Ok so here we go again I am now on theme number 3 so while I updated a few lines here and there the thought here is still the same. Now originally as soon as I put theme number 1 on the web right away the "free" WordPress theme I was using ON OUR OWN SERVER suddenly locked me out and wanted money. Now I have done this for many years so it was not a surprise but I have a real problem with any software or web theme or anything that claims it's "FREE" but as soon as you actually start using it they want money or an email address or something, they want to know who you are and get something from it and with WordPress that's a never-ending option-limited ancient technology based money pit and all that time getting that far is up in smoke and wasted. I can't say I was surprised, I have battled with them in the past before but never ever again.

I have been hearing about CMS based static websites and after a bit of research found a better way. I have been down the road with several server companies and themes and c-panels and hosts and you name it, and some won't do this some won't do that and if it involves media or streaming they have a list of rules, high charges and prices and hidden fees even if your a musician and you wrote and copyrighted your own work, you still cant post players or files and they say "we don't do those things, you need to own your own server for that" and god help anyone that wants to own and run their own Shoutcast server or website.

I finally bought Beary and I our own server and decided to dig in and learn the code and do the things I have always wanted to but have put off for years. Here's the honest truth: This server costs me less per month than the 2 rental Shoucast streams I was paying for that Beary and I used for years in-world and now I have us set up with every feature we always wanted but nobody offers at the moment AND we each have our own website too and and file hosting and all of this is fully up to date with the latest state of the art software and security and we have full control over all of it PLUS I now have a few extra 100 listener Shoutcast streaming servers for friends and family if someone needs one in a hurry for an event or something.

So welcome to the new world and website theme 3. Cleaner, faster and state of the art. It's a work in progress but keeps getting better and there's more coming soon. I have a lot of projects in the works that will all be showing up here as they happen and as I learn more about all the changes there will be more features and ways you the reader can interact. ALSO: I am working on a software project that you will be hearing soon that will forever change how streaming DJ's and servers work that is globally huge. Goodbye SQL servers, goodbye Sam and goodbye to all of the high priced, garbage 30 year old designs and software that currently dominates the DJ/streaming/podcasting market and runs streaming servers and auto dj and control systems like this-acast or that-acast or whatever-panel, goodbye to ancient high priced outdated encoding systems and goodbye to playlist based automation and goodbye to all of those php/sql based websites and themes and software.

Truth is the corporate world has been trying to replace live DJ's and entertainers and musicians with automated and expensive experiments for 70 years. The corporate world has been holding "we the users" hostage in technology and hidden secrets for decades. To hell with all of them! It's time we got rid of all the poorly maintained and updated garbage that was created in windoze 98 and xp once and for all just like we got rid of tape based broadcast radio and TV automation in the 70s and 80s, the future is here now and we should be in it no matter if your a creator, writer, producer, podcaster, musician, or DJ you should be using it and not dreaming about it and I'm sick of paying 4 digit or more figures for software and code that was outdated before it ever got released to the world. I am sick of operating systems that have become marketing systems that control us that we have no choices with where we cannot even choose our default programs and software, we can change the world. I am already there and I want you to be there too. We need to stop being sheep and letting the corporate world pull the wool over our eyes and lives and the money out of our wallets.

I started this project to bring people who love music and fun and shared ideas together. I came to talk about life, music and tech stuff we all have to deal with, and find new better ways to do the things that the corporate world has held us in place at for 70 years. Creating open-source, solid, stable, state of the art code is free. You just need to learn it. If I can do it at my age, anyone can. Please bookmark this site, and check back and I will be adding a hassle free subscription system as this grows. Thank you for reading, more soon.
