Oh yes.
I got word from my awesome Sweetwater rep. today that my APC40 will ship on the 29th or 30th of the month. I can’t wait to get my hands on this thing.
Thankfully, it works with Ableton Live 7 as well as 8 because I am still stuck on 7 at the moment. Upgrading has not been in the budget with Capitals playoff tickets being added to the expenses. They should just add 4 rounds of playoff tickets to season ticket packages, and simply reimburse or credit account holders the difference if the team is eliminated early or doesn’t make the playoffs. Would make budgeting much easier.

Seriously, every time?
I last put my iPhone on the dock about 8 hours ago, when I went to sleep.
They really need to have a setting or something to do this less often for the applications. Nothing changed on my iPhone applications over night. Not a single thing. Can’t they implement a check for that before beginning the back up process?
Oooooooh! Now we’re moving!

I was all set to upgrade to Leopard tonight, but M-Audio hasn’t updated their drivers yet. Whisky Tango Foxtrot. Is M-Audio so broke they can’t afford to join the ADC and get the developer seeds? Hell, grab a bittorrent client and your favorite tracker and ANYONE could have them. It isn’t like the announcement of Leopard’s release came as some big shock to the developer community. I don’t understand why at least SOME progress could not have been made on the drivers.
So, basically, I could update my MacBook Pro, but then my UC-33, Axiom 25 and FireWire 1814 could quite possibly be rendered useless. As I have some music I need to work on, I can’t exactly take that risk so I’ll just have the shrink wrapped Leopard box taunting me until M-Audio pulls their head out of their ass. My next gear purchase will certainly be Korg.
Also, I can’t find the totally awesome mask I was going to make my cats wear.
I’m going to go watch a movie or late-night television or something and feed the cats some treats. Then back here to record an angry evil psytrance mix.
As I previously mentioned, my Super Drive on my MacBook Pro had stopped burning CDs. DVDs were fine, and it would read any media. It just wouldn’t burn CDs. I found out Friday when I went to pick it up from the Genius Bar that it wasn’t the Super Drive but the logic board that had gone bad. I just got a call from the Apple Store saying my logic board is in, so I need to drop it back off.
I’d do it tonight so I could pick it up tomorrow, but I actually have work I need to get done tonight at home, and I haven’t actually left the office yet. I’m thinking I need to buy AppleCare before January, just in case I have any more issues. My warranty expires on January 9, 2008.
In other news, work has been hectic, and more is coming in. This is good though, as I don’t really like to be idle. It just happens to come at a time when there are a lot of personal projects I want to be knocking out as well. Which is kind of a bummer.
And now, a random article on Wikipedia
