, so no progress in the completion of cute souls, nor being able to predict it.
Nonetheless, I can't let it sitting still forever, so how shall I resume it since this weekend and give it a rush to the end?
I should have known that "souls" can't be tuned to the level of cuteness as imagined, at least for the current visual arrangement.

the "++" I miss

As far as I've read, there's no "i++" nor "i--" in python, what a shame!
In addition, there's no ";" (though legal) nor "{}" (sadly illegal). Since no other languages I'm using complain between tab and space, the restriction in space-based indentation remains as my top one hatred of python. Agree with me or not, the $@% signs in perl are cute.
Though it may be easier to read, I want to clarify here, that I decided to learn it because of its popularity, not of my inner interest.
Also I don't like how they differentiate between tuples and arrays, sounds tedious, even they say there's a historical reason.
The last thought:
Perl has $, PHP has $, C doesn't, and Python doesn't...
