Snakeoil Gear Isolation Beta Series

[agent_kith]

Apologies for the lack of updates... I've been busy revising my CV and been on job interviews. The latter is something I'm struggling with as I'm not used to selling myself. I prefer to let my work speak for itself (like Snakeoil), which really isn't the right strategy at all for a job interview. The good thing is I'm not finanically stressed yet, so can continue to devote most of my energy on the Snakeoil project.

Back to Snakeoil. So far on tests on a real machine, MPD 0.22.3 always installs on my 16.04 instance, and myMPD is always working.. I'm sure it will break in some instances, and I suspect I know the reason for that. So will be making some changes in the next test module to see if that's the case.

All up everything seems to be working as expected, or rather better than expected. It's amazing how good sounding this thing is, but alas there is just not enough interest to increase it's popularity. Audiophile is a dying hobby I guess. It is what it is, I'm never in this for the money, hope you guys get to enjoy the music as well as I do (Or not, depending on what music you're playing. 0.22.3 is so unforgiving).

On a different note, I'm more aware of the microphone placements (techniques) now. This is in part due to Gear Isolation, and my switchbox upgrade (or rather rectification to adhere to the building code). The detail 0.22.3 can resolve is really un-canny. Be looking forward to the Pi version and see how that goes in due time.
