Busy b00mb0x and long mix queues

Yeegads,
There’s a very large mix queue and both myself and assorted don’t have any net access at the moment from our homes. b00mb0x trundles along regardless of course but maybe some people may be wondering why their mixes haven’t been posted.
From now on we’re posting the mixes in the order in which we’ve received them. It’s nice if you made a mix for your grandmas birthday that you’d like posted before or on a certain date, but it’s not something we can do without leapfrogging some poor fucker. Besides, that might be the day I’ve chosen to spend snorting cocaine from the bellybutton of Welshman.
The easiest way to see your place in the queue is to log onto the ftp and sort by date modified. This is fair and you can rightly chastise us as the mean assholes we are if you are subsequently skipped.
I’d really like if folks got their covers in below 200 k in size and 1600 px in width because it really cuts down on the time it takes to post new content. Theres a mix with a 5 mb cover that I’ll have to post without a cover because i have no image editors on my laptop at the moment. If the cover is compressed and sized for the web before it gets here, I can post there and then, from where ever. Maybe we can include a link to print quality cd covers with mixes soon but not right now.
I’ll summarise this in the FAQ when I can.
P.S : Some recent mix links are dead temporarily while we rotate the mixes.
And still 1 mix at a time right? No loading another one until the previous one is posted? Or does it work some other way?
Cheers.
yeah matrix, the faq still applies, one mix a month and one a time 🙂
the volume of mixes and the unfortunate situation of both admins being offline conspired to create this backlog, so the readier mixes are to go, the better. If you have huge giant covers that you can’t resize, I post the mix without it and get round to resizing it properly when I get my online shit together.
assorted: I moved all the mixes before popish to mixes.b00mb0x.org and changed the links. If it hasnt been protected yet and needs to be if it isnt yet. looks like we need plan 4 soon too. Hopefully my net in my new place will come through shortly and I can put more time in.
sorted…
i have compressed sourmash’s cover to a suitable size and uploaded it to his sourmash folder on your ftp zone..
also deleted hag’s cover and replaced it with a compressed version 😉

hey ted nindo can you do mine for me please,i’m useless.
Naz & Assorted – if you ever need help administrating the site, especially in situtations like this, I have broadband at home & can write in HTML.
As for mixes being staged in date order thats fine, individual mixes should be staged that way. For a group mix it would work the same way as long as all the mixes were uploaded at the same time. No probs.
We have a counter on our redirection page http://www.noise.b-n-r.com/
which states that 400 people have been through looking for the mixes – just thought you may like to know.
Any room left on the welshman’s belly??? I have a bit of spare time….
yes h.al

oookkkkkkkkkk … the noise series should be up and available directly from http://b00mb0x.org/front/cat_ambient_2_noise.html
we are more than happy to host anybody’s mixes, but we work to our own schedule, not anyone else’s
