This Isn’t American Idol, Is It?

Towelman Rocks!

Towelman Rocks!

Calling all wanna be guest hosts… here’s you’re chance to get on digitalflood Pirate Radio! We are now scheduling guests for Pirate Radio; so hit us up if you want in via comment, email, or social network of your choice.

If you have a band and would like to be on Pirate Radio we can work that out as well. Here’s your chance to be immortalized (or at least that’s what you’ll tell yourself to shrug off that oh so dirty post Pirate Radio recording feeling– we like it that way). You’ll need to provide us with 10 MP3s of your choice. Be sure to let us know why you should be on Pirate Radio.

Can’t make it to Warwick, NY? Send us an MP3 with your Pirate Radio shout outs, requests, or clips of random uncontrollable screaming to: dj@digitalflood.com.

Been on Pirate Radio before? Here’s your chance to make a comeback! We’d love to have you back on the show again.

Remember, it’s not about talent when it comes to Pirate Radio… it’s about putting up with my unending ramblings and long winded stories that lead to nowhere. It’s all in the name of comedy though so suck it up and take it like a man (unless of course you’re not a man… then take it like not man)!

The Throwback

As part of our celebration of digitalflood.com’s Tenth Anniversary we’re dusting off the old blog entries and moving them into the new site. Yes, you too can find out what I was thinking back in the year 2000. To access this content click on the “Classic DF.com” option on the top news article menu.

We’ve fixed an issue with email not being able to be sent to @digitalflood.com. Was a combo of DNS routing and email server configuration issues. I’ve also updated the “DF Staff” page, which was formally known as the “Pirate Radio Cast” and fixed all the missing pictures/links.

Moving Forward

Tackled two bugs today not related to the web site itself and more related to some logistical configuration/growing pains with the new server. First we ran into an issue where Firefox 3.5.2 would not render the web page correctly. The main navigation bar was all sorts of screwed up. This turned out to be due to a disk space allocation issue. This issue has been fixed and testing shows clean rendering of all pages since then.

We also ran into an issue where outside viewers could not email any address ending in @digitalflood.com. This was due to some improper routing with our DNS. We have addressed that issue as well and testing again shows email delivery is restored.

We had a large numbers of hits to the site since announcing our upgrade on Facebook and MySpace. I’m glad to see there was some interest in the site. Early feedback seems very positive. As always, let me know what you think and I’ll keep plugging away on this end to push things forward based on that info.
