Oops. John beat me to it.

Besides the fact that Basie has been on hold for a while (life, the universe, etc.), no, we're not using Brian (yet). It's all Excel. But we were talking about making all the info available in different formats after having compiled it (also in Brian). Ask John. He's head honcho in the discography/sessionography department. We have most of the sessions down ... now we just need to put them online. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Cheers!

I'm going to be 95 tomorrow. Boy, this is exciting.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there's a comprehensive online resource anyone can recommend regarding the formatting of discographies/sessionographies, abbreviations used, lettering and numbering, etc. I haven't been able to find a decent site yet. Of course it's relatively easy to study several good online discographies/sessionographies, but for a larger project I'd like to have a site I can run to in case of questions. Thanks for your help. P.S.: If you know of any printed material you can recommend, please do do!

It came ... and went.

(Old) MAC (?) How To Disable the Caps Lock Key 1. Make a copy of the System file (in your System Folder). 2. Open the copy with ResEdit. 3. Open the KCHR resource. 4. Select one of the keyboard layouts (I used the U.S. System 6 layout). 5. Choose Duplicate from the Edit menu. 6. Highlight the duplicate and press Command-I. 7. Name the new layout something like No Caps Lock. 8. Open that layout by double-clicking. 9. Press the Caps Lock key. You'll notice that the picture of the Caps Lock key onscreen darkens. 10. Drag the lower case letters in the upper window to the appropriate spots on the picture of the keyboard (drag "a" to the "A" key). 11. Close and save the window. Quit ResEdit. 12. Name the altered system somthing like Altered System. 13. Drag your real System out of the System Folder and replace it with Altered System (DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR OLD SYSTEM! You might need it again). 14. Once Altered System is in the System Folder, rename it System. 15. Restart your Mac. 16. To get rid of Caps Lock, open the Keyboard control panel and select the No Caps Lock layout. 17. Pushing Caps Lock will now seemingly have no effect.

I hear he kills small animals in his spare time. Are you one? How did you know? I'm the little one. *meow* I dare you ....

Nessa killed the birthday thread.

plonk.

And where have you been since the early 90s?

You just HAD to ruin it for everyone, didn't you.

Yeah, and the "slipcase" is so damn tight that you need pliers to get the damn box out. I actually like the booklet though and the overall look.

Well my friend, while the outside looks kind of nice - a little repro vintage amp - when you pull off the lid, all you see are the CDs literally wedged into slots in regular old gray spongy foam. They're just hanging there in space, no protection, and they easily roll right out onto the floor. By far, hands down the WORST boxed set packaging ever, and certainly the chintzy-est. Hm. I'll try to get a cheap one and repackage it.

This is already turning out to be a GREAT birthday. Thanks!

And how are we going to explain all of that to the others?

You.

Switzerland must be a very lonely place.

WhaT#s wrong with that one? I don't have it yet and was thinking of picking it up soon. Cheers!

And will you please stop inserting smileys from pregnancy.org in my thread, PLEASE.

Well, I, err, woke up, err, and my PC was still running and, err, well, err ... and, err, hm, err ... I screwed up. Alright? I screwed up. HAPPY?

I did as well. Sent you some mail. (I voted for both ) Cheers!

YES! YES! YES!

BTW: I can explain the drop from 99 to 93, just not now. -_-

Ain't that the truth. And I've had it for 93 years already. It does f*ck up the skin, majorly, but I've got my own Nip & Tuck "shop" around the corner, so I get that excess baggage removed every Monday. I get a 15% discount. Cheers!

And what's gotten in to you?
