Erney C Finch III March 14, 1946 – September 11, 2002 Mixed news today, the first piece being that my wife’s father died yesterday of a heart attack at 56. I expect the next few days will be full of phone calls and tears. In other, better news, my mother …
Made a couple of changes to that spec file, to clean it up and properly link libmpi.so. Try another build with this if you had problems with the last one. (The previous link is fixed too.)

Originally I set out to make this blog simply reflect my practice schedule and progression using The Stick, but I’ve digressed quite a bit. That probably won’t stop, but I should have noted earlier this week that I played a solo Stick arrangement of the Sting tune “Fields of Gold” …
People who are arrogant really piss me off. Far better to underplay your talents and please people, than to puff yourself up and utterly fail to deliver. We have an office fathead who actually talks down to people with twice his knowledge and experience, and he can’t figure out why …
