LRV and MSN

Ever have a tune wedged in your head, so that every time you turn around it's there? Yeah, I've had that over the last day or so...except instead of being "Crash Into Me" by the Dave Matthews Band or "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, it's the music intro to "Radiant Tigers" from my CD in progress.

I guess that this is a good sign. But it is still, ultimately, annoying.

Went across the street yesterday to help a neighbor I've known forever...her MSN software wasn't working, it wouldn't dial out. She needed someone who knew their way around a computer to help her...we spent hours on hold with the MSN call center in...Argentina...before we could speak to a resolution specialist who had us uninstall/delete the MSN Connection Center. It seems they've been having a lot of people call with this probelem...when you have both MSN and MSN Connection Center on your system they get into an argument over user profiles and modem access and as a result, your system basically locks up.

So after approximately 4 hours with the MSN call center, we had her back up and on her way. If you are having a similar problem...you might want to try that and save yourself a few hours of frustration while the extremely polite and oddly accented CSR keeps saying "I will need to place you on hold for just twenty more seconds" or "I will be back within two minutes with a resolutions specialist".

Well, now that we have a label for the CD and the contents...I guess it is time to work on the packaging...bleah.

Yes, you did note that on the sample label I do credit Selke (background vocals), E.J. (engineering) and Alan MacDonald (advice and musical/technical advice). Just those three. In the acknowledgements and credits to the CD there is a much more massive list of people whom have been important in the evolution of this work.
