Busy Time…

Busy Time…

It is a busy time for me. I’m rehearsing every night for our production of WORKING which opens September 14 and runs weekends through September 29. Check out the production company’s website for more information and to order tickets.

A Sick Joke? Nope…

A Sick Joke? Nope…

Did you tune into WAIF 88.3FM on Wednesday, September 5, 2001 hoping to hear Smack It Cincinnati? If so, you were not the butt of a cruel joke. Due to a scheduling snafu, we thought that SMACK IT CINCINNATI would be on, but it was…

OVER THE RHINE TRIBUTE CD RELEASE UPDATE

OVER THE RHINE TRIBUTE CD RELEASE UPDATE

Sweet heavens.

Blame me, don’t blame Drew.

As of late the plan was to manually reproduce the CDs ourselves. Heck, even Mike Georgian did that on his last release. There are drawbacks to that though (many car, DVD etc. players refuse to read them, and the time it takes to produce and quality check each is crazy). After the grand response for preorders (seriously! thanks!) I decided to properly get them pressed. These will be playable on any player, be a regular CD.

Fair enough. So we head off to get them out to the manufacturer, I take a final evening listen through, and WHAM, two weird and extraordinarily loud digital clips near the end of a tune that were there on the master.

So we’re about 18 days out now. 18. sweet heavens.

18.

Sweet heavens.

all our best laid plans and all our typical cd duplicating fears,

System Downtime — UNSCHEDULED!

System Downtime — UNSCHEDULED!

As some of you might have noticed, DrewVogel.COM was unavailable for several hours (from 3:30pm-11:30pm) on Monday, September 10, 2001.

This was due to a power outage at the server location. Sorry for the downtime, folks. The bright side of all this, if there is a bright side, is that the downtime forced me to verify that the bootup network configuration was working, which it was not. It is now.

Sorry for the downtime, and you may now resume your regular activity.

On 05-September-2001, I added an internal ATAPI ZIP drive to the system. Users won’t notice this addition too much, since it is used mainly for system backups. I also wrote a script that automagically backs up the entire system, including dumping the tables, to the…
