Apparently, the webcasting deal passed the House Judiciary Committee, that’s a big step to final passage. Looks like the webcasters had to swallow some higher rates than they wanted in order to avoid the CARP fees kicking in, but at least this is back to being based on a percent of revenue, like broadcast radio has been for years.

Compaq is picking it up this afternoon and taking it in to be fixed under warranty. Thank God for warranties, I didn’t really want to replace the motherboard myself, too many other…
Maybe “toughing it out until 5” wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. In my weakened mental state I think I just agreed to do some on-the-side consulting work for an organization that I’m not all that fond of dealing with as part of my regular job! Oh well, it’s one machine, a couple of…
