Today is the dawn of a New Era. My blog finally works on my website after a 3 month hiatus. Hopefully I’ll start posting to it again and who knows! At some point it may contain something interesting.
Latest Stuff In The Life Of Steve: well, the glory of photomash has now passed. After making the b3ta newsletter I exceeded 4.5 GB traffic in 10 days! [GEEK ALARM]My account limit is 1GB. The newletter came out on Friday 28th Feb, and did 1.1GB traffic that day, over half the month’s traffic and taking me nicely into the red. But that was the last day of feb and I was due a new month’s bandwidth tomorrow. By Monday, the 3rd March, I’d exceeded march’s allocation too! So I moved all the large images to LP’s server (he’s nice like that) and just hosted the index and thumbs. In the period to the 7th (when the next b3ta newsletter came out) I did 3.4Gb, then it dropped off to almost the level it had been before (2-7Mb/Day before … 200-800Mb During … 10-20Mb/day after).[END GEEK]
Been playing with some tunes (again/still) having trouble convincing myself that it’s good enough to gig it… but then knowing the way I work, I’ll wait till I have a gig before I really focus and make things work. Spent Real Money(TM) on Reason 2 and Recycle so have some great new toys for making sounds. So far with the new software I’ve made four tunes: two appalling ones (which may nonetheless be enjoyed by some) one propellerheads-style thing as a candidate for a juggling video (I cannot say more at this stage - hush hush) and a quite pretty, pensive tune that didn’t quite work as an idea for Mamph to juggle to.
Finally, I’m in the process of getting broadband at home, so I will effectively have an unlimited hosting space for tunes and media, if hopelessly slow. Then I will start to share my stuff and you can have a listen.
That’s all for now. Y’all come back now ya hear?
