How I came to be here:

Yesterday, I posted a CD of original music to Jamendo. Part of the registration process required me to post a particular snippet of HTML verbatim on “my website.”

Well, that’s a bit of a problem. The closest I have to a website is my Wikipedia user page. It didn’t work when I put it there. So I found myself searching the net for a place to call home–fast.

Here is where I landed. Turns out it’s a pretty cool place. I still haven’t explored it fully; as you may guess, I spend most of my free time making music. I figure I’ll invest some time here and see what I find.

This would have been the “good” result in yesterday’s Internet Hejira. Besides that little adventure, I had to wrestle with firewall configurations, port forwarding, and assorted other bits of techno-mayhem in order to get Azureus to work. What I don’t get is this: it was working fine before Thanksgiving. But for 10 hours, I was without P2P file sharing capability because some little gremlin had snizzled a widget in the configuration somewhere.

So, finally, here I am, with all the pieces in place, waiting for my album to be published on Jamendo. I’m excited, and exhausted. More later.
