Sorry everyone I've had to cancel Rathole Radio this week as I have a bad cold. Unfortunately the sore throat has pretty much killed my voice and made podcasting difficult. I hope to be fighting fit again next week and until then you can enjoy New World Disorder in all it's glory. Have a great week and I'll catch you soon.
See ya

Hey folks,
I was thinking about the way we use the forums to submit stories and create hero/villain nominations and I think it could be done in a better way. So I've changed things a little, I think we should be using the "Create Story" function under "Create Content" on the menu. That way the stories and nominations will appear in the content stream with everything else.
Hey guys,
I've been at it again making podcast themes and this time it was for the Linux Outlaws podcast which you can check out at www.linuxoutlaws.com
I used a guitar track Fabian sent me as the basis and worked around that adding drums, bass, my own guitars and even an organ is you listen carefully. I went crazy and rocked it up a bit but I think it suits the show, I still need to add some sound effects such as horses galloping nearer at the start but other than that it's done.
Hey folks, been a while since I last blogged here but I'm back now :)
You may have noticed some changes in the last couple of days to the feeds and so on. I've added some separate feeds for the different shows, it seemed a good idea since this is becoming more of a podcast network now and people may not want to subscribe to all the shows, they should have a choice.
Hey folks,
If you've heard NWD004 you'll know about this already but I wrote some music for Sheryls new Gabby Geek podcast. It's not finished yet I need to add some guitars and possibly other stuff but I thought you'd want to check it out. She seems to like it which is nice, it's always satisfying when people enjoy your work :)
So I attached the mp3 file to this post anyway, check it out and let me know what you think in the comments. I'll post the finished version when I'm done... not sure when that'll be though :P
So this week I was lucky enough to get free tickets to a preview screening of the new Transformers movie, something I was obsessed by as a kid. Although I saw the film on Tuesday I've only just gotten around to writing about it, been a crazy week :)
Saw this and had to share it with you fellow Feebles, the 15 most unfortunately placed ads, they're pretty funny. I love the one for McDonalds just below the child obesity warning. You couldn't write this stuff if you tried :)
Hey folks,
I've made a few changes to the site this week. I added a new HTML editor toolbar thingymabob (I believe thats the technical term). It means you can do proper HTML formating in your posts and preview the results, it beats hard coding the show notes code in a textbox believe me. You can do all kinds of groovy stuff and it makes the whole interface a lot more like Gmail or Blogger which is something I wanted to do. Hats off to ButchBrooklyn for recommending this module it seems to work great let, me know what you guys think.
Well show 3 is in the ashtray... or at least half of it is anyway. I made a stupid mistake and lost the 2nd 30mins or so of the show, I'm such an idiot!!! Feeble Force was meant to be partly an ironic name but it's all true now I think. I was using a free trial version of a program to record the show and it stopped recording after 30mins without telling me, I forgot about the 30min thing, we carried on talking for at least another 20mins after and it's all lost in cyberspace somewhere, sorry everyone :(
Hey folks,
Been an eventful day here in Fortress Of Apathy, getting the 2nd show out was emotional to say the least :) Lots of little quirky problems but I suppose it's all part of the learning curve, only ep 2 so hopefully by the time we hit double figures (if we hit double figures) I'll have it down to a fine art. I have 2 PCs here, a studio PC that I use for recording all my music which is currently in pieces on the floor and my main desktop PC that I use for everything else which doesn't even have a dedicated sound card. Guess which one I'm using to do the podcast at the moment?....
