    worked around.  Several tweaking sessions.
  * 15min:  updated party fliers
  & Reset the broadband connection on the router.  Much less drastic than
    resetting to factory defaults.  Connection now back to normal.
  * bed ~1am after a longish chat with AT&T tech support. :(

A pretty good day, actually. A three-mile walk by the airport, the songbook for Hearts of Glass,..., and some good puttering.

On the other hand, I was up until nearly 1am chatting with AT&T tech support about why I might be getting oly 10% of my usual bandwidth. His only suggestion was to reset the router to factory defaults. This seemed too drastic; I settled for resetting the broadband connection, which appeared to work. (I found out this morning that it only worked for about an hour; what finally did the trick was a reboot. Still less drastic than a factory reset, which would have taken lots of fiddling to recover from.)

Mixed day, on the whole. A few links (I originally typed "kinks", which I'm sure some of my readers would have preferred).

Congrats on a good day, especially the walk.

Are you planning to do audio recording at ConSonance? Right now it looks like I will not be able to attend (because of health issues with my mother). Maybe I could swap you some video recordings from last year for audio recordings from this year?

Wasn't planning on it -- I'm probably going to have my hands full much of the time riding herd on the family, unfortunately. But I'll see what I can do.

Hearts of Glass? Is this a new TGl album I don't know about?

Seriously, how am I supposed to help market you if you don't tell me this stuff? (j/k)

[mdlbear]

It's a limited-edition, not-for-sale thing that's going to be in a couple of Interfilk auctions; originally it was what I threw together for Colleen for Valentine's day. I'll send your copy up with somebody from the Seattle area. Meanwhile see http://tempered-glass.info/Albums/hearts/

You can't help market it because it's not for sale -- not good enough to sell, basically, and so not worthwhile buying rights for.
