Forums are now unbroken

Well I managed to finally unbreak the forums with the assistance of the good people over at Simple Machine Forums.

Forums are working again.

New project started

Posted in News on September 20th, 2007

Hi listeners,

I’ve kicked off a new project called God, For and Against if that is of interest to anybody. Basically examining different arguments for and against God in detail. May or may not be of interest to people here. But if it is check it out. It is a written project, maybe turn it into an audio book if enough gets written. I’m open to suggestions, criticisms etc. And when I fix the forums i’ll set up a section for it.

Whoops broke the forums

Posted in News on September 20th, 2007

It would appear that I have broken the sci phi show forums good and properly. Apologies, i’ll get this fixed as soon as I have a chance.

Should I be concerned that I appear to have broken them yesterday but nobody noticed :(

Yay for Smithys !

Yay for the good people at Phonic and Smithy’s.

I have a new mixer power supply and better yet, it was covered under warranty. Happy days.

Sorry for no regular show !

Hi Loyal Listeners,

Unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to catch a break lately. I sat down to do some editing this weekend and record the show and I smelt the wonderful aroma of burning plastic. At this point I discovered the power supply on my mixer was quite hot and the source of the smell. Additionally my mixer stopped working.

So I am attempting to source a new power supply for the mixer (today if all goes well). I did the intro audio of the last outcast with my wifes gaming headset, and I don’t want to subject you to a whole show done like that.

On the up side, I will attempt to get out more outcasts. Though I have been saying that for a month now.

Should I be concerned that nobody emails when the show is late or the rate of outcasts drop off ? Is nobody listening anymore ?

Well sort of. Currently there are no ideas on the ideas list. Hopefully tonight I will update it. But I mention this because i’ll add suggestions for shows here, and if you like any of the ideas I would like to hear from you. Especially if you’d like to co-host or guest host such an episode.

So have a look at Show ideas List.
