Atlanta ColdFusion Users Group
Last night I attended the Atlanta ColdFusion Users Group meeting. The meetings are held at the Macquarium on Peachtree Street. This meeting was very informative as are most. The speaker entitled "Advanced ColdFusion 7" and presented by Steve Drucker. Steve is one of the princials in the web consultancy, training and sales company known as Figleaf. The firm has offices in Atlanta and the D.C. area.
The meeting offered a taste of a new course offering called "Advanced ColdFusion 7". Steve did a very good job of interesting me in attending his course. I've checked the calendar and am trying to figure the best times to attend this 3-day course.

Owen is in San Francisco
I have recently found my old friend Owen Smith. He's living in San Francisco. I've google on Owen's name from time to time over the past few years, but no luck. I was recently talking to another old friend, Cliff Davenport, and the where abouts of Owen Smith came up in our conversation. Cliff was at his computer and checked cdbaby.com. Sure enough, there he was. Owen is marketing a cd of his classical guitar performances on this web site. The site even supplied an email link to Owen. I tried it out and had a reply in a couple of days. I was hoping to see Owen in San Francisco in December. Jaime and I are planning a trip there. Unfortunately, Owen is planning a skiing trip at the same time. Maybe next time.
I still have an epic amount of catching up to do with Owen. There has been so much water under the bridge that I hardly know where to start. I expect I'll start by refering Owen to this blog.

George is Employed!
My youngest son, George, has recently gained employment at TSYS. He's working as a Business Analysis. I called at work during lunch of his first day on the job. I have never heard him so excited. He finishing his second week. Earlier this week, he was still very excited. I believe that he will do well. George has a gift for getting along well with people.
It's Been a Long Time
I been taking a break posting to my blog. No reason. In fact, it's hard to believe that it was June 6 that I posted last. Time to post more regularly.
I've been busy weekends composing music contained in my great-grandmother's poetry book named "Songs of Praise and Victory". My great-grandmother was also a musician and the composer of "The AP&L Polka". As far as I know, she never wrote music for these words.
At the end 2004, I made a pledge to myself to try and compose music for one of her poems. I never would have expected that I could have composed music for 25 poems before November. In fact, I didn't compose the first one until May. So I have actually been completing about one poem each week. Most of the work on this is done on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
In addition to writing the music, I also have completed scoring and performing the required instruments. All of this work is being done on the Apple Mac G5 running Garageband software.
For the vocal performance, I have been renting studio time from Ben Morgan. Ben has done the engineering. I have been spending about $50 per song for a demo vocal. Though I have been very pleased with the instrumental arrangements and performances, the vocal performances are very weak. This is primarily due to the fact that I am not a singer and secondarily to the shortness of time that I have been able to afford at Ben's studio.
I have hopefully solved the studio time issue by purchasing a Studio Project C1 microphone and a Tascam 122 analog to digital converter. I have assembled the parts and will install the Tascam software on my G5 on Friday. Hopefully, if all goes well, I'll be recording vocals on Saturday morning.
