Blue Screen of Death Strikes... Apple?


Windows fans circle today on your calendar, today Apple's OS X (10.5) succumbs to the infamous "blue screen of death" (BSOD) on many Macs who still had older versions of the OS installed (10.2, 10.3). It won't likely last long, however, so enjoy it while it lasts :).

Still working

Well, it looks like I managed to confuse a lot of people with my recent blog address change. Even though my old blog address (justaleaf.blogspot.com) does redirect to this page, my domain did not (justaleaf.com).

From now on, if you are just now rejoining me here, I will be blogging at http://blog.justaleaf.com. This decision was made because I am expanding justaleaf.com to include Music Archives and possibly more on the main site (which is still not ready).

The good news is, though, that I have 2 songs ready to go to (dis)grace your ears as soon as I can get the site up! So, by public demand, my voice is about to get a lot louder :).

Thanks for hangin' in there through all the blog craziness!

Oy Vay - Breakage

First reader to get me unbreakable strings that sound good gets a million bucks (when and if I ever get that).

I worked all week and was looking forward to recording my first couple archive music entries. I got my blog self-hosted and rigged up. Aaron let me borrow his condenser mic, which works with my TC Helicon voice thingy, and I went to Radioshack and bought a converter to get the audio to my PC.

Everything was set.

And my strings break. And I have no backups.

No backups!? I hear you exclaim... well I didn't think would need any for at least a few weeks. I just bought long-life Elixir strings that are supposed to have the life of 3 strings! 4 days later though.... TWOOOIIIINNNGGGGGG!!!!! And I didn't even play every day this week!

*sigh*

There's no where, to my knowledge, to buy strings here in Oakhurst, so I guess the music project is on hold for now :(. This is the third time this has happened with Elixir's, I just need to stop trying. D'addario is the only brand that lives more than two weeks on my guitar (I guess I play kind of hard, for at least 30-60 minutes a day, on average).

Drum roll please...

The People Have Spoken!
(all 8 of them)


The music is on it's way, I'm going for full public embarrassment! And now the site is OFFICIALLY, blog.justaleaf.com. This is now a non-free blog :). So update your bookmarks. Hopefully the feed is ok.

Stay tuned for music at www.justaleaf.com. Coming soon to your computer! By public demand even.
