Getting Ahead, Recordings and the Internet
This my last day of work at CLS for the week. Tomorrow morning, I’ll be heading to Jonathan Creek to record their praise band. I’ll be back on Friday. While I’ll be “working” at J-Creek, there’ll be a lot of downtime. Some of the downtime will be spent getting a jump start on mixing the J-Creek portion of the recording. Some of the downtime, I’ll actually be doing some work for CLS, remotely. The rest of the downtime, I hope to be kicked back reading a book or something of the like.
I’m attempting to get everything squared away today, so that my absence from CLS for the next three days won’t be noticed as much. I’m getting all the art ready, getting orders written up, invoices sent out, etc. But, it’s difficult when our internet is down! It seems we had a billing glitch with our service provider, so they shut off our internet. We’ve been told it will be 72 hours before we’re back up-and-running. Needless to say, we’re heavily considering making a quick switch of providers. Not good business on our current provider’s end.
Through all of this, however, I can highly recommend Sprint’s mobile broadband service. We’re using a laptop with one of their USB cards to get by in the mean time. It’s very close to broadband speed, and has helped us keep up around here. My boss’s comment: “It’s good that it finally came in handy that I also own a cell phone store.” Yes, that it is. The only catch to the broadband cards is they only work on Windows PC’s. Bummer. Otherwise, I’ve been impressed with its performance.
So, the next time you hear from me, I’ll be blogging from J-Creek.
