I finally have a job. It's at MKC Networks, doing product support for their tres cool SIP PBX (basically a VoIP office phone switch) It's actually the same one I worked on at Mitel Networks (Mitel Networks was contracted to do the initial support and release, IIRC) so I know the product.
I'm tres happy, and I'm going out to see South of 78, and the Fiftymen tonight at Irene's so if anyone wants to come out and celebrate with me, as well as listen to some kick-ass alt-country, the more the merrier.

So as I'm discovering more and more people are actually reading this thing, I decided to put my erstwhile influence to talk about something I really believe in. Like Pimping music by local bands I like. In that Vein, I bring you
Matt's Record Reviews
So last night I went to the CD Release Party for Chris Page's new CD Decide to stay and swim I first discovered chris page probably about a year and a half ago, and I was really struck by his music. It's very sparse, usually he goes on stage with just his Les Paul, and a really nice amp. It's all really fast-paced, stripped-down power-pop style electric guitar playing, but with no accompaniment at all, just his very good vocals on top of it. The music begs comparison to Billy Bragg, but without all the political content.
Opening for Chris Page was the GoldenSeals, and Andrew Vincent and the Pirates. Read more for a review of the show. Suffice it to say, you should go out right now and buy both Chris Page's CD and AV's If you're still not convinced, check out these tracks by Chris Page and AV

Upgraded the OS on the folkwolf today. If you notice anything weird ... and you probably will ... let either chris or I know, and we'll fix it for you, if we can, when we get around to it.

Well, I've started to backport my old weblog entries into the new system, enough so that the page isn't glaringly bare. So here it is. The old blog is at http://folkwolf.net/~mattrose/blog.html, if there's something there you want to see.

I have decided to enter the 21st century, webwise, and ditch my older, simpler weblog in favour a shiny new Moveable Type system, with all the bells and whistles.

This definitely wins the award for "The best Legal Document of the Year", and maybe of all time. The lawyer who wrote it shows a dry, subtle sense of humour in writing a defense of, and a history of The F word

YAY! (search for Black Rock Paper). In short. The Good people that run Burning Man are big believers in our Black Rock Paper project, and are giving us prime real estate at Center Camp, so that we can get lots of people at our camp, and lots of paper to recycle into pretty new paper!
