Automatically appends the backups filename with _BACKUP_DATE_TIME format.
Option to save (or not) unmodified workspaces.
Will not initiate a save while Qlab 2 is actively playing a cue.

Here is my 2006 Triumph Bonneville. It all started with a visit to the local dealer to look at the new 09’s and they had this decked out beauty on the floor. The plan had been to wait until March or April to buy a bike and seeing as I don’t have my license to ride yet makes this purchase even funnier. I found a funny quote on one of the forums I frequent.

“Buying a bike in winter is like buying a box of condoms 2 months before your first date.”

It’s true. I have been out on it a few times thanks to a friend of mine who rides. However, with a new show about to open at work it looks like I won’t be able to really get it all together until April. It’s pretty insane how fast the Motor Cycle Safety Foundation classes got booked in March…so..now I wait.

This bike it loaded with extras the new ones don’t come with. This bike has extra chrome, a windshield, engine guard, aftermarket shocks, custom pikes (which are as loud as the apocalypse) and even a cigarette lighter in the dash. There are also a lot of other little touches that made this a great deal. Out the door, the bike has 2400 miles on it. Amazing.

Now….if I could only just get on the road….

Here is a video someone took of the inauguration concert I was the FOH engineer for. Elvis Costello also performed however, most of the evening was spent with the legendary Sam Moore. The Grateful Dead showed up…and were about to go on until they decided to pull the plug. The night ended with Billy Baldwin storming the stage and screaming “Obama! Obama!” into one of the open mics. Priceless.

Well….it’s been a fairly long time since I have updated this page. Lots has been happening I guess. So here are all the updates I might have posted here….had I actually been a good blogger.

Chicago:
I spent a week in the Chicagoland area this summer visiting family and friends. It was great to see everyone…there was much drinking and it was VERY hot while I was there. Also…as an added bonus…I ended up in a hotel room with a couple next door screaming all night. Not that kind of screaming…it was the I’m leaving you here kind of screaming. It wasn’t exactly a rest filled vacation.

Fairbanks, AK:
Yup…I spent a week in Fairbanks, Alaska this summer. The sun never went down…which really screws with ones sense of time after a while. It’s absolutely beautiful there. I would love to go back…in summer….because when an Alaskan tells you that -40F in winter sucks, someone like me would probably struggle to top that description. I also noted on several occasions that someone with my set of skills would be hards pressed to make any sort of living there. Sadly…I did not spot any moose.

Motorcycles:

I want one…and plan on getting one next riding season. It should be one of these if you’re looking to buy me a gift.

Code!
I have successfully gotten my first OSX and iPhone apps running. It is all my own code. I still have quite a bit more learning to do but, seeing as I knew next to nothing about computer programing 6 months ago, I’m pretty excited about this step in my learning curve. Apps and downloads coming soon.

Julius Caesar and Anthony and Cleopatra…in rep. There are many live percussion instruments in Julius Caesar…which is cool.

The shows close on July 6th at the Shakespeare Theatre in DC.
