New strings

I put new strings on Baby yesterday, and they'll take a few days to settle. Every thime I pick it up it sounds like a different instrument. My initial impression is that they make Baby even louder, and it's easier to get a consistent tone at a low volume, too, which is much cooler. I'll have to see what they sound like tonight.

I had been using a Zyex G, D, and A with a Pirastro Oliv gold E. I'm trying out the spendier Eva Pirazzis on G, D, and A, but stuck with a (new! shiny!) Oliv gold E. I luvs my gold E string.

Mostly, I'm writing this because I can never remember when I last changed strings.

Back in business!

Gonzales and I are poised to take over the internet!

At procesing speeds that would make LuTze pale and Erik's laptop faint dead away, with the extra zip provided by a real honest-to-goodness ethernet cable that doubles the speed I got on wifi, and whole pastures full of ram, I'm ready to fill Gonzales' massive hard-drives with the ENTIRE INTERNET.

I have to make sure the internet doesn't take us over first, so if anyone has used any of the 64 bit firewalls and either liked or hated them, please let me know. I'm downloading a trial of Lavasoft's firewall and avast anti-virus as we speak.

ARRIBA! ARRIBA! ANDALE!
