Happy New Year Everyone!
As you can tell I've started to change some of the pages that are going to remain after the initial Website change over. Most just color or scheme changes. Biggest Change I have hidden the Request Pages. This means that unless you have bookmarked these pages, you will not be able to access them until further notice. This is due to changes in procedure's behind the scene's here. We will let you know when you can use the request function again. Thanks for your patience during this peroid of needed change.

Hi All... Yes, I know it's been over another year since an update.. Many things in my life have changed and there were more than a few times this year ALONE that this station came close to being shut down for good. But I kept it going over unemployed summer of 2008, the retail job of winter & summer 2009. Me releasing a CD with my Band... more to follow on that. And now I have GREAT NEWS to Announce. With all this and a break in my scheduling, I am bringing the station back. I have already designed the new Website and will be making 2. One a flash based and the other HTML based. Unlike last year my work schedules did not allow me to start any of the tasks for this station but my current situation allows me to do this.
Things to do...
1). Website
UNDER CONSTRUCTION... BEWARE OF FALLING HTML PHP & FLASH!!!
2). Retag ALL Current Mp3's and add 5000+ MP3's to the Database ( a 2 weeks job right here! )
I've added close to 25gb of music already tagged.
3). Finally Move DJ SAM over to its Workstation and Upgarde Sam Broadcaster.
4). More DJ's n Management Team... to be Announced Later

Hi All... Yes, I know it's been almost a year since an update.. Many things in my life have changed and there were more than a few times that this station came close to being shut down for good. But I kept it going over the winter and now I have GREAT NEWS to Announce. Nokia... the cellphone provider.. had requested my station to be added as one their offered Internet Listening Stations. I said yes. Even with DJ SAM ONLY djing... we've seen 75% pick up in listenership. Many times Has the station been maxed out.

With all this and a break in my scheduling, I am bringing the station back.
I have already designed the new Website and will be making 2. One a flash based and the other HTML based. Unlike last year my work schedules did not allow me to start any of the tasks for this station but my current situation allows me to do this.
Things to do...
1). Website
2). Retag ALL Current Mp3's and add 5000+ MP3's to the Database ( a 2 weeks job right here!)
3). Finally Move DJ SAM over to its Workstation and Upgarde Sam Broadcaster.

As some of you have commented I've upped the rate from 96k to 128k.
I am in the process of getting a First RATE Management team together for the Station.
More info to be announced.

Recently we've added 2GBs (750songs) to the Stations Lisiting.
We will be switching SAM off his Current Server to a seperate Workstation. This is to upgrade the Auto-DJ (Sam) to the Latest Software 4.2.2, and add several kick-ass plugins to make the stream sound even better than it does now. On the Current server it will make the stream burp, be silent and skip.

In addition we are creating a kick ass new looking website. The new site will have 2 options... either a Flash Site or an HTML site. It's been 2.5+ years since I upgraded the website, and the current one was leaps & bounds above the orginal one. Once I have a semi working mockup up on html I will post so you can get a sneek peek.
Due Date... Jan 2008, since I also have to put up the Holiday Season to this website.

We are back... Looking for DJ's Start date September 2007.

Contact the Station for more details

I've added 2+Gigs of songs to the Sam's (Auto DJ) Library. I will be adding these songs to the rotation in pieces as it takes awhile to
Correctly tag and retag all the mistagged songs I have out there now. I will also be updating to SAM 4.2.2, this will need an additional PC, as the Server will not be able to handle the load put on it. HEY SAM YOU GET A FACE LIFT!

John Sykes will be DJing again ... yes he's got a job that gives him a constant schedule again.

WOO HOO WELCOME BACK!!!!
COME ONE COME ALL!!!

The Website Renewal Project is now underway. Real life (new job, overtime & scheduling) has settled down allowing me to start this well overdue
project. I will be doing a "Hot" rollout. Which means wear a hard hat & Steel Tipped Boots cuz you might hit.
Seriously... it means I will be rolling out section by section of the website as I go. So one page may be the same now tommorrow might be different.
Check the site for progress. More news on SAM updates and the quest for the Best DJs in Second Life in coming news.

Reconstruction of The Website and Station - More like an Overhaul!

First things first... my real life got in the way of overhauling the station over the summer months. I was out of town for extended peroids of time and in catch up mode when I was in town. Life... has now gotten considerably slower for me now so I can do the things I've needed to do. I've already updated the stations software to the latest SAM release... waiting on SAM 4 .. already pre ordered it. The Server I am updating the Disk Array, added much needed hard drive space... Going from 73gb to 150gb. This update will cause the station to be down for several hours this week. I will post a note when the audio server will be down and its expected time back up.

The website is also getting a much needed facelift. Its been the same design for almost the past 2 years now and it needs to be changed. After this design is put in place I will be adding a flash only version... cool annimations, graphics.. unique look.

We are looking for Experienced Kick Ass DJs.
