Here's the latest on radio hidebound10:40:37 PMBecause I'm obviously a fucking idiot and too fucking stoopid to get MySQL working (not that I'm bitter about this or anything), we've switched the backend of radio hidebound to PostgreSQL. Now before you start thinking I must be pretty smart to even know about PostgreSQL, it is the default database choice for new installations of SAM. So there.
How did we get here? Well, somebody on the Spacial Audio forum (the guys who develop SAM) suggested I use MySQL 4.0.x instead of MySQL 4.1.x. Well, I couldn't get MySQL 4.0.whateverthefuckitwas installed, so I went with PostgreSQL. I could use some more expletives for humorous effect, but really, I think I've fucking kicked that cocksucker to death.
By the way, when does Deadwood start again?
So, we're back to square zero using PostgreSQL. I have no idea if there is any way to save the phpbb data (which would suck cause I loved that discussion on Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah ) , but I'm feeling better now to be away from that MySQL piece of shaving cream (heh heh, points for anyone who gets that reference - I'll even add your favourite guilty pleasure song to radio hidebound's playlist, unless it's Blonde Redhead [private joke]).
Of course, tomorrow I'll be bitching about PostgreSQL.
There is some good news. The request feature on www.hidebound.com is working again, and I installed the newest release of AudioGrabber (the software we use to rip mp3 files) on one of the computers which didn't succumb to Sunday's catastrophe. Also installed a ripper called dBpowerAMP, which has a nice feature of being able to combine songs as it rips. Watch out, all 40 minutes of Tubular Bells (in HEAVY rotation) is on it's way <grin>.
