Looping the same few seconds over and over, with repeated buffering notices in between. 23 people are supposedly listening, but it’s totally screwed up. No other Shoutcast radio station, including those of the same bandwidth, is giving me probs. It’s a real shame, haven’t listened to that station (KQLZ Pirate Radio) in a long time. [...]

Diablo II is getting tough. Any possibility of addiction is not coming true. The shoutbox breaks the Cynthia Says compliance, so this page is no longer compliant with those standards and the button has been removed. The tapes are all backed up. They rock.

Sorry for the lack of updates. A few weeks ago, I won a lot of 20 tapes off eBay, and I’m about halfway done backing them up to my computer, holding the seller off on a rating. So far all work and great music. The tapes are various obscure and popular 80s pop-metal and pop-rock [...]

Unhappy being forced to retag all my ripped CDs the past two days *again* to fit the ridiculous "media library" concept. When are they gonna come out with Word & Excel File Library? We’ll all be forced to tag "Resume", "Recipe", "Accounting", "Charts", "Home Business", "Insurance", and everyone else will be confused! But just like [...]
