Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'll probably close up the back room on Monday. That should be enough time for the DNS changes to propagate through the system. The back room will always be there, but there's no need to have it open if things are running here. It'll be ready whenever you decide to do the upgrade to IPB 2.0, Jim! You have admin rights. Feel free to turn it on whenever you need to.

Hooray! B-)

Keep Try!

FYI, here is my disc 2

My track timings match your list above

I can mail out new burns to Jim and Al. Just let me know!

Oh yeah. You had to take the purple bridge into the black or white castle and use it to enter a sealed room. Once you had the dot, it allowed you to go right through those barriers to the secret room!

FIGHTER CAPTURED

Lately, I've been encoding with LAME 3.96.1 and using the --preset fast medium setting. The average bit rate is around 160 and everything I've thrown at it sounds great. It's more than good enough for the car and office, and allows me to cram a few more albums on my 20 gig iPod. B-)

http://jimdye.com/mfvv/2005/05/inaugural-podcast.html My first podcast. Not much in the way of commentary, but I wanted to try this out to see what y'all thought about the sound quality, file size, length, etc... The mic I am using is a crappy computer microphone, so sorry about the popping. I have some old scripts a friend and I wrote when I was doing jazz radio about 12 years ago. I thought I could put them to good use and create some interesting content. I hope you can put some together, Ghost! edit: fixed the link!

Sell it. Travel light if you can.

Discs received Monday. Burning completed today. Mail goes out tomorrow.

Wrinkles!

Did you like the record? or

Definitely get the Yo Miles shows. it's Leo Smith and Henry Kaiser covering 1970's Miles. Excellent stuff.

Here you go! http://www.hmv.co.jp/Product/detail.asp?JAN=4988017626948

I have a Blue Note retail sign from the late 80's. I am considering selling it, but I'm not sure what to expect. It's made of some sort of hardened foam material and painted white and blue. Should I keep it? Any ideas? (The ipod is there just to show scale)

All the best! Happy Birthday, Joe!

Hey Flurin, I grabbed that show last night as well. I have an eMac at home. It looks like he is using the *nix version of FLAC installed through FINK, rather than the Mac GUI version. I'll check it out after work and see if I'm getting the same error. Jim

We're ready for the playoffs at the Dye house!

People posing as hospital inspectors in Detroit, other cities, draw attention of federal authorities Friday, April 22, 2005 By MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Federal authorities are looking into three closely bunched incidents in which people posing as inspectors were caught nosing around hospitals in Boston, Detroit and Los Angeles. No arrests have been made and there is no evidence to suggest that the cases are linked or that there is a tie to terror groups, federal officials said. "We do not possess any specific intelligence that there is a terrorism nexus to these reports," Homeland Security spokeswoman Kathleen Montgomery said Friday. But the department is monitoring the incidents through local law enforcement authorities and FBI agents also have been called in, officials said. The hospitals, which officials refused to identify, reported the cases in late February and early March to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, which evaluates 4,500 hospitals in the United States. Commission surveyors often turn up unannounced to look at records, observe patient care and visit parts of hospitals that are closed to the public. A federal law enforcement official and commission executives said it is not uncommon for people to seek entry to hospitals in search of drugs or medical supplies. The commission also has seen attempts by relatives of patients to seek faster access to care, said commission spokeswoman Charlene Hill. But the recent incidents were unusual both because they occurred so close to one another and did not appear to be related to patient care. "That's what prompted our concern," Hill said. The commission alerted authorities and hospitals, and reminded hospital executives that legitimate inspectors follow established procedures and are instructed to answer questions when hospital personnel challenge them, said Joe Cappiello, the commission's vice president for accreditation/field operations. In the first instance, a well-dressed man and woman in their mid-30s showed up in the middle of the night at a Los Angeles hospital with badges that resemble those carried by commission inspectors. They left when questioned by hospital staff. Three days later, a bearded man in his 30s or 40s of either South Asian or Middle Eastern origin was confronted at a Boston hospital. He, too, departed when questioned. On March 10, a middle-aged woman who identified herself as a commission inspector fled a Detroit hospital's maternity ward when confronted. None of the commision's 350 to 400 surveyors was scheduled to visit the three hospitals on thse days, Hill said. Inspectors are supposed to report to hospital security or the front desk when they arrive, Capiello said. They carry a letter signed by the organization's executive vice president and accredited hospitals also can sign on to a secure Web site to compare inspectors' badges with a facsimile posted there, Hill said.

I think the Chesterfields had the stamps too. My grandmother smoked 'em until the day she died. I always remember seeing piles of green stamps on her kitchen counter. Maybe I'm confusing the coupons with the green stamps you used to get at the grocery store.

What about Chesterfields? I need 25 more green stamps to get my free couch.

Excellent! I'll be up north (near Greenville) right around that time. Hope to catch you guys at one of the gigs.
