Tim Blair--Points to Rupert Murdoch on Blogging

Tim Blair Rupert Murdoch understands and is planning to interface with the Blogosphere.


This is pretty deep! This means that ONE (yup. .only ONE) leading MSM executive "gets it". Of course one thing Murdoch COULD do right away is to begin a personal blog. That is the best way to get your feet wet. . .

In other news:
Conservatives in Canada are beginning to raise their level of social recognition: Since we now know that Canada is ready for change. . .and that change will neccessarily be in the "right" direction (heh!), then more Canuck Blogs are getting linked.

This blogging is GREAT FUN.

Now, if I can figure out how to get my Terayon TJ715 Cable Modem to stop blinking its data light ALL THE TIME. . .well it's really the new NETGEAR router/WiFi device. The WGT624 has overheating problems, for one thing. . .It seems like the modem and router are in a "loop" of constant chatter.

Maybe I can deactivate some aspect of the router that would clear this up.

Oh well.

Tonight Bob Couto. I'll have to make a bunch of copies of the CD I recorded last week (live about six tunes of the rehearsal).

So I am busying myself with Music and Computing

So it is fairly official: I am playing bone as much as is humanly possible, while also training and improving my computing skills (these devices seem to be with us for the long run...). So, it would also make sense for me to post here more often. I just got off a weekend out of town gig and am back in Van Nuys practicing, taking calls and cleaning up my kit (bones, clothes, mute bag) Will play a rehearsal tonight and a few this week, though Thanksgiving will interrupt and therefore this week will likely be light.

Stay Tuned for Web Dev Stuff

I'm doing the build of Westernstudioservice.com into a "customer oriented" web site. That means I'm taking the same marketing oriented basic website and changing it into a modern CSS based site with a logon for designated customers (several at first. . .possibly more later) who will be able to access a secure area to see PDF versions of their current inventory as printed by Michael Brittain. Michael's database is based upon Filemaker, which is currently at version 9. I can see there is a web section to the filemaker product. It is possible I will ultimately have to either migrate the database to a SQL type engine like SQL Server or MySQL and have Michael's database talk to that, or to have the Filemaker work through the net with remote logons managed through the website. For a first run, I'm interested in getting Filemaker reports available on a logged on basis, then I'll attack the redesign necessary to allow for up-to-the-minute access of a databas

More and more music ... seems to be a whirlwind

I am now taking everything I can in trombone land. I am trying to get the word out that I am the darndest, super-cool, freelancer trombone player you will ever have in your group...(hear that, contractors?). Have extensive experience in Top 40 band/ R&B...Jazz groups large and small....orchestras...chamber music (e.g. brass quintet) church music, theater work onstage and in the pit, and recordings. I am in the Local 47 directory (will be in 2010 book), and can be reached at (818) 309-8804 or (818) 763-9397 I come in from the Van Nuys area, so I'm centrally located for most LA based work. I also enjoy doing work with many of my longstanding friends from Orange County. So, I really get around this great big city. PICS COMING! So I am doing quite a lot of playing. Keeping my Union dues up, too! [above is the racked equipment used in a festival here in town... also, you can see a big band setting up in Simi Valley, and nearby, and the thing we all like--applause...well, an &qu
