JSBChorales.net revision
New pages with server side includes means .shtml on all back pages.
A new revision of the entire web site at JSBChorales.net will go up this weekend, July 28. The index page and the text-only page will be the same, but the extension on all other back pages will be changed from .html to .shtml. There will be some 404 errors at first, but I have tracked down the links to back pages I could find and notified the owners so that they could change their links to the home page.

Kernel Panic revisited
After the reformat and install, the panics have gone away.
The problem seemed to be asking iTunes to do too many things at once. Now I ask iTunes to do only one task at a time and the system is again working without a glitch.

Kernel Panic
The first kernel panic in OS X yesterday, another today.
I have experienced my first kernel panic on OS X, once yesterday and once today. A very scary thing, the first time that gray shade comes down over the monitor screen, then the black dialog box appears with “You must restart your computer now, hold down the power button for several seconds” in four languages.
Both times I was working in iTunes, renaming files. The first time the iPod was connected, so I thought maybe there was a hardware problem, but the second time it wasn’t. Both times I sent the undecipherable report to Apple. Only they know what is going on. And they might not.
So I don’t know what the problem is. So now to housekeeping. Back up. Reformat. Fresh system, fresh software, rebuild the files. Put no unnecessary stuff on the drive.
This will keep me busy for about 2 days, plus. So even the posts that were rolling around in my head aren’t going to see the light of day for longer than I thought.
I hope that this problem, whatever it is, will be solved. This is the first time I have had any problem with OS X. Though I have noticed that iTunes crashes a lot.
Well, to work, now I have a to-do list. A long one.
Year half over
Those resolutions, how have they fared?
Well, it is the end of June, the year is half over. Time for checking in with those resolutions, made around Christmas last year. Simplify, Take a Break from Agendas (mine and other people’s), Take Each Day One Day at a Time.
I have succeeded fairly well. When I stopped making lists of things to do, I noticed that the most necessary projects came to the fore, and I was able to take care of them without distractions. I have had the time and energy to take unexpected changes in stride, and make decisions without driving myself crazy.
This is all very general, seems cliched when on paper, but there has been an improvement, less anxiety, better sleeping.
I hope the second half of the year shapes as well.
