Everything else
Last night I missed the vice-presidential debate, thanks to Bill Gates and his cadre of ace (ass?) programmers at Micro$oft. I was trying to simply reinstall my Windows operating system, with which I still have to share disk space on my Fedora Core system. The Windows installer popped up a …
Last night’s show at the Velvet Lounge in D.C. was great. We had about as good a crowd as one could possibly expect on a Sunday night at 11. A personal highlight was seeing the magnificent performance of one Edie Carey. Engaging personality, lovely voice, talented musician, and a uniquely …
I have been superbusy lately between catching up with work and a bunch of out-of-town gigs. Last night (Saturday) we did a set at the Dewey Beach (DE) MusicFest, which I thought was very cool and tight. We had to go on without Tom because he was previously committed — …
I just got back this morning about 4:00 a.m. with the family, from my dad’s wedding in Boothbay, Maine. We had a fantastic time and as best man, I even managed to pull off a fairly decent toast to the happy couple. We just love my dad’s new wife, and …

My teacher and friend Greg Howard will be delivering top-notch instruction, along with several other incredibly talented Stick players. I’m hoping my friend Chris is coming as well, since I haven’t seen him in a while and want to …
This week on fedora-devel-list there was an incredibly interesting project announced by ace Red Hat developer Havoc Pennington, called Stateless Linux. It sounds fascinating! Unfortunately, the PDF that Havoc floated around is practically useless on a lot of platforms (apparently including Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.x on Microsoft Windows and Fedora …
Today I’m out on the road with Leah and the band. We’re playing at the Grape Street Pub tonight in Philly.
This week I’ve been in RHS 333, and met the new instructor here at Tysons Corner. She’s from Norway (by way of the UK) and is a very knowledgeable and interesting person. I suppose I’ll be seeing a lot of this classroom over the next few months as I pursue …
