My congas shipped today (finally!) Musicians Friend has very good customer service (they answer the phone right away) but they said they were changing warehouses right now so everything was kind of messed up.

It's just running from a loooooooong mp3 list put on random

For a limited time only (well, as long as it works) Bavetta.com Internet Radio is broadcasting. You can get to it by the new link on the frame on the left.

Hey! Here's a cool science thingamabober that I just discovered while fiddling around at work today. I noticed that if you take a rubber band, stretch it between your fingers, hold it vertically infront of the computer screen and then flick it, you can see the motion of the rubber band. It is very cool! Try it!

PHEW! At one time today there were 30 people that were waiting in line with a question at LTOL.

Dad and I went on a long bike ride up the flume trail around Tahoe today. I'm pooped.

How to play the congas

I'm going to install this soon and try to host Bavetta.com on my home computer.

I installed Windows XP Release Canadate 1 (Beta) last night. I like it. It runs faster than Windows Me and has more stuff in it. The mouse even has a shadow. It says you can do a thing like "PCanywhere" or "laplink", through the help software, where you can work on someone elses computer over the net (it's made so geeks can fix other people's computers)

I just got a pen and tablet for the computer. It was pretty cheap and works really well. I like it.

Mumbo Gumbo rocks

I just added a few new items to the Bavetta.com store.

Mumbo Gumbo is comming to the Truckee Regional Park this afternoon at around 5:30!

phew! 4 days of no access to my site.

I no longer like the "doteasy.com" web hosting place. They disabled my ftp access (the only way I make changes to the site including posting things like this, the webcam, and everything else) because I had a webcam and was dragging down their connection. Ya, right. if it hardly dents my connection how could it ever impact their T1. Anyway, I've been down for 3 days now and will probably not be up again for another day or two. BOOOO!!!!!

-Take you hands away from the keyboard and please step back. You've done enough damage already.-

Can't connect to the internet? Well, we have a very good tutorial on our web site.

I just did a big site move. Now everything should be under "bavetta.com" Apparently Pacbell was dropping their hosting service and any pages in it would be deleted (that's being considerate). I found this place called "doteasy.com" which does web hosting without banners for a one-time fee of $35 - not bad, not bad at all.

I've been having fun making Bavetta.com ads. Check them out here
