The joy of parallels / Improvizone

Clearly the novelty of blogging wore off pretty quickly - almost a month since my last post. Oh well.

Two main things to report.

First - and this is the shocker - Expert Sleepers now does Windows versions. I've been using a remarkable bit of software called Parallels Desktop which lets me run Windows on my Mac, at the same time as Mac OS X. It works really well. I can't emphasise enough just how east it all is. Kudos to the Parallels guys.

I can't help but feel a little dirty though, having ugly ol' Windows running on my Mac.

The Windows versions will go to a couple friends for first line testing, then it's out into the big wide world for them, and it's into the nightmare world of supporting Windows users for me.

Second thing - on May 29th I'm playing at Improvizone. Live, improvised (but not 'improv' in the hard-to-listen-to, jazz sense of the word (though I should say I quite enjoy hard-to-listen-to jazz)) music in a rather nice bar in London. Come along! Say hi! Buy me a beer!
