descriptioncore tortia

* Time to find and load TIATracker: ~1 min
* Time to remember that TIATracker is sin-ugly and that's why I never spent much time with it in the past: ~0.1 secs
* Time spent goofing around in TIATracker to get a feel for it: ~15 mins
* Time spent concluding that while TIATracker is unquestionably the most useful TIA tool and its envelope creation is surprisingly slick, the choice of colors for tracker background (dark blue), tracker highlight (slightly less-dark blue), and text (lighter blue, 8pt font) is utterly and insultingly fucking psychotic and I refuse to humor it: ~0.1 secs

* Time spent composing a song for TorTIA: ~2 hrs
* Time spent massaging Python to get hoary-ancient-ass tortia.py to run: ~15 mins
* Time spent trying to figure out why Stella was having a seizure when trying to run the tortia.py output: ~15 mins
* Time spent remembering and subsequently reflecting on the fact that TorTIA only allows for 512 rows: ~5 mins

(((Normally, at this point there'd be some debate over whether it'd be worth spending time converting everything over to TIATracker, but to be perfectly frank, I doubt anyone besides myself would enjoy the end result any more than they would an edited version, and, since I can already listen to the full-length .IT version as much as I want, there was, for all intents and purposes, no debate.)))

* Time spent debating whether to waste, at bare minimum, 30 minutes of my life for what will be, in 23d 14h, the same end result: ~0 secs
* Time spent crudely chopping original composition down to 512 essential rows that will successfully compile in TorTIA: ~5 mins
* Time spent recording and rendering mp3: ~5 mins

* Time spent thinking of a title: ~0.01 secs
* Time spent doing this writeup: ~15 mins
* Time spent trying to decide if there was time spent doing anything else: ~5 mins
