site move complete

so we are officially off of my old hosting provider... Many thanks to the folks at PKR Internet. it's been a good two years. they warned me they were low bandwidth when i put my site there but their CEO is my ex's best buddy from high school and so it goes. he also happens to be in my top 3 list of computer gods so there you have it. and it's nice to have the mobile on the guy hosting your site... kinda like the bat phone and such.

the new peeps @ Penguin Web Hosting have really been bending themselves into a pretzel to support me. and i must say they are fast like speedy gonzalez! no lie.

no more 24 hour downloads. yippee. enjoy.

so fast, so fast, supa fast.

this is how we roll in my neighborhood b*Tch

warning

i placed an order recently with my ex's (from university) company. i ordered a couple of smart-allecky coffee mugs (WTF and RTFM) and a uber-geeky (yes, i used the word Uber... get over it :-) ) french-cut Pi shirt.

as i was washing one of said coffee mugs i found two sticker on the bottom that read:

1) Made in China (insert loud gasp here)
2) Prop 65
Warning:
The materials used as colored decorations on the exterior of this product contain lead lead compounds, and/or cadmium, which are chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

things that make you go hmmm.....

what else?

well today i have plans all day long which is why i'm up so freaking early, still.

i want to run and enjoy the weather.

i'm fixing a home computer networking problem.

i've uploaded my dj files at the new provider but i have yet to test/verify/and switch the DNS over. i'm doing the .org first and the rest will follow after.

the new CD, Our Great Green Earth, will be up there for download as soon as it's done!!! then we can verify the download speeds and switch all my domains over.

later today I'll be jamming it out with some of my DJ partners.

tomorrow I'm going to the sunset party with my amiga. you should meet me there.

stay tuned!

Meth Coffee

so my coworker stars in this highly warped video. seriously. it's his company with his better half that makes this highly potent substance. by my third cup... i usually find my lips be a-tingly....

i'm back

i'm up ungodly early this AM (for a saturday, especially). Why???

i'm finishing up with my CD. The sheer task of retracking the version mastered by my DJ partner has been a challenge. I tried to track it in T-racks. For some reason t-racks is determined to put markers in a set spot. so even if i clicked at 6:06 seconds... the track was always going in at 6:28 seconds and there wasn't a darned thing i could do to change that.

so i reverted back to cubase. it's been nothing but troubles here. the tracking i can do just fine but somehow the process of importing what my dj partner did and then trying to track it back out is causing me trouble. i'm not processing it or anything like that... it just ends up roughly sounding like shite.

so now i'm reverting back to the original version to see if perhaps normalizing that and tracking that will yield better results.

sigh. so i'm still a chugging. and i'm drinking my meth coffee.

my next post is going to be about meth coffee

CD almost ready

we worked on it last night. There's more to do. I'm still moving my website. It's taking an obscenely long period of time because my upload speed from home is 384 kbps and I'm uploading 8 - 9 Gigs of files.

we're creating the background images & logos for Boom Boom Woods. I'm hopefully going to finish with my mock up of the splash page this weekend.

stay tuned. patiently.
