  1. Another year passed and another birthday. Happy Birthday, Jostber!
  2. Happy Birthday!
  3. My first Clark Terry purchase: Featuring Johnny Griffin, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.
  4. I was told with the heat index, the temperature registered 105 degrees today. I believe it.
  5. My first Julius Watkins cd: Featuring Frank Foster, Hank Mobley, Perry Lopez, George Butcher, Duke Jordan, Oscar Pettiford, Kenny Clarke and Art Blakey.
  6. 91 degrees. Glad I'm off from work today being a holiday. Not looking forward to Tuesday/Wednesday when I return. The forecast looks brutal.
  7. Yes, definitely. Picked this up for a decent price not long ago.
  8. Looks like his last post was June 10. Computer problems again?
  9. I'm pretty fortunate. My doc moved to a smaller office a couple years ago and the waiting time in his newer office is 20 minutes max. Even better, he's a GREAT doctor.
  10. Well, the problem wasn't that I didn't have the connections properly set up. It was the fact that the desktop computer and the router weren't talking to each other. I had to go through a bunch of steps just to get that rectified. Then I had to get the laptop to accept the signal from the wireless router which involved going through a number of steps. It's a given when it comes to computers, clearly I'm no genius. It just seems to me, unless you're pretty knowledgable about this stuff, I really doubt you could figure this stuff out on your own. Well, at least it's running and I'm happy.
  11. Eureka, success! I made a call to Cisco and after about 30 minutes, I now have a wireless connection via my new laptop. I'm sitting outside right now as I type this. Fantastic. I will say there customer service over the phone was excellent. Glad to finally get things up and running. Thanks to all for your suggestions/recommendations.
  12. Well after being busy the past several nights, I decided I would give this another go taking Shawn's suggestions under consideration. I carefully followed his steps but still no dice. What a pain in the ass. I've tried various connections as advised by the cd rom but no connection. The one thing I did notice is when I initially plug the router into the outlet, all 4 numbered lights come on very briefly for a couple seconds and then return to just 1 light. It briefly flashes again to all 4 lights on, then back to 1 where it stays in place. Electrical glitch? I don't know. It really kind of pisses me off when something which appears to be rather simple at least by the given directions, turns out to be a headache. I guess my only other alternative at this point is to get someone over here who knows something about these things and give them a shot. It would be worth the money, since I really dont have the desire to deal with this crap any longer. End of rant!
  13. A pair of Gene Ammons recordings - Big Sound & Groove Blues
  14. My first Blue Mitchell album was Blue Soul. Featuring Jimmy Heath, Curtis Fuller, Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones.
  15. First Frank Rosolino purchase: Features Harold Land and the very familiar names Victor Feldman, Leroy Vinnegar and Stan Levey.

    Risque Blues

    This has always been a favorite of mine released on Rhino Records. A few favorites: Big Long Slidin' Thing by Dinah Washington, The Walkin' Blues(Walk Right In, Walk Right Out) by The Jesse Powell Orchestra with Fluffy Hunter and Sixty Minute Man by The Dominoes.
  17. I suggest reading the manual. They usually provide solutions to the most frequent problems. That's where the trouble STARTS (for me, anyway). There is no manual. Only online instructions. Couldn't get around to making another attempt today. Just too much going on. Hope to give things another shot in a day or so and yes try Shawn's suggestions. Thanks guys for your help. I really appreciate it.
  18. Having to get someone here who has experience with these issues is a real possibility. When I popped in the cd and it described how you connect the cables it WAS very simple. Figured at the time it might be fairly easy. After I had things hooked up, I kept getting an error message instructing to click on the link for the Cisco website for further information. I kept going back over and over thinking perhaps I had made the wrong connections, maybe I had plugged into a wrong port but no possibility of that. Very frustrating to say the least.
  19. I purchased a wireless router today(Linksys E1000) after recently receiving as a anniversary present from my wife a HP laptop. Now besides the Dell desktop which I have upstairs, I can roam all over the house with the laptop which is pretty cool. Now here lies the problem. I've made numerous, many attempts today trying to establish a connection but have failed each time. People telling me, oh yeah it's real easy to do. Bullshit. The directions are fairly straightforward, yes. It's just not working for me. Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I'm running off Windows Vista and a cable modem. The computer is a Dell desktop. Any help would sure be appreciated. I should also add, I did contact Cisco via there chat page but that wasn't much of a help.
  20. My first Donald Bryd purchase, the excellent Bryd In Flight. Featuring: Jackie McLean Hank Mobley Duke Pearson Doug Watkins Reggie Workman Lex Humphries
  21. First Clifford Jordan album - Mosaic Players: Kenny Dorham Sonny Red Tommy Flanagan Cedar Walton Wilbur Ware Albert "Tootie" Heath Elvin Jones
  22. My first Thelonious Monk album was Brilliant Corners. Hope I did that right?
