Radio Problems (Update)

Eventually someone already noticed … I have some problems with my radio pulling the stream from Last.fm. I’ll have a look into this issue as soon as possible.

Until then the stream is playing music from Magnatune.

Update:
The stream is up and running again. Party On!

Video of Fraggletime OA 2008

I've just found a short video clip of the Fraggletime Open Air 2008 on YouTube where you can hear me DJing.

English, here I come!

It is time. At first I thought I can avoid this step but it got clear that it's not sufficient to provide a german-only version of my website. The mere fact that my site is soon going to be listed on Ektoplazm finally made me think of creating an english version of the website.
But I must say that the translation still has some flaws I have to fix as soon as possible. Some parts and articles still need to be translated. The sidebar for instance is still available only in german. Problems also exists with tags in the english version so I can't use tags in english articles at the moment. This will be fixed, soon.

Twitter & Co.

Yes, I use Twitter. But what is that? Twitter is a Micro-blogging service which means you can use it for sending brief text updates that will then be displayed in the form of a small blog on my personal Twitter page.

I mainly use Twitter to keep you updated about myself and on things I'm interested in. To see what's going on on Twitter, my five latest tweets are displayed in the sidebar below.

Good news and bad news

I've got some good news and some bad news to tell you. Bad news first.

Unfortunatly I can't attend The Call of the Dervish party the upcoming weekend. I'm really sorry for that but I can't help it. Nevertheless I'm very sure I'll play at Maiglöckchenklang 2.

Now the good news. I've just implemented a RSS feed on my website so you'll never miss updates to my website ever again. Just click on RSS Feed in the navigation to see the feed along with instructions on how to add the feed in your favorite news-reader (at least in Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 7).

What has happened?

...this question has two meanings. On one hand one could ask: "What has happened? Why are there no new posts?" and on the other hand the question could mean: "What has happened the last two months?". I'll try to equally answer both these questions.

Psyfactor replies to "Madness, arise!"

Tomorrow it's Christmas Eve! And for a long time I finally managed to get all presents before december 24th. The last one arrived yesterday. But that's not what I want to talk about right now.

If you remember, a few weeks ago just in time for Nikolaus I had finished my mix "Madness, arise" which only consists of track of the album "Aries Madness" by Psyfactor aka. Dmitry Korablin. Originally I had the idea of creating this mix after I recognised how similar each track of this album sounds and how it would be to create one single track out of the cd.

After listening to the final result I thought about what Psyfactor would say about that mix and since it's a compilation made from his tracks only, I felt responsible to show him that mix and ask for his opinion.

So I wrote him an E-Mail:

It is done!

Hello everyone,

I still can hardly believe it by myself, but I may proudly announce, after what seemed like an eternity, that my new website is finally back online in a new shape. I know, I've kept you waiting for so long but that waiting is finally coming to an end.
