Finally got round to uploading my photos and videos from my first trip to The Warehouse Project for Ape’s 1st Birthday. Photos include shots of the set-up and most of the acts, and the videos include a 5 minute strecth of Rahzel doing the Beat, the Chorus, the Bassline, and the Verse “at the same time!”. Spectating included myself, Claudio, Vish, Barney, Andy, Will, Jake, John, and Tom. The lineup from 12am [that I saw, in chronological order] included:
Rahzel
Ed Rush & Optical
Andy C
High Contrast and Logistics Back2Back

This morning I had some amazing news. I’ve been nominated as one of six people to contend the title of Best Male at this years Student Radio Awards! And just to immortalise it I’ve included a screen shot of the nominations page to the right. I’m really chuffed to be nominated and I owe a huge wealth of thanks to all those people who have contributed to the show especially Dan and Showbiz Harry.
However, the competition is tough, and although I’m not holding my breath its nice to dream eh? From last years winners you can see there are a few familiar names. You can hear what I’m up against (and some mighty fine quality student radio it is I hasten to add) by clicking from the links below:

– Also nominated for best entertainment.
Of course the other good news is that I wasn’t the only DJ nominated. Minnie, last years station manager and winner of Best Female is set to defend her title this year, and a show where two guys hook up their mac books and produce live electronic music called Mantis in Motion has been nominated for Best Specialist Music Programming.
This years Student Radio Awards are being held in the New Connaught Rooms in London on Thursday 9th November. Scott Mills and Jo Whiley will be presenting the awards on the night. Also this year everyone who has been nominated will receive an invitation to the GCAP nominees’ lunch in Leicester Square on the day of the awards.

We broadcast on 87.9FM within the Manchester area but also online at www.fusefm.co.uk. In order to listen online you’ll need either winamp, realplayer, or itunes and then follow this link. And as well as listening to me you can now watch me too with the studio webcam!
Coming up on tomorrow’s show we have special guests Public Enterprise who are playing at Jabez Clegg later tomorrow evening. We’ll be chatting about how they came about and playing some exclusive tracks for our listeners. Also coming up are some new regular features including Dan’s Great Giveaway, and Pete Jackson’s Track of the Week.
If you want a sneaky preview you can get hold of an hour that I was on air when I came by the studio to find it empty. There was an impromptu bit of banter and shameless self promotion from me and Showbiz Harry. Download it

Well we’re getting there. Slowly but surely we are getting there. Did I just use the royal ‘we’? #shrugs shoulders# Either way I am slowly transferring the files from the old site to their folders on the new site. That does mean, however, that anyone who doesn’t know to come here will be getting a large collection of 404s.
Of course I didn’t get anywhere today with out my dose of trouble. Its been hot, very hot. Especially in my room in Manchester with large bay windows that catch a lot of the afternoon sun. As a consequence my PC likes to crash. I installed a new fan in it a few weeks back when I was having similar problems and that seemed to do the trick, but today must have just been too much. I installed a nice bit of freeware called Mother Board Monitor available for download from http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=311 which tells me temperatures of things and stuff. My CPU was running at 74 degrees celsius which caused MBM to make lots of bleepy noises so I’m assuming thats a bad thing. I’ve since taken the side off and the CPU temp has cooled to 62 degrees and the case temp has dropped from 37 to 32. What I did notice with this utility was that when doing CPU intensive work like resizing JPGs it is unadvisable to do it at 74 degrees because when your CPU hits 75 your going to get some lovely BSODs [blue screen of death for non geeky types].
Anyways. The Uni galleries are up and you can access them by just clicking the uni link in the main menu. The galleries are sorted into date descending order so the most recent ones are first – unlike the travel galleries which show the early galleries first. I think thats the best way.
