The final bit was getting my instrument editor working, including an interactive volume envelope editor. It works!!

Officially finished the last "that's going to be a pain in the ass" item on my demo to-do list. There's content to make and little things to polish but no more tedious hurdles looming.

I started a job in 2013 working on a codebase older than I was. There was one woman, who had retired before I started, who left her mark on that code in the form of some of the funniest comments I have ever seen, my favorite was:

// <Founder of Company>, please stop programming

• The words "vaccine" and "buckaroo" share a root word! The Latin "vacca," meaning "cow"!! This is because the first vaccine was derived from cowpox, and buckaroo comes from spanish "vaquero," meaning "cowboy"!
• The state of New Mexico was NOT named after the country of Mexico, and in fact was named that several centuries EARLIER than the country!! (New Mexico has been called that since 1560s, while Mexico only gained that name in the 1820s.) Both of them are named after the Valley of Mexico, which is the location of modern-day Mexico City! At the time of New Mexico's naming, the location of modern-day Mexico was called New Spain!
• Speaking of state names, California was likely named after a fictional location in a 16th-century Spanish romance novel! In Las Sergas de Esplandián, there's a fictional island named California, named after its ruler, Queen Calafia (whose name possibly comes from the Arabic word "khalif")!!
• Nobody knows where the word "dog" comes from.

Furiously drafting my Marx brothers Who's on First style vaudeville act of a conversation between Spain, Mexico and New Mexico
