10/28/2005	hardware upgrade thanks to pj for recommending a new motherboad for ye olde server. i now have a print server once again, and jeffcovey.net should be more reliable. the venerable pentium 200 with 96mb of ram has given way to an 800mhzish machine with a shocking 512mb of ram, so there should be no more waking to a screen full of out-of-memory errors. enjoy!

05/02/2005	401(k) common wisdom has always told me that if you have the chance to invest in a 401(k) plan, you should jump at it. i've never been so sure, and even after being tempted again recently, i'm still ambivalent at best. what can you do when you'd like to participate, but all your options are awful? click here for more...

04/22/2005	the second batch of mp3s here's me by myself around junior recital time. click here for more...
04/21/2005	mp3s of my music days here's one from the long-time-coming department. i finally got around to getting some of the recordings from my college days digitized. i ended up just going back to the umbc recording studio, and they did a great job. unfortunately, they weren't able to give me the only thing i really wanted, mp3s of my senior recital. after three months, they said they no longer have a dat player, and couldn't transfer it, nor the two other dats i had. :( if anyone has a lead for getting this done, please let me know. in the meantime, we're stuck with what they could transfer, the cassettes. the first batch combines the low-definition charm of the microphone on my boombox with the earnest but ability-challenged efforts of myself and friends during our first year at school. enjoy! click here for more...
04/18/2005	cds for sale i went through my remaining cds and found that more are now listed on amazon, so i've updated my forsale page. take a look if you'd like some music. click here for more...
04/14/2005	pioneers as part of spring cleaning, i've finally read through and purged with extreme prejudice the huge, incriminating folder of embarrassingly awful poetry, short stories, and plays (!) i wrote in high school and college. out of it all, i found one poem that i thought was worth typing and keeping. it runs the risk of glorifying people who were essentially invaders, but i think that at least the writing is good, and it gives a little look into their own varying perspectives. click here for more...

03/27/2005	yes, i'm still here if you haven't seen anything new here in a while, you can at least enjoy what isn't here now. :) for the past few weeks, i've been going through my site bit by bit, day by day, and cleaning out a lot of the cruft that has accumulated over the years. i hope it's getting a bit clearer and simpler.

01/12/2005	lilypond at last! i suppose some dist-upgrade must have made me worthy at last; the contributed lilypond 2.4 package finally works for me, so i can do some of the projects that have been waiting for it. the first is an update to the bach air score from joe neeman. in addition to using a newer lilypond, it now provides both score and parts. thanks, joe! click here for more...
