finally finished off the Pirate Radio section. The most recent addition being the new Cast and Guests pages. You can find every person who has ever appeared on Pirate Radio and then some. In some semi-related news, I’ve spoken with MC Mary @ The Disco! and she’s stoked about starting the show back up. Things are still firming up planning wise, but be sure to stayed tuned as we head into a new season. Expect a launch date to be announced sooner than later.
Digitalflood Pirate Radio is back with a vengeance! Every episode ever made is available for your listening pleasure. They’re completely unedited and appear just as they did the day they were released. Download. Share. Rejoice and spread the revolution!
Also, as a side note, we’re officially in full release and out of Beta. DF.com is 100% up and running. I’ll be doing some content fill in to beef up the links areas, but otherwise DF.com is back and better than ever.
Three hard days (and some 15 hours of coding later) daylight is starting to show on the new site. I’ve finished up the Albums section restoring all the content as it was prior to take down. The Art section is fully updated and ready to go. Contact Us is working as planned. I’ve also put up some Links and gotten the Site Search up. The latter Search is still indexing though and could take up to 48 hours to go live (I’ll update you when it seems to be functioning properly). Finally, the forwarding is in place for the initial site load to land here. I’m personally feeling very accomplished and very happy with the end results. Next up, I have to tackle restoring Pirate Radio, which will be a daunting task. The new Radio section should be pretty full featured and end up being more than a one page landing zone as it has been in the past. I think you’ll be happy with the end results.
We’re out of Alpha on the web site and into public Beta, which is a good thing. Mostly because now the majority of you can see the site. The longest delay point in the project has been working on some blogging features that are taking way too long in development. I’m shifting forward though on the main site and focusing on restoring the previous areas. If you see something broken feel free to drop me a line and I’ll tackle it from there, but at this point about 60% of the site is running the way it should be. The next major phase is rebuilding the Albums section and shortly there after restoring Pirate Radio to its webcasting availability. Expect an update when we hit that milestone.
* There is only one episode for Volume 3. DJ Digitalflood came off his hiatus to let us know he was still alive and kicking in late November 2007. The show features no monologue and mainly focuses on mixing. It is arguably the best mixed DF Pirate Radio episodes to date.
* DF Pirate Radio no longer releases weekly, but does continue production though clearly not at the pace it used. DJ Digitalflood does continue to work on tracks nevertheless.
* This show was completely mixed real time on virtual turntables. Post-production was limited to minor audio inserts (sound clips and show jingles), as well as, audio clean up work. Otherwise the show is is completely real time as it would be heard if you sitting right there during production. The show was done in one take with no edits on the mixing.
