Just select some text, go into the Application menu (the one by the Apple menu), go to the services submenu, and choose Summarize.

I've been working on getting the new owners up to speed on the site, slowly losing the ability to do anything on it. I just demoted myself from Administrator on the forums today.

It's a sad time, but there are some projects we are considering that seem quite promising. It's just a matter of choosing which ones to pursue.

We also have to come up with a new name for the company - the new owners don't want us to use Developer Shed, Inc., as it is identical to the name of their website.

I took a drive down to the local Apple authorized dealer to buy a new one. They didn't have one, but they could order me one. It would take "3 or 4 days" to get it. I had them order it.

4 days passed, I dropped by. No adapter. I decided to give them some more time. 4 more days, no adapter. I'm getting angry. I wait a week, they don't call. I drop down there - it still hasn't been delivered.

Yesterday, it was almost 3 weeks since I first ordered it. No calls, no adapter. I go to the Apple Store online and order an adapter to be overnighted. It came today.

What is going on here? Is Apple deliberately keeping orders from Apple Authorize Dealers waiting so the irate customers will come to the Apple Store for reasonable turnarounds on orders?

A lot of people I know don't like Disneyland, but I think it has a lot of charm and there are some fun rides. And I love California Adventure. Food is too expensive, but you can leave the parks and go across the street for some inexpensive food.

It was very fun, but very tiring. We had 5 performances in 2 days, all went quite well, then we got to play around in the parks for a couple of days. A lot of walking - I'm sure I lost some weight.

I'll have it in 6-8 weeks. Finally, a quality instrument!

I'd be OK with it, but for the circumstances. The guy who got the job is a co-worker of the show's orchestra conductor (a fellow professor at Dixie State). The show's conductor is also my band/jazz band teacher and I played bass in his orchestra for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last Summer season, so he knows how good I am.

But get this: he plays guitar, not bass. Admittedly, he also plays bass guitar, but I've done that show before and it definitely needs an upright bass, which he doesn't do at all.

It's a good think I am in on The King and I, playing clarinet and bass clarinet. But, dammit, I really needed the extra cash working out there 6 nights a week would bring.

Too much politicking goes on in this little corner of Utah, especially in the music scene.

I just noticed that my comment links disappeared when I switched themes to this one. I need to look into that.

Fun while it lasted.
