The Goat

We did a couple cool things yesterday: 1) The player no longer crashes Safari, which is awesome. 2) すし わ おおしい (that's Japanese) Oh, and "Lair of the Goat" has been a phenomenal success. Thank you to our fans. We owe it all to you. Yea.

So you know how users get to choose a short "caption" for themselves that shows up at the top of their profile info? People seems to think that's pretty fun. So a lot of you picky musician types have been jealous because you couldn't set a custom caption for your artist profile. Well, good news: my all-knowing caretakers just added more customization to the band profiles. Meaning, you can now set a custom caption on your artist profiles, too! Just go manage your band and...

So... here's the site. Yay - go have fun. We're tired. We had a DB migration, ecommerce code and the Flash player to work on.... today. So the DB stuff took, oh, i dunno 5 hours longer than it should have. Damn UTF8. Um, the Flash player was a special pain in the ass. We got the streaming right about 10 times, and well other things went wrong. Later we ran into this rad problem where the player killed Safari (still can if you're lucky) ... we fixed the main Safari issue and then...

So i was just doing stuff w/ adsense n all that and took a look at our access log to see if Google had come by and to see what they were doing if/when they got here. So here's the super interesting thing (if you're a nerd). OK... we had adsense on our "buzz" page for a little bit. Anywho... open that page in another window so u can understand what I'm saying. On that buzz there's a search box in the top left. So, adsense was on that page which means google's...

I'm not gonna get into an MS bashing rant here - cuz honestly I'm not one of those people that bashes on everything MS does. Seems like that's some peoples' favorite hobby... frankly, i don't care. (ps: OS X rules). ANYWAYS... looks like some peoples' and artists' profile are being copy and pasted straight from MS Word or some other insane program. If you see wierd Lucky Charms marshmellow looking things on peoples' profiles etc with some other strange...

So there's a new feature that I just put up... 1/2 of its obvious stuff we just hadn't goten to yet and the other 1/2 is pretty cool. so here's the deets.... On any person's profile page you'll see a link under their picture called "recommend music". So you can click on link to send a special private message to em to check out any of your favorite bands. The screen to "compose" the recommendation is basic... Its got a dropdown with you fav bands...

People have asked if I'm related to Frank, the goat on LiveJournal.com. Honestly no, but Frank is a dear friend of mine. As far as goat mascots go he's definitely a legend. But Frank's a normal goat and I'm a pygmy goat... so anyways. you know that goat from Adam Sandler's talking goat bit on that one CD of his. Ya.. that's my great uncle. He's since passed on and will always be remembered as a super important figure in the goat community. He bridged the...

Hey guys we're re-writing the player - or at least some chunks of it. So ya... be aware that the player is a bit tempermental right now. Sometimes it wants to work sometimes it doesn't. We're considering this a HUGE priority. We just got a Flash badass on board to work his magic and get that bastard player into tip-top shape. Anywho... so expect a new and WAY imprved player in a week or 2. I know it's kinda annoying right now, but its a BETA right? So hang in there and...
