Apple’s iTunes Support is the ultimate joke, I originally submitted a ticket to them on December 4, 2009 on the issue of not able to download pre-purchased content such as TV shows from season passes, pre-ordered albums, and movies. When I go to Store -> Check for available downloads it gives me the Error “Unable to Check for available downloads the iTunes Store is temporally unavailable.”

The first support technician replied 48 hours after submission on December 6, 2009, which is a far cry off from what is listed on the Apple Support site of 24 hour or less response time. Though that was the first contact from Apple iTunes Support Team I wouldn’t hear back from them for another 6 days. I ended up calling Apple Support, and even though the Technical Support Representative really wanted to help me when she asked her Supervisor how she was to get in touch with the iTunes Support team she was told that I would have to wait for iTunes Support by email only support. So I waited. Read the rest of this entry »

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets’, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

John’s favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all! When he went to  investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. Read the rest of this entry »

I get to shoot another wedding in the next month or so, which means it gives me an excuse to buy a new lens. I’m looking at the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens. It would be my first zoom lens as I currently only have Prime Lenses.

On other news I’ve recently bought into the Avid Technology owned Digidesign Mbox 2 family with Pro Tools LE 8. It is fun to play with all the soft synths, and my keyboard controller the M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 just rocks with it. The main reason I bought into Pro Tools is so that I could have clean audio vocal recordings for when I make audio books for my nephews out of children books. Also it is nice to have an industry standard audio application that has a clear upgrade path for such things as 7.1 surround sound mixing for future endeavors.

Avid is one of my favorite companies for Pro level applications. I originally started out with them with Avid Xpress Pro which is now discontinued. Their flagship Editing software Media Composer dropped in price which made Xpress Pro not a viable option. Plus, Media Composer is so much more powerful and feature rich that it was a good move on Avid’s part to drop Xpress Pro.

Once again Google’s Gmail is down. Very frustrating when I need to get access to some information that is stored in my email and I can’t get to it. I was thinking about paying for a Business account but with so many outages recently I’m starting to think that might be a bad idea.

All I get is a blank white screen and a infinite rotating icon in Safari.

I guess it is time for me to get a power nap in before I have to be at work in an hour.

I’ve removed the redirect that was in place, which moved visitors to a version 9 site directory. I decided that the redirect might have caused some readers to get bounced.

The Photo Blog will have select photos that I have uploaded to Flickr.
