CopCal.03 is out. New to this release is a threaded message feature, shading of “today”, minor formatting cleanup and, oh yeah; you can actually log in from something other than mozilla. Bah! Thanks to Dellechiaie for hipping me to this small problem. So, once again, please feel free to make yourself a calendar. It’s intended to be used for scheduling overtime jobs. Contact me with any suggestions, requests or reports that, despite what I may think, it doesn’t work at all.

Our driveway debacle is still in full swing. My dad has started giving talks at city council meetings and The Newspaper printed his last in its entirety. So I guess I will too. It’s that good.

Well, if I hadn’t been all gimped-up today I could have been out driving around the Hill Country with some car geeks. Judging from hoyhoy’s map and gregh’s GPS track log it seems that things went according to plan.

It’s all over now, but doppler and tex cobbled together the coolest system for streaming audio from SxSW shows. I mean, this even got a slashdot mention. I’m just proud to know the guys that pulled that stunt. Some of the audio was rough, but I listened to something from the Mercury Room for a while that wasn’t too bad. Someone, I can’t decide if it’s a band or a club, should hire these guys. It’s the future.

Nuclear Taco Night SxSW went off well. I hope you had a chance to stop by. The food was hot, Deek and Miles sang all the hits, and it seems that a good time was had by all. Thanks, hoyhoy for the pic. More pictures are up in the nucleartacos.com gallery.

I put a beta copy of CopCal up here. CopCal is a simple scheduling system for overtime jobs, use it for anything you want though. Report bugs to me please.

Posted a song written by my momma on the music page. The Vickers Girls came by to work it out and my dad and I chunked around on the guitars. Recording was done with two microphones into a MiniDisc player, the levels are a little on the low side, but you can get a feel for my mom’s writing talent.
Mom writes all the family songs, this one is for Aunt Hazel and her daughter, Sherry, who both lost late-teenage sons without warning.
If you don’t want to start crying just pass this one by.

I’m going to feel that one in the morning! I finally got around to getting my back screwed together on Wednesday last. Pretty gnarly stuff, really. It turns out that this kind of surgery takes approximately all day to complete. Not that it means much to me -I was quite asleep, but I’m sore like you wouldn’t believe. Just wanted to throw an update out there, I’m really in no shape to be driving this thing on The Internet. Out!
