When production outstrips the ability to move product, something has got to slow down and let infrastructure catch up.  Wouldn't call it so much a bust as much as a prudent pause. 

I still dabble in renewable energy (purely as a consultant), the paper says ME, but other interests won out...... music just wasn't one of them.

Not losing any sleep over that, and steering clear of any medicos that prescribe stuff that you can't just quit if you want to.  Got one for depression that warned that you should "only stop taking this medication under orders and supervision of your Physician" , followed by the warning "failure to do so can result in irritability, nausea or death.".   Say what!?!  Maybe I should just shoot myself now and avoid all that anger, and vomiting!  Funny thing though, I didn't mention depression..... just wanted something to help me get to sleep once in awhile.  That is just an "off-label" side effect.  Thanks, I'll sip the Brandy and take "Ways to not wake up Dead...... for $400 Alex". 

Greetings Bill,  Getting any sleep?  Anyway the secure connection has something to do with the HTTPS: security protocol that it seems everybody has gone to.  It encrypts everything you transmit and receive to prevent "snooping", or spoofing you to malicious sites (works kinda like the "newer, nicer, simpler IRS".  All that encrypting and decrypting takes processor cycles that could be getting to the task of actually taking you where you want to go and displaying what you want to look at.  You should be able to disable the feature in your browser settings/preferences under security.

Generally if you type your requested site in the url box at the top of the browser window without the preface www or http, it should just whisk you off to webland without all the hocus-pocus.  Your defender antivirus and firewall should be able to filter out invalid certificates anyway, and I would suppose you aren't one of those folks that just clicks on everything that might pop-up warning you about detected malware and free ways to speed up your computer "just because we noticed it"...... nothing on the internet is "free" and if you didn't request it, you shouldn't click-it!.

But then again you might as well be doing something while you're waiting fir the darn thing to connect to our "secure server"...... like a few choruses of "Waiting for the World To Change" by John Mayer?

Take Care Bud;

Simon Cowell would say something like:  "If you win, you should take some of the money, hire a lawyer....... and sue your voice coach!".

Most can get around a "short scale" (25 1/2") guitar, but a smaller body might be more comfortable.  Really though it all depends on the age of your student.

YES !!!!!  Actually having a backup locally as well as on the "cloud" is preferable.  I'm not that trusting of the online boys so far as keeping my stuff safe, from harm or prying eyes. Thumb drives are excellent as well as portable hard drives (which is what I use), and at least every 6 months I burn a copy to recordable DVD that absolutely makes sure a crash or other such catastrophe doesn't wipe out all those photos etc..

Good Afternoon Bill,  Clean install just means that the hard drive is giong to be, or has been reformatted so there are no files from the prior installation on it.

Generally you would just shut off your PC with the windows CD in the drive.  Switch it on and hit the "boot options" key when the first screen appears (commonly F12 or F2, depending on your brand), and choose CD drive as the first boot device option.  That should allow the CD to boot the machine and open the installation file.  Then choose reformat the drive C: and let the installation run through the process.  At the end of the installation, it should ask you to remove the disk and restart the computer (it will boot from the hard disk when there is no optical disk in the CD drive) and then you can restore your personal files and preferences from your backup.  You do have one made recently don't you? (fingers crossed);)

That should put you with a clean installation with your stuff back where it was before and with the possibility of reactivating your windows + a few updates...... ready to run!

Drop me a mail if you have additional questions, I check mine often.

Here's something to consider.  Copyright!  It is one thing to cover another artist's work on you-tube or soundcloud or what's-your-flavor-of -the -week.  Another altogether to do so and derive monetary gain (even if earmarked for charity, or next to nothin'). 

Seems to me that when we had first discussed such a project in the recording section (and I should add that the timing was about the same as that MPAA rant that had everyone sitting on pin-cushions awaiting lawsuits, including Chordie!), we kinda decided that we should limit contributions to "original" works of the members to aviod involving the site in litigation over credit and percentages or waivers.

Just a suggestion for additional discussion.

I'm gonna guess full picture & comments (with political correctness)

But honestly my first thoughts were something about something and a woman police constable..... ???

It rained a little here today, so I must have got some rust in the works.

Hey, I took mine apart a year ago and removed a small poodle's worth of fluff from between the fan and "radiator"!  I blow it out often with that canned air, and never never NEVER run it on any kind of soft surface like couch cushion or blanket. Laptops are notorious for heat control issues..... not a lot of room in there for circulation, and who thought putting all the intakes on the bottom was a good idea?

Cooler pads are a good investment!

Did you miss the part about "some but not all Android devices"?  What do you suppose the odds are that one of us has the same make and model that you have sitting in a drawer somewhere so we can duplicate your problem.  Also, you mention "droid phone"..... are you using the phone app? or just hitting the webpage (which is not optimized for mobile devices)?

Screenshot, make/model, and all the info Please.

Thanks

Well Bill you could from the video link I posted........ but I'm a bit busy at the moment (as are you!!).

As to the Guitar Question, Godin and I think it is the multiac nylon.  They have a distinctive "soundhole" which is actually the tone/volume and sliders for bass,mid,treble, etc.  The Godin signature is also visible just above the fretboard on the body.

The Earl of Malmsteen really likes that phrygian mode and is really fast, but somehow lacking in the musicality of many newer artists out there.

Bill as a percussionist, I should have included something by Antione Dufur.  Another of our talented neighbors to the North: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQlyHbu0zz4

The percussive fingerstyle is popular these days it seems, and traces it's roots to the Gipsy/Flamenco genre. But as you can see.... can be somewhat overdone and repetative (no offense to Antoine, but this example does drag a bit towards the end).

Enjoy;
Doug
