A quick post… I’m in Toronto and having a good time. Missing my darling and my son, though.

I got a new laptop, a Dell Latitude E6500. It’s great, but I’ve been having problems getting it to suspend or hibernate. It would just sit there and try, but fail. The fix was to roll-back to the prior version of the Creative integrated webcam driver. I had updated the driver from Windows Update, and evidently the new one is no good. The version that’s working is 1.3.2.919, dated 9/19/2008. Thanks to “eprosound” on the Dell forums for the tip.

I’ll be spinning at Sencity 2009 here in Jyväskylä. I’m seriously looking forward to this gig for a number of reasons. First off, this is my first gig in my (new) home town… so that’s wicked. I haven’t gotten my ass out the door enough since moving here to find any cool clubs… I know they’re here but I’ve never visited them. Fixing that problem :)

Second, I’ll be busting out my Numark Stealth Control, which has turned out to be a lovely piece of hardware. I’ve been playing with lots of different configurations, and have settled on one that works for More >
