Technical Nonsense

3-2-1 Contact!

Earlier today, one of my loyal readers pointed out that there was no obvious way to contact yours truly via this site. That’s what you call a “glaring oversight”, or “enormous fuck-up” if you’re feeling salty.

So at absolutely no expense to myself, I now have a site-based email where you can reach me: scratchbomb@scratchbomb.com. (Clever!) I’ve also added a handy dandy link to said email address over in the navigation column to your right, which should allow you to email me in the blinking of an eye. But don’t blink too much when writing your email. It may lead to embarrassing misspellings.

Carry on.

Technical Nonsense

Yes We Can (Create Unnecessary Work For Ourselves)!

Here’s the thing: I had planned to totally listen through the final MP3 of the first triumphant episode of Holy Goddamn!, but time conspired against me. Plus, I got a little anxious. So I posted it anyway, confident that nothing could possible be wrong with it (from a technical standpoint, anyway).

Of course, listening to it later, I discovered that the “final” MP3 had some weird digital noise attached to all of the spoken word bits. I didn’t really want to output a new file, but I found this noise way too distracting to let go. “Hey, that should be easy to remove” I says to myself.

*doodly-doodly-doo* Seven hours later, drenched in sweat and self-defeat, I finally removed this noise.

Unfortunately, if you’ve already subscribed to the podcast and want to download this episode, you will probably have to go into iTunes and unsubscribe. Then, once you’ve done that, click here to resubscribe.

Sorry to create extra work for alla y’all, but I promise this new version sounds much, much better. It doesn’t sound like I’m yelling through a kid’s Darth Vader voice box anymore. If you need proof, check out the original post and try out the Flash player to sample the improvements.

And if you notice anything else wrong in the podcast, GO TO HELL! I mean, please let me know.

The Twittering Continues

I kinda browbeat Sean from Massapequa into creating a Twitter account, and now he’s mad at me for not mentioning it in my last post. In fact, he threatened my dog. I told him I don’t have a dog, and all he said was, “I know.” I have no idea what that means, but I’m terrified.

So anyway, Sean from Massapequa has a Twitter account. So does frequent Scratchbomb contributor Skitch Hanson. So go and follow them, won’t you?

Wait, first follow me, okay? ‘Cause right now I only have 3 followers–two of which are mentioned above. Man, it’s just like high school all over again.
