A year ago is "back in the day"? Geez.

(And am I the only person who likes to have a copy of all their finished works back to day one? Don't answer that.)
I still watch my stuff now and then, back to #5 (early 2003), some more than others. I can see giant problems that I cannot
believe I didn't catch at the time, but I also still see whatever it is that got me excited about that idea in the first place. Even if it wasn't carried out all that well. And I use music that I love, so there's always that.
And now there's a certain measure of nostalgia, like "Oh yeah, I remember how great it was to finally get THAT to work" and "This is the first time I figured out how to do such-and-such."
I don't see the point in wringing my hands and wailing over the bad decisions I made then. I know I wasn't that great; few people are, when they start out. That's what a learning curve is like. I've learned from my mistakes, and moved on to bigger and better mistakes.

It's not that big a deal to me. And with that aside, we're left with music/visuals I love and usually with good memories of the process, and those are all good things.
So I watch them, but I don't laugh. That newbie I was had a lot of fun, and I don't think the slightly older newbie that I am now needs to cast aspersions on that.
