I got two new piercings yesterday! Went to Beretta's shop in San Diego, and she was great... very helpful, very professional. Answered all my questions about the piercings I wanted, placements, appropriate jewelry choices, and so on. The piercing process itself was totally smooth... she knows what she's doing!
Gremlin took pictures... I'll keep the "air of mystery" about what I got for just...

Tonight we played at Coffeehaven in Long Beach. Little different crowd than Portfolio's... mostly stand-up comics. There were a few other musicians though, and that was more than accepted.
Apparently they start sign-ups in the morning, by phone. The published info we had seen about this event hadn't mentioned that. So we ended up being second-to-last to perform. It went well though, and felt good...

So since my partner D.M. Gremlin is also a fantastic photographer, I started a folder called "portraits" to put up some of the cool pictures he has taken of me. We're going to be doing some shoots, but for now I just put up the shot we did for my engineering profile picture for the new promo brochures we're making for the studio. Yay, I'm...

Gremlin and I played at an open mic at Portfolio's in Long Beach tonight. Nice place-- great atmosphere, friendly people, and some really good performers. Particularly inspiring was a duo called "Sandbloom." They vere all-around excellent! Also I had some very tasty hot spiced apple cider.

So... it was a fun night! We're playing again Friday night at Coffeehaven, also in Long Beach.

Wow I haven't posted on here in ages. Mainly because I've been getting ready to travel to Long Beach, CA, where I am now. Home of D. M. Gremlin Productions, where I'm having a working vacation until January 14. I got here on Christmas day, and we've already had several great recording sessions with bands, with more to come. Sometimes we do webcam broadcasts...

Hey It's great to see you are still around!! I'dve e-mailed you but I thought maybe you wanted to be left alone. Have fun in the land of the fruits and nuts.

Not really sure why I'm updating right now. Probably because I'm feeling down and procrastinating on my cleaning and chores and I don't really have anyone to talk to about anything right now and meanwhile I'm sitting here in front of the computer burning DVD's to clear my completely full drives again.
Humorous note, since shooting yesterday, Mom and I have been picking up .22...

Studio ended up really cool yesterday, which I figured even though I'd been unexcited about it earlier in the week. I got assigned another big project as far as getting the studio featured on another web site. It isn't difficult work, and it means I'm useful to them for this much longer. Matt, the engineer that is supposedly supervising me directly (even though he's been...

Updating the Cingular saga.
The manager calls me back at 8pm, my time. I don't know what kind of hours they keep there, and it doesn't really matter, but I've gotten calls from these people at some strange times. Better than not getting them at all, but strange.
He says that $2.65 in TAX was taken out of my $10 credit. I said, NO. You...

i have pay as you go - easy peasey lemon squeezy wink

I have worked on implementing billing systems - it is stunningly complex and brain-warping but like all systems if the input is crap the output tends to match it.

On the other hand we never hear much from customers who are undercharged until we backbill - they thiought it was free - ha!!

Cingular is made of the dumbest people alive next to the Old Navy people. Switch to a new phone company when you can, before they make you pay some $400 bullshit, like they did me.

Fighting with Cingular again/still.

Last month the upgrade to my plan didn't show up on the bill and I had to call the manager I'd talked to about it twice to get him to call me back. He said he'd "dropped the ball" on putting it through, but he'd get it taken care of.
The upgrade shows on my account now, since shortly after that...
