Being confined to rest (mostly) at home today, I upgraded both the iMac and PowerMac to iTunes 4.9, and entered the world of Podcasting. So far so good, the only thing limiting me is download speed and VanPod’s capacity. VanPod, in the meantime, threw a tantrum and rebooted constantly while docked. This was after it …

My wrist sprain got worse after a heavy duty choir rehearsal yesterday. I think I’m going to insist that other people help me move our company’s Yamaha Clavinova, because it made my backache recur a few weeks ago and had now excacerbated my sprained wrist. What good is an injured pianist? So my posts will …
It’s late, Kim Clijsters has been beaten by Lindsay Davenport, I have watched 2 hours of CSI in a row and now the news is out: Recording Industry and Moviemakers, 1; file-sharing networks, 0. Here’s what the Beeb had to say about it. Somehow I get the impression that a few other court decisions cited …
VanPod had the closest thing to a heart attack just now – multiple times. I docked it to my PowerMac and it kept on restarting. Which is exactly what happened to my sister’s 15GB iPod which I bought for her. 2 AppleCentres quoted a high price to fix the problem, which was apparently quite serious. …
The concert went well. Frankly the reverb was so great in the hall, I could barely hear myself on the piano, so it was just ‘hit and go’. Me at the piano, playing Blue Rondo and So What. I’ve walked to the other end of the stage, switching to a keyboard, playing my own song, …
I slipped and sprained my wrist this morning. A day before the concert. I ignored the slight pain in my joint until late afternoon, when I decided to get a wrist guard and ointment. However I didn’t want my band members to get more worried than they needed to be. My bassist (who happens to …
I just watched ‘Batman Begins‘. Apart from certain criminals, a few innocent citizens and Batman himself, another thing that needed to be suspended way up in the air, was my disbelief. Spoilers ahoy.
I’m watching Wimbledon live, hence this late post. Was lukewarm to seeing Tim Henman make it past the first round. I felt his Finnish opponent put up a good fight but ran out of steam, which is kind of funny seeing how Tim is 7 years older than him. It was disappointing to see one …
I’ve decided to stave off my perturbing desire for a new iPod, because my PowerMac needs more RAM. To borrow the tone from my previous post on this, “I’ve decided not to take on another mistress because the children are starving.” It’s so exciting that I’m finally using Logic for more serious stuff (apart from …
I’m back from Kuala Lumpur after a 6 hour coach ride, through the 2nd Link. I heard that some friends in another coach had their chewing gum confiscated! Overall we had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the food but was careful not to overeat, and looked at a lot of shops, but as usual …
