Upgrading an iPhone 3G to iOS4

iOS4 was released for the iPhone today, and I decided to try upgrading while at my desk. My old 3G has been a trusty phone, but it lagged a lot, and would often stagnate in some modes, such as “Updating Library” messages that go for 30 minutes after I do a sync.  I figured there won’t be much in iOS4 for the 3G, but some of the processes might be improved.

Courtney Nielsen makes music.

Before I was a visual and web designer, I was a musician, and still am.  Electronic music was (and still is) my first love, and while my frequency of new releases has slowed down a bit, I continue to release music.

I keep it archived on my soundcloud page.  Some is streaming, and there are a few downloadable goodies from my earlier lives.  Currently, I am interested in chilling out, making music for the sofa or the forest, and I occasionally make some house remixes.  I have been going towards traditional learning lately, and have spent the last year in classical piano lessons with a great teacher.

I hope you enjoy my music.  Drop me a note if you do.
