recovery and possible improvement in web, work and music stuff

One of the other Teen Directors from the Y came into the Teen Center while I was working and suggested that I go for Andy's old position. Being the Adventure Director would put me in charge of Ropes, Ski Club, Earth Service Corps and probably LITs (next summer, since she's been given that responsibility for this summer). I might be able to handle that. The consant hours and possibility of Benefits are really enticing. She's gonna put some feelers out for me, and have the guy who's covering most of Andy's ropes stuff call me. I also found out that the sports director doesn't have a college degree, so that makes me a little more hopeful about getting a position like that.

iPod died; Called the AppleCare number and went through some attempts to recover it by pushing certain button combinations... none of them worked. So I went to the Apple store in Braintree and they hooked it up to their machine and officially declared it dead. Then they gave me a new one. I'm cleaning up my iTunes library a bit, in preparation for loading the new iPod from scratch. While I'd like to blame the failure on the iGrip sticky pad in my car failing to hold the iPod and it flying off the dash to its doom... that simply isn't the case. The sticky pad actually works really well.

I decided, today, that I probably will move over to the new web host, at least with most of the sites. I might as well leave something here... since it's paid for as a "Lifetime" account. The price seems more than reasonable and I think I can pull it off with very little downtime, if I use some of my alternate domains to set up temporary mirror sites. Hopefully, you won't even notice the difference... unless the upgrades add some new features, or force me to lose old ones.

On Monday, we had our first practice for the new band and I had a good time. The people are really nice, it should be a lot of fun. The writing part is always kind of tedious for me, especially in a really loud, full band, situation. Hopefully we can get together in a slightly more quiet setting soon, so I can actually start writing parts and remembering them.
