Temporary Suspension on Nokia Phones Lifted

The surprisingly sophisticated Nokia Internet Radio on their phones has suspended AnimeAMAZE due to 4 minutes of downtime.

And in another surprising turn of events, their mail server failed to take my email.

So far its obvious our station is up, however, they happen to have their own problems. I will get in touch with them after I get out of work, unless we are not suspended anymore.


It's fixed now...and we have neat banners

3 most Recent Podcasts are availible again

So the podcast link on our home site is somehow broken. I will look into it but not now...There is a link within the podcast section of our site, bringing you to perhaps the most mind numbingly simple listing of shows to download. It works, so I have no complaints, and if you have an RSS Reader, be sure to take advantage and add the link to your reader (Thunderbird does RSS ;) )

So the 2 most recent are up and on there, the third is one its way. 21 episodes total!

Radio Station Going offline for Several Hours

As the subject says, we are going to take apart all the computers, including the broadcast machine, and the server, taking this large can of air, and cleaning them out, and doing some small tests in the process. This will take several hours to complete, and I thank you for your patience. The website and forums will still be up, but the request page, and radio will be down until further notice.

Everything is clean...for a while :mono: Everything was back on around 1:30AM and 2:00AM.

Saturday Website Maintenence Expected

On Saturday Afternoon, the forums are going to be disabled for about 10-20 Minutes.

The goal is just to categorize some things so its a bit more easier navigation wise. The idea is drawn out. Nothing drastic will happen, just things will be a bit more focused than tossed into a category.

I have also had thoughts of merging groups into the regular boards as they seem to be a little dead lately :) What we have in groups can be discussed in the main boards in my personal opinion, so this is just to let group leaders know. If you object to this however, kindly let me know :)

The group thing may or may not be a pain to disrupt so just keep that in mind when I mentioned 10-20 Mins ;)

Request Page Notice:
Seeing as this can be done seamlessly, The request pages are going to get a small update, and hopefully it will work a little better. The stylesheet will not be the same, but cleaner. That will also be updated.

Super Glue can fix this Show [2/20 10PM EST][PC]

This evenings show will present to you what you can and can not fix with super glue. We will also have new music along with some other neat extra's.

The thing is about super glue, is that its so handy you can use it for just about everything, but there are certain classifications as to what kind of super glue you use...this show will be a lot more interesting than it sounds, so at least stick around for the music :D

"Stick" to us around 10PM EST and you certainly will be "bonded" (oh ho ho) to our great informative show and music but mostly the music I am sure.

Back to LAME (Note for iTunes Listeners)

*Note: This applies to a mess of code it shows after it shows you the song title and artist, so it does not in anyway affect the station listening experience.
Image

I noticed that with the use of the LAME encoder we seem to have a slight issue with iTunes not being able to parse the code, that it gets from the codec, properly. If anyone is experiencing problems we will look into it, if not, don't worry about it and just enjoy the quality of LAME 192 Joint Stereo. If you do see any problems, please do not post about it in the report board or send us an email. We are aware of the issues and will work on finding out the solution.

AnimeAMAZE Check List for Feb.

So some work I hope to get done, and the help of members if they wish, is appreciated. Somethings I have to fix up, but there will at times be a place for everyone to help

Forums:
-Fix Up Themes (Themes that are slightly broken due to the updates. People who know of great fixes, please link them here)
-Fix Some buttons in the Navi (Removing Oekaki unless we can have one that more people use, and fixing up the chat box that is on prosilver)
-Now Playing Location on some of the forums themes (There may be another place that is Opera friendly. Any suggestion, please post here)

Station:
-Try to reach our Donation Goal to get a working version installed.

As you may have noticed, the forums is kind of weird lately. Somethings are not working as planned. It's been pointed out to me. Only way I really know of fixes is just writing over this install with a fresh one, and to be honest, I don't want to do that, I had a hard enough time moving from one server to the other.

Some of the buttons on the navi, especially in prosilver lead no where. So getting rid of them, or fixing some is important and will lead to proper areas of importance and/or interest.

Now playing looks kinda odd on Prosilver. Neat, but odd. I feel we can have a better place for it on some themes. Please relate to this topic about the defects. viewtopic.php?f=49&t=2005
We usually want it somewhere in the header, but not sure if prosilver uses the same breadcrumb code that subsilver uses, so I guess I will look into it again.

This should not affect the forums too much, but there may be some situations where some themes do not work.

Requests are Working now

UPDATE* Requests work again, but as I said before, nothing is operating as it should. As mentioned earlier, Donations would be appreciated to get the new version of our software installed so we can better server you. At any rate, I leave this in your hands now.

AnimeAMAZE Downtime Wed. 2/3 Between Midnight and 4AM

Downtime Expected Wed. Feb. 3rd between the times of Midnight and 1AM EST and expected to last 1-2 Hours.

I plan on adding our "new" UPS to the mix since I put it through a pretty nice test and it survived longer than the old one did, and the old one had no indicators when it failed, this one is a lot smarter.

I plan on Ghosting or in terms of gparted, copy and paste Mints Windows partition onto a "new" HDD.

Reason for the "new" is because, I have no idea how old this UPS is, but it looks and operates as if it were new, it even has all the manuals, and the box was in mint condition, as is the UPS. Not a scrach or blemish on it. I am impressed. The HDD, It's been in my system for a while, but it works great still.

Ghosting could take some time, therefore, I have a system on standby with the music. it is on Linux, so it may be a bit odd, but I know for sure it will run for at most 4 hours before showing any signs of failure. Maybe longer with a questionable codec off.

UPDATE: Sorry, started a tad bit later, Copying the drive is going really smoothly, much more so than my other computer. I Don't expect it to be too much longer.
