Hammster Wheel and Hammonline Back



Hey all,

As some of you may know, I had discontinued the Hammster Wheel and Hammonline websites, as I pursued more music performance.

Well, as I have moved back towards original music, I have been giving thought to how to reposition myself regarding these two sites. I came to the conclusion that they were just fine as they were, and simply needed to be reinstated.

So, Hammster Wheel and Hammonline are both back. I have done some updating to them, but am planning full redesigns to both.

Let the fun continue!!

Early December 2007 Update

Update as of 12/5/2007:

Studio:
I have upgraded my Pro Tools LE home studio. I was previously using the Digidesign Digi-001 hardware with version 6.4 of the software. I used their "upgrade" program to trade-in the old hardware, and now have a Digi-003 with version 7.4 of the software. My thanks to Alan Finkbeiner at Sweetwater, for his assistance with this. If you need any music gear, I recommend contacting Alan at Alan_Finkbeiner@sweetwater.com Just tell him Tim Hamm sent you. With the new upgrade, I will first get back to completing The Well's Angels recording. After that, I will move on to new projects, which will include a solo effort. No definite plans are in place yet.

Bands:
I am not currently involved in any specific band. I recently met with Dean and John from Sojourn, and we just caught up on our lives. Adam was not able to make the evening. There was no plan for any further music. John is assisting with some drum tracks on some select tunes on The Well's Angels recording. For now, I'm content to focus on my own ideas, but don't ever expect things to stay the same. There may be some future music with myself, John, and Dave from The Well's Angels. Jim Cash, from CrossWise, is also a possibly collaborator for upcoming musical projects. We shall see. I do continue watching the Sookie Jones website (the last band I was with), to see what's coming up for them. I still recommend checking them out, if you get a chance.

Websites:
I am back at trying to get a handle on DreamWeaver 8. I got the upgrade last year, and simply didn't spend enough time with the product. I looked at Microsoft's new "Expression Web", and found it not nearly as exciting as DreamWeaver. So, hopefully there will be a new version of the TimHamm.com website coming soon. Once I get that up, I can proceed with updating some of the other sites I maintain. With any luck, this will become a secondary hobby to the music studio stuff.

Other:
Not much else going on with life. Simply trying to get through the holidays without going nuts, and enjoying life a bit. I wish each of you a very merry Christmas, and the best in 2008. Keep in touch.
