A Message to you, Rudie from Mick Sleeper

On December 1, 2004, in leeperry, by E

Greetings music lovers,

Well, I’ve been casting a critical eye over my Scratch website and have decided that longshot kick de bucket.

So effective tomorrow (December 1), “Eternal Thunder” will be scaled back and only feature the discography and Station Underground Reporting for awhile. Everything else has been taken offline. I hope to finally get around to my long-awaited re-design sometime early next year.

Don’t worry, I have no plans to permanently shelve the website. I just feel like it’s been static for too long and needs some fresh input. So until I can find the time to do it properly, a sawed-off version of the site will have to do.

All the best,
Mick

The return of Broadband 128kbps stream

On November 30, 2004, in site, by E

I spent hours and hours messing with Peercast last night. I got it tweaked and tuned and ready to go.
The 128kbps (12Kbytes/sec) stream is up and running as I write this.
In order to listen, all you need to do is download Peercast http://www.peercast.org/download.php then click on the broadband link (I’ll have this up and working tonight) and you should be good to go. Or you can find me in the peercast yellow pages under Reggae.

Click here once you have installed peercast

This is the first day of testing so private message me or post on the forums and let me know if it worked out for you, whether you got dropouts and how it sounds. You’ll need a good solid fast connection for it to work and it will chew up upload bandwidth to relay a stream to the next person in line, essentially you need to be able to upload 128kbps (12Kbytes/sec) for it to get passed along and start growing.

I’ve got loads of shows from minidisc that I want to fold in, some of them have similar sets so there will be overlap but a lot of unheard things will be coming forth!

Had to do a rollback on the database sorry

On September 12, 2004, in site, by E

Someone decided they wanted to hit me with a SQL injection so I dumped the database and brought in a backup on top of a fresh install, all is well but now some newer members may have been deleted accidently.
