Looks like it wasn't the upgrade. iTunes reverts to the local when it can't connect to the network, and Time Capsule likes to sleep as much as possible. I'm going to have to figure out how to keep it constantly connected.

You're about 12 hours too late.
No-one really cared back then either.

I think he must have been a friend of Leslie Nielsen

I actually spent an hour last week in a meeting with Leslie Nielsen in Las Vegas, NV. She's the deputy District Attorney for Clark County, NV, and quite a nice lady, for a lawyer.
Will Rogers never met me.

Awesome! Did you manage to avoid any references?
Like did you say
"We have to take this to a court right now!"
"A court? What is it?"
"A big building with judges and lawyers in, but that's not important right now."

No, I played it straight. It's a bit complicated, so I really don't want to stir the pot right now.
I'm rebuilding an old power line across the desert, and part of it crosses a span of mountains that was recently leased to the County to build a nice park. My contractor is currently stopped and costing me $25,000 a day because this person won't sign a memo that acknowledges that we are taking reasonable precautions to protect anyone who might hike through the park while we're working. No one is using the park - it's bloody cold here, by local standards, with temps in the low 40s and wind blowing at 40 mph. No one will notice that we've come and gone.
Grrrrr.....
Will Rogers never met me.

Are you kidding me? He made some of the best movies ever: Death Wish I, II - and the best one of them all: III (need I say more than "teeth"???)
Bronson ruled! Chuck Norris is a pussy!
