..... .... ..... ..... ..... Your title is being loaded...

Howdy World!
 Back from the transformer again, still using the firefox beta. Chrome let's me use my google account to log in and sync my stuff with chrome, but so far I'm noticing that in spite of a little graphical trouble, Firefox is easier to use and renders my pages more like the desktop version.  Case in point, chrome wouldn't let me blog!!

So.. what's with the funky title? Today I tried out my source code on ICS and it had a hissy fit!! android.os.networkonmainthread exception (or something very similar...) Apparently, and with good reason, I'm not allowed to start processing network requests directly from the main thread... or well.. do much of  anything since it can crash the os or freeze it whatever..

So let's dive into the fun world of IntentServices. Basically just make an intent service and a receiver class and presto! Problem solved!! Neat right? Obviously that's a lot simpler than it is in actuality, but y'all don't really care about all the complex code do you?

On the guitar front... maybe I'll get a chance to try tuning it tonight! I think I got 1 string in tune on Sunday, and replaced 5 of the strings. One of my pegs doesn't have a place to grip so I have to tune with a pair of pliers ... suck!!

Looking forward to the weekend! Will be buying some wood and building a chest of drawers if it all goes well! Maybe I'll look at the plan if I have a chance and modify it a little to have secret panels!! (probably not)

Anyway, see you space cowboy!
