12/25/2000	mpegs in the scores section i started generating mpegs from the midi files in my scores section, for the benefit of those who have sound cards with lousy midi support. i'll probably keep this up until i want the disk space back. ;)

new in november 2000
11/28/2000	still... getting closer all the time. :)
11/27/2000	still... yeah, still moving stuff as i get the chance.
11/24/2000	still... moved my page about a musical scores archive here.
11/17/2000	still... ... yeah, you guessed it. damn work keeps getting in the way of my hobbies. ;)
11/16/2000	still converting stuff added to the ramblings.
11/15/2000	still converting stuff yes, still moving stuff here.
11/09/2000	dan's memorial moved dan's memorial into its new spot.
11/08/2000	still converting stuff spent way too much time today playing with converting my links definitions from htmlpp to wml. not really happy with the result, but there's at least a temporary solution in place that let me move my mris rant into the ramblings section.
11/07/2000	mozart k. 545 if you look in the scores, you'll see that i'm working a bit on a mozart piano sonata.
11/03/2000	dsl fun my dsl went out wednesday, came back on for a couple of hours that night, then went out again. i called the isp, who called the dsl provider, who called the phone company, who got the chickens and candles ready for the ritual. of course, being the phone company, they won't have them ready until monday, when they'll arrive sometime between 8:00am and 5:00pm. (what do people do who have to leave the house to go to work?) in the meantime, dsl goes up and down, and my ability to get on the net is spotty at best.
11/01/2000	toys! i decided to get a new (musical) keyboard (see the misc section of the photos). while i was at it, i needed a new vcr. well, hey -- i've got this 21" monitor now, so why not get a tv card so i can play the vcr on the big screen? well, why not a dvd player?... anyway, i spent a bunch of today putting it all together. i should get back to work sometime...
new in october 2000
10/31/2000	and you thought i was slacking! ;) i've actually been spending way too much time working on my pages instead. i finally got dsl, and have pointed jeffcovey.net at my machine and have been playing with the fact that disk space is no longer much of a limitation. most of the work is in converting my old pages to my new site, though, so don't look for too much that's new. i have added a few notes to some scores, though. :) watch your head; there's still a lot of contstruction going on around here.
10/14/2000	als final photos of als are up. i just got home -- said nite! to the channel!, and now i'm off to crash.
10/12/2000	als as threatened, i've put up some photos of als.
10/11/2000	in atlanta i'm in atlanta for als. spent all day in an osdn site director's meeting. the show starts tomorrow; maybe i'll remember to take some photos.
10/09/2000	air on the g string i bought a bunch of scores recently, and i just started entering the air from bach's third orchestral suite in mudela.
10/08/2000	photos of my backyard i took some photos from the back window of my house some time ago, never got around to putting them up until now.
10/07/2000	where am i (still!)? so i met this great guy in oklahoma city and i thought things were going well between us. we were both excited about seeing each other after we got back home (me to baltimore, him to philadelphia). but i paid too much attention to him, he felt smothered, and he met someone else. i'm sorry to see him go, but hope they're happy. anyway, i spent some time being rather bummed about that. mainly, though, i've been doing another round of simplifying. while i was on my trip this summer, i took a step back and looked at what i've been doing, and i've had my hand in way too many pots. since i got back, i've been slowly extracting myself from several of them, finding new people to do the jobs and helping them get started. i'm making good progress and starting to feel some weights lifted off my shoulders as a result. it would be nice to get down to just freshmeat gits music throw in a new romance that lasts longer than a week, and that would be plenty to occupy my time. :)
