It was just after Gideon revealed that GarageBand.com was being shut down
and I was just upramping to rescue as many artists as possible there in it's
last week, when suddenly, I was in need of moving the station, and so I did
not manage to do a last harvest there, but got everyone possible in the last
two years there, seeing it was coming...
It was summer, and I was suddenly in need of finding a new location for the
station, in the middle of a housing crisis, no less. And so it happened that I
was given to relocate the station to Salt Spring Island, which is a place of art
and artists and musicians in Canada, not far from Victoria and Vancouver Island,
and so now the station is streaming from the Canadian wilderness again, and
as a workaround to the rental housing crisis, I opted to buy a portable office
and living unit to escape the increasing rental rates the wars left us with here.
The station was down completely for two weeks in July, and then in August was
running remotely, returning to live programming in September, at 128k, and then
back up to 160k in October. I lost 2 out of three redundant station servers in
the transition phase, but that has only been a catalyst to get new boxes here,
but the main computer remains fully operational and on the air live.
It has taken a little while for me to get settled in here, where I have transitioned
to owning my own place for the station and things, but I am just getting caught
up now, and I am proceeding with Harvest Number 84, exclusively at ArtistServer.com
now, and over the coming days would be reviewing all the new electronic music
released at ArtistServer.com since June to mix up into program number 84.0.
I was just being given to think about how 2011 is just ahead, marking the tenth
anniversary of ArtistServer.com (like so many successful dot-com's these days),
which found me thinking back to 1999, 2000, and 2001, when all this was so new
and exciting, and all the music producing artists were gathering and collaborating
and putting their work online for the first time.
Ten years is a long time on the internet.
How things have changed.
