Yes - I left my MIDI controller keyboard at home for my last gig,
preferring to code an elegant routine instead of twisting a knob. In
fact I turned up at a rehearsal for that gig and had even left my
computer at home. I figured the musicians in this case might not respond
well to the 'live coding with real musicians' techniques presented by
Nick C at the livecoding conference so I had to code from scratch using
a borrowed computer on which I had luckily, previously installed SC3.
It's a shame that fashions move so fast in the livecoding world - I
thought I was really 'it', coding from scratch, then came home to read
the posts about coding from inverse-scratch on this list.

ps Dave - I have obtained some cheap USB joysticks for the purposes of
strange controller construction but hope to get an install of
betablocker on the go before I destroy the sticks with a soldering iron.
