Just recently the Asylum-ET website completed it’s second phase as we added the ability for unsigned bands and artists to register for a free account so they can get started on creating their personal band page as well as publishing their music online. The website offers mp3 audio and flv video players for bands as well as Band Logs or as we refer to them Blogs for each of the bands to embed in their webpage so they may keep their fan base up to date on upcoming events, shows and album releases just to name a few things.

Warning: Probably nothing new to you since this is what I often do but this is a bit of a rant. Once again I find myself aggravated with our ignorance as a so-called advanced species. Recently there have been rumors of counterfeit money being circulated in the city that I live in. Nothing new there I suppose but the thing that I now find funny is the fact that a real counterfeit bill “I know that is sort of a oxy moron but anyway” a real counterfeit bill would cost upwards of twenty dollars to print, being that the ink is multi-colored, there are watermarks, a metal strip, the paper is not a normal every day stock made from wood but rather is a cloth fiber and that is not even to mention that I don’t know where the heck you think you could get plates or a press to print “real counterfeit bills”.

This was the first time we have got involved in pyrotechnics in a long time since permits, location and firemen are all needed for a show like that. This time everything fell right into place perfectly. We photographed and filmed the fireworks display and I have put it together into a nice little video for you all to check out. Maybe the next time we do something like this we will have it a little more planned out but this was a pretty spectacular show for a birthday party. The complete show took almost 4 Gigabytes of video and 50 Megabytes in JPEG still images before being edited to fit the time of one audio track.
Editing of the audio, video, images and rendering took close to 4 hours. Hope you enjoy, I know we did but next time I am wearing a hardhat… I got rocked in the head with a spent casing wizzing out of the sky as I stood a few hundred feet below the launch site filming. No worries, luckily it was nothing serious. Gave me a slight headache for a few Before I show the video though I must stress that this was done with permits, firemen and proper location. Do not try to do this yourself unless you know what you are doing, hired professionals or whatever it takes to make sure you are safe and have acquired proper permits, etc. I have known professionals who knew what they were doing that have lost body parts or worse due to slight oversight and or slips so now with that said enjoy the video.

First off I would like to say that this laptop has been a complete joke since the beginning.
When I purchased the laptop I asked the fellow at Staples if it included a restore CD because I intended to install WinXP Pro on it. He said that it did and that would not be a problem and claimed to have done the very same thing himself. I paid a little over $1000 USD for the laptop.

We have recently really pissed off some folks with our willingness to tell it as it is and as a result we have seen a serious increase in the amount of Spam related traffic. It could very well be coincidence but that is highly doubtful given the IP addresses of the offenders. Just the same we have investigated the traffic and found that the majority are attempts at email forgery where a Spammer tries to send email with our domain as the return address so it would seem to have come from us.

Hello folks, a few weeks back we had some issue pop up with Big G and their Adsense program. We have not spoken out about this for fear of Big G taking action against us by banning us from search results or whatever have you but have since seen so many things that cause disgust on the big G’s part that we wont sit idly by and watch.

I was just looking at our last addition to the downloads section and I see in the upgrade to the new site the download section broke. All you would see when trying to download a file was a white page with the files name :/ That was a simple fix but I want to apologize to anyone who had been trying to download one of the files. All is back to good now

About a week ago we had noticed the image server we were using for the album art covers was failing. Looking into it we found that the image server must be under a high load and there really is not too much we could do about that since we do not own or control that server so we decided to add a new image server of our own to even out the load from all the album art covers. During the process though we had to shift the load somewhere since the image server was down about 80% of the time. I set up a small private server that handled the image requests until we could get this all worked out.
