Shameless Promotion – Armed Suspects (11/21/09 Show)

Ah yes, promotion. The act of promoting a bunch of things in a very promotional promoted manner. We like doing this. It makes us feel good. Like petting a kitten. Or singing to the birds. Or other Disney princess movie type of stuff. So, in df.com’s grand tradition of promoting random shows featuring our friends in a shameless manner I give you:

This should be enough metal, punk rock, and good old fashioned beer drinking fun to keep you busy for the night. Be sure to tell Scotty Violence that DJ digitalflood sent you. If he then proceeds to punch you in the face and throw you out it’s not my fault. Look on the bright side– you’ll have a great story to tell your friends or co-workers the next day and me to thank. We all win in the end!  😀

DF v11.0.6 Update

I continue to work on the site as whole with small tweaks and fixes as things crop up on the radar. We right now have no open bugs and are on df.com version 11.0.6 (final) code wise. The most recent fixes:

  • Upgraded back end web site engine code to latest WordPress engine to “harden” site against attacks and improve performance/stability.
  • All plug in modules that enable features are 100% up to date as well.
  • Implemented additional back end security checks and database configurations that improve site security while not degrading performance.
  • Optimized all page load times and database structure to speed up/maintain quick load times on all web browsers.
  • Improved search engine including result sorting for better search returns (both quicker and more relevant based results instead of sorting articles by time line from most recent to earliest). In other words, you’re more likely to find what you’re looking for quicker instead of having to read every search result (similar to how Google and Bing work).

Today marks one week since my shoulder surgery was performed. Still sore, but over all feeling about 30% of my total self again. Finally starting to have some control over my right lower arm (below the elbow). In less than a week I have my post operation follow up with my orthopedist. Hopefully the wound is healing is a good as it seems to be. Cannot wait to get the bandages off and to be able to take real showers again.

Happy Holidays

As we draw to the end of yet another year and reflect on all that was 2008, I’d like just take a second to thank you all for making this year one of many accomplishments. One never knows what to expect when they make a return after two plus years on hiatus, but I’m pleased to say that I personally feel both accomplished with how well things went and humbled by all your continued patronage. I’d like to wish you and all you hold dear both a very Happy Christmas, as well as, wishes for a joyous New Year. This year has been one of the best gifts I could ever have had and I’d like to thank you for being part of that.

Patience Is A Virtue

I’ve been really busy with work and that’s slowed down production a bit, but I wanted to make sure everybody knows I’m not MIA or going on hiatus or something like that. I said a month or so back when we kicked into full production mode that we weren’t going to return to weekly segments and this type of situation is exactly why I didn’t want to over promise while under delivering. The good news though that soon I’ll be able to get back to doing what I do best– drop new tracks and shows right here on DF.com. MC Mary and myself did recently cut a new Pirate Radio that needs post-production still, but there is definitely going to be at least one more talk show Pirate Radio before the end of 2008. I also owe you both another Beat Feast mix tape and a little surprise before the end of year. Both will be delivered soon enough as well. I appreciate your patience and continued support– keep believing because we’ll deliver for sure!

Back Where It Began

Three hard days (and some 15 hours of coding later) daylight is starting to show on the new site. I’ve finished up the Albums section restoring all the content as it was prior to take down. The Art section is fully updated and ready to go. Contact Us is working as planned. I’ve also put up some Links and gotten the Site Search up. The latter Search is still indexing though and could take up to 48 hours to go live (I’ll update you when it seems to be functioning properly). Finally, the forwarding is in place for the initial site load to land here. I’m personally feeling very accomplished and very happy with the end results. Next up, I have to tackle restoring Pirate Radio, which will be a daunting task. The new Radio section should be pretty full featured and end up being more than a one page landing zone as it has been in the past. I think you’ll be happy with the end results.
