    Mac OS X Google Pagerank Widget fix

    If you are not an Apple geek, close your eyes and wish yourself away now. This has nothing to do with music or The Schmoejoes. On the other hand, if you're a Mac geek, read on.

    If like me, you use the Google Pagerank Widget to see how awesome you are, and found it broken one day, I have a fix for you.

    Go into User->Library->Widgets.
    Control click and 'Show Package Contents'.
    Open pagerank.js in TextEdit or something textylisious.

    Change line eight from:

    xmlhttp.open('GET', 'http://purl.oclc.org/NET/GPR?url=' + url,true);

    to

    xmlhttp.open('GET', 'http://purl.oclc.org/NET/GPR?url=http://' + url,true);

    (You're adding 'http://')

    Save and close.
    Open Dashboard, and restart widget with apple-R.

    Worksy-worksy! Please note: I'm a dummy. If your widget continues to not work correctly, you're going to have to hit up Ran Aroussi.

    We now return to rock 'n rolliage.

    Summertime, and the livin' is easy...

    Hey kids! Summertime is here, and I've been lazy. Lots has been going on recently with The Schmoejoes - hope you Minneapolis city-folk caught us when we played with Seymore Saves the World on the 14th of June @ the Uptown Bar and Grill.

    Those of you more local to the 'Joes may have caught us in one of our rare sunlight performances at the Solstice festival in Mankato. We went on at 1pm and almost melted under the big heat lamp in the sky. Everything went according to plan though, and we stayed to watch our pals, The Gin Daddies mess the place up with some rawkabilly.

    Upcoming quickly is an even more rare occurrence, a solo acoustic gig by me here in scenic Waseca, on the Fourth of July. I'll be doing some of The Schmoejoes' tunes, some of my early early stuff, and a random cover or two. I may even attempt the harmonica. If you're that desperate to see me and my singery-songwritery side, it's Lakefest in Waseca, and I'll be onstage in Clear Lake Park from 3-4pm. It starts earlier if you got some free time...

    The Schmoejoes return to duty on August 2nd, from 6-7pm at the Mankato Ribfest. We'll be warming up the stage for Soul Asylum, who needs no introduction. There are some other bands playing that night, but as you're here, you only care about us, right? :)

    The week after that, The Schmoejoes will be at Music and Movies in District del Sol - Parque Castillo in St. Paul, MN on August 9th. The movie that will be playing after we get done rockin' is 'A Cinderella Story' starring Hillary Duff (who is a HUGE fan of The Schmoejoes). Since the site says that we are 'Funk', we'll do what we can to funk everything all up. We're going to funk you, in other words. tee hee.

    There are a few other shows on the burner, and I'll post them as I confirm them.

    Thanks to everyone who's come to see us, we love you crazy SJ fans!
