Okay,

So I'm finished up with grad school for the semester. I still have one huge semester to go and then hopefully be free of school for a while. I do have a couple of HUGE tests to take care of this month, and well I will get them done. NO wrries there.

I'm well on my way to getting some of those game reviews done, or having someone else do them for me. I will admit it would be nice to have a few others out there do some of these game reviews. I'm sure there are games out there that you love and want to talk about that i don't like so much.

Also lets not forget the movies, books, and other things that we have in our daily lives that we like to talk about. Say someone you know is getting ready to buy a new microwave... is there a brand you want them to avoid or go for? Things like that.

Anyway, i'm going to cut things here but given a shout to Gilgamoth and Noyes. Gilgamoth for running that launch of the illuminatus album and Noyes for bringing us Paintball radio. Also

Okay folks...

 So i am going to head down to philly for that eve meetup.  I'm getting to leave right now.    Sunday Hangout for right now is canceled.   Wish me luck because i'm going to meet up with Zapatero (EON magazine editor), and Calderio the Massive will be there.   

Laters!

These are both great questions and I suppose a few people would like to know. So what have I been up to...? I figured I would go into my little story of how I came here.

Well, as many know I came about EUR around Christmas 2 years ago I think. I started playing Eve-Online when I was in the U.S. Navy. Sad, I know. You won't believe how many people in the service play MMOs. I started off in my early years with Ultima Online, Anarchy beta, Darksun beta, and even that one game where they ended the beta with a meteor killing everyone off. Quite fun. Don't remember the name but who cares. Of course, my friends all convinced me to play World of Warcraft because everyone did. Naturally because I'm so in tune with fitting in and giving in to peer pressure (sarcasm btw), I gave it a shot. And I liked it.

That is until I realized I picked the wrong side... Alliance. For the horde, everyone said. Arg! So, for about a year or so, I played my lil human warlock until I couldn't anymore. I had every

Long awaited.. though posted now. ENJOY!

Yep, after a bit of a long development schedule, I've finally finished my requester.

Why did it take so long? Well I had to re-write it from scratch because the one that comes with SAM, doesn't do what I wanted it to. The requester that comes with SAM (the application the DJ's use) needs SAM to be running to accept the requests, where as mine does not, so it allows people to request song to be played on my show all through the week. Cool Eh?

It's not finished yet, but it works, so head over to http://gilgamoth.edenunderground.com go to the playlist & requests section and request your fave songs.

Don't forget to fill in your name and a brief message so I can say Hi on air.

I swear we have more tags that I know what to do with anymore.   While i have a minor breather here at work, I thought I would post up something about what has been going on behind the scenes here at EUR.   If i said A LOT would you believe me.

I've been trying to talk to all teh DJs as much as i can to get some ideas about how to make things a little more appealing for the listeners, and some of the DJs have stepped up to have those talks with me.  One of the major things that was implimented was a change in the Auto Play, and how it works.  

As of right now, the requester is still on the fritz, but there are some things that i need to deal with to get it to work right.  It seems that some where, something wants to block traffic coming to my computer.   Funny part is, it's not my computer or my routers natural fire wall.  Which equals annoying as hell.  

Also, I've been working with the

Well last night was my 4th show, having missed last weeks due to being unwell and I'm really enjoying it and getting really good feed back from the listeners.

I just wanted to let you know about a new website I'm designing similar to Xerserox's Auto Play site that allows you to view my play list and (in future) post requests that will get played through during my show.

It still needs some work (the requester isn't there and neither are the podcasts), but you can see back to what I've played during each show. It can be accessed at http://eur.gilgamoth.is-a-geek.net . Please give me any feed back through the forums or via my e-mail address gilgamoth (at) edenunderground (dot) com

Oh and I'm hoping to have a radio exclusive in the near future, so watch this space.

Well i guess while i have a little time to do this i would write something so that you all think that I'm not dead, nor am I a ghost.   Hell if you tune in you know I'm back doing two shows a week.  Sunday Hangout and Metal Mayhem (and it's glorious return = the loss of my voice.)

No, what I wanted to talk about was the two new DJs and the one off return of DMF!   I wanted to give a warm shout to DJ Gilgamoth and what he has been doing on his show.  It seems like he is trying to get the Eve-Online audience back into EUR.  So, If anyone wants to have a contest for Eve-Online listeners, let me know.   I will reactivate my account, and give you some money for it.   I need to reactivate my account at least for a month here because i need to get my main character out of 0.0 space.

Freakzor has his freak show on saturday's early.  You have o tune into that because OMG... last week he

Well, it's about 6 hours until I do my first show and I'm teetering between excitement and a gibbering bag of nerves.

What if the stream doesn't work? What if no-one likes what I play? What if? ... What if?

If I smoked, I'd have gone though a packet or two by now...

Ah well only tonight will tell so please be gentle ...

I'm a slacker, I'm a bad blogger, etc etc etc.

Well, I'm busy!

Anyway, I've spent a couple of days working on stuff for EUR, not writing but new sweepers... listen for them specifically on DJ Villan's show, for now, but they'll be spread. Of course, my version of "working on" things is more like drinking beer and bsing on Skype and just recording it so I can pull out the good bits later... but still... it's hard work!

Otherwise, its just class and things, been kind of hectic. More on that later, possibly, I'm just posting a little sum sum to let you all know I haven't forgotten about you, honest!
