Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 2:24 PM Darkfloyd -- indeed, this will be the place for public discussion on how to improve the site in general (not just the forum). I don't really have any more drops, although I'm always collecting new ones. Right now, the only drops "waiting in the queue" are "Alphabet" ("A B C D" in the little girl voice -- does anyone know the date of the original show?), "Bang!" (shotgun blast), "Mahalo" (that Hawaiian guy), and the recent "You're gonna go to jail, buddy" (Dr. Bruce). I wait for the new drops to pile up, then I add a whole bunch at once, just to save time & effort on my end. I also have a new bumper waiting -- bumper #23. When I initially created this site, there were entire categories of clips which I eliminated in order to make everything fit into the 200MB of web space I had at the time. I wish I had saved the original MP3 playlist, because now there is much more space available. Here are some examples of the categories which are in my personal MP3 collection, but absent from the web site: - Personal: Adam and Drew (and other Loveline people) reveal details about their personal lives. This is one of my favorite categories, which I would like to add to the site eventually. (These often become "Journal" entries.)
- Rants: I'm kinda ambivalent about this category. I started it in response to an e-mail from somebody who suggested that I add Adam's rants to the site. Problem is, Adam's rants are long, and in general, he repeats them enough times so that after a while, I, for one, don't really need to hear them again. On the other hand, there are some old rants which I wouldn't mind hearing again just for the nostalgia value -- e.g., the WNBA/Sisters rant ("YOU PAY 'EM!") -- and nope, I don't have that one :-(
- Show: Talk about the show itself. This is already a category of course, but the web site version is kinda thin. On my CD-ROMs and hard drive, this is a much bigger category.
- Stories: Adam rambles about his past. I love these clips even more than the "Personal" clips. But like "Rants", they tend to be very long! I don't know what percentage of people have high-speed connections, but I try to keep individual clips under five minutes in length (since that would be the length of your average MP3 song).
By the way: in theory, any clip which doesn't win a permanent place on the site will eventually become a "Clip of the Week". Anyway, all this to say: look forward to new clips in the future! —Silent Virgin |
