We have Go! Digitally Imported are broadcasting my Transport mix at 18:00 BST (17:00 GMT) on their Deep House channel. The calendar entry for this audio extravaganza is right here (along with a blurb of purest wank). Cheers to DJ Jolene who listens to all the submissions, and says 'aye' or 'naw' to each. Exactly why she's putting her vinyl in the dishwasher is left as an enigma for us all to ponder.

My mix is going out on Digitally Imported tomorrow at 6pm Glasgow time. Ooooh. Ahhhh. See Audio for in-depth discussion and opinion.

My BBSpot BBlooper was put up.
God I'm bored. There's a search you can do in Google, which returns a whole load of networked surveillance cameras with web interfaces. Some of these cameras can be controlled from the Internet by people like me and you.
One I found is pointed at a Melbourne skyline, and a very pretty sight it is too. Not content with this, I swung the camera round, and what did I find? A Money Plant. That's right. A Money Plant. You too can see this antipodean horticultural panacea by doing the following...
1) First, click here. A new window will open. Enjoy the Melbourne skyline. Come back to this window when it's done loading.
2) Click here.
3) Then here.
4) And finally here.
Wait for your browser to finish 'loading' each link before you click the next (nothing will happen in this window). Once you've done that, have a look at the window you opened for the first link.
And relax. Boredom's a terrible thing to waste.

Yay! Digitally Imported are going to broadcast my new mix. Just over a thousand listeners at any one time. Huzzah!
All I need is a blurb for their calender. Suggestions on a stamped, addressed e-mail please.

Long time no words. The Wibbly Wobbly Web has been a bit uninteresting of late, so nothing amusing (and, thankfully, nothing about software patents either) for the likes of you.
Actually, I saw this thing here ages ago, but forgot all about it. You can have that to tide you over. Weird / sad / funny / disturbing stuff.
One more thing, I've had a couple of reports that the MP3 of my tape isn't playing for some people. Please tell me if it works for you. Ta.

This guy (who used to work for Apple) makes a lot of sense when he's talking about interface design. His site's been up for years, but I only rediscovered it while delving into the depths of my bookmarks file from many moons ago. Number One on this page is particularly mind bending, and involves Fighter jets and shooting at schools (you may well remember the incident yourself).
Somewhat ironically I find his website quite difficult to navigate.

It's done.
The latest tape in the 'Sessions Project' is finished. I give you: 'Extensions 2 - Transport'.
It's taken me two and a half years to get my act together and record it, but I hope you'll agree, it was worth the wait. I'm still not happy with some of the mixes, but I never will be, so I'm releasing it anyway.
Have a listen, the link should be on the left, unless your browser's a bit funky. The file is a 96kb/s ABR MP3. It's actually quite listenable, despite the fact that it's and hour long, but only 43MB.
For historical reference, previous tapes in the Sessions Project were:
-    Sessions 1 - Afterhours (2000)
-    Sessions 2 - Twilight Shift (2000)
-    Sessions 3 - Foundations (2001)
-    Extensions 1 - Death by 1000 (Choice) Cuts (2002)
There is also a tape which is separate from the Sessions Project which goes by the name of 'Zoetrope Dancer'. A friend (her name is Zoe, hence the title) asked for a tape of some tunes I had been playing, and the tape ended up being quite good, so I kept a copy for myself.

New tape? Finished!
