A Few Of DNA's Favorite Things...

Well, well, well....

DNA has been writing all weekend long, and yet it feels like weeks since the last time he has seen this website. DNA has been busy. In the last couple of days, DNA finished uploading all the content from the previous website to this one, he updated a work related website, he updated a community related website, and started a family blog, called "American Girthic." If you are really interested in the non-musically related parts of DNA's life, then you can check it out HERE. It isn't all that. In fact, after posting there a few times, it is exactly what the title implies: American Gothic, except fatter.

However, having that outlet for the more personal and family-related information means that this blog will feature less and less of DNA whining about school and family stuff, and more and more of DNA concentrating on sex, drugs, and rock and roll, with the occasional foray into politics, philosophy, and religion, too.

Stats class has been kicking DNA's ass all semester, so music will probably have to wait until closer to the end of the semester. It looks more and more like DNA's wife will be laid off soon, so lots of depressing things like scavenging for food, stealing to live, and attacking creditors with icicle knives (the perfect murder weapon) will probably take up the majority of DNA's time. [did you notice, that in the paragraph before, DNA said that having a new family blog will means less whining about school and family life problems in this blog, and then 'smack,' he donkey punches you right in the base of the skull with some school whining and family problems? That takes some gall and some balls] However, there is a happy-go-lucky song in DNA's heart, that is taking him back to his days in the Coolies, a little bit ska, a little bit weird and funky, that will likely happen soon. It's based on the tone, meter, and frequency emitted by the fire alarm mounted in the kitchen, which goes off every time a puff of smoke comes out of the stove or oven (or steam from the dishwasher, for that matter). If it doesn't come out soon, like a "Scanner" on a bad day, DNA's head will explode:D


So, back to the title: Where are a few of DNA's favorite things? Well, not having to manually back up a month's worth of stuff anymore on this new and improved website, that's one; not having to label everything "permanent historical record" blah blah blah, is another; being in contact with many friends, old and new, who are enjoying the revised website, is yet another; having independent spaces for family stuff, work stuff, and community stuff is rounding out the top 5; and still kicking out reasonably good songs, after a pretty trying several weeks, is the 5th (in no particular order) in this list of DNA's favorite things.

Tranfer Complete!

At least for now. DNA has temporarily placed all the music files in accessible places, and changed the index page of the old website to redirect people here. Everything should be ready to go. Please comment back if you find a dead link or something like that.

Tranferred...

DNA completed transferring most of the important stuff from the old website. DNA is working on setting up a new web host to hold all of the songs and image files. As soon as everything is ready, DNA will shut down the old site, and send it off in fine fashion. Until then,

Transitions....

As DNA has been transferring stuff from the old website to the new website, it has been fun to re-read some of the junk that was there. DNA is sad that at least at present, it will lose access on the blog to so much of the archived music from his old bands, but DNA is working on that. DNA hopes to find a very cheap (read free) hosting site to house the stuff.

So, DNA hopes you are reading the new-fangled blog, "Twin Rockets Are A Go, Baby!" and are fondly kissing goodbye "The Shape Of Things To Have Come And Gone." All good things and most suck-ass things must come to an end.

The New, Smaller, Cheaper Blog....

Well, folks,

For several years now, DNA has been posting on a fancy big website, which he pays a lot for every month. Since it looks like DNA's wife is getting an employmentectomy, he figures it is about time to cut his budget, and reformat the website, using the FREE resources available to folks on sites like blogspot. So, starting today, DNA will begin the long process of transferring over lots of old stuff.

What do we lose in the process? Not a bit of DNA's witty banter, or socially relevant commentary, but we do lose some of the old photos strewn across the site like the remnants of a raccoon war over a rotten bag of garbage; we do lose quite a bit of the audio archived on the site, but DNA will begin the process of putting it up on his myspace page.

So, this site is poised, and ready to go, but will not go active until DNA knows for sure that the old site is doomed.
