Staying sane with missing cables

One trick to stay sane while writing a book is to fixate on something completely unimportant at the same time. One part of my brain is trying to explain JavaScript while another part is frantically trying to remember where I put the USB 2.0 Type A Female to USB B Male cable that I use to connect my Synthstrom Deluge to usb MIDI devices. I have absolutely no need to connect my Deluge to a MIDI keyboard at the moment, but that’s not the point. I’m getting regular exercise breaks too as I get up and look in places that the cable might be.

By mid afternoon I snapped and ordered an adapter which does the same job as the cable. Cost: two pounds fifty pence. Of course, now I’ll have to find something else to worry about.

The writing itself is going fine, which is the important thing.
