Mary: 01-11-66 to 12-09-02
posted by koly
from the stereolab website:
Mary 1/11/1966 - 9/12/2002
It is with great regret and deep sadness that I must announce the death of Mary.
We will all miss her dearly.
Stereolab
A sad day indeed.

slow updates coming
posted by koly
Well, I figured out how to finally do a table join. To those of you who don't understand SQL database queries (like me), that means nothing. But, as the dim nightlight that is my understanding of dynamicicity (is that a real word?) grows, so the dim glimmer of understanding glows ever-more towards a 15 watt bulb.
In other words, I was able to alphabetize the lyrics page.
Enjoy.

minor fixes
posted by koly
I finally got around to fixing that really annoying background image problem on all the homepage area links (about uhf, about koly, site disclaimer, and the homepage itself). It looked fine on the mac platform ever since the redesign, but windoze just wouldn't display the 2nd background in the lower portion of the content box.
tis finally fixed, lads! enjoy it as it was meant to be seen.

Rarities, Bootlegs available!
posted by koly
Many thanks to reliqnet who is hosting both the rarities and the bootlegs.
This is a test, so the may not be available all the time, and if he gets slammed they'll probably disappear again til I find another solution.
But, they are UP and ready to go!
- Rarities
- Bootlegs
And check out the extra special treat - Dots and Loops - Switched on, the entire album, covered via a Casio Keyboard, courtesy of Mike Hanley. Definitely worth a listen.

movies, bootlegs, and more
posted by koly
Okay - looks like I may have found a solution to the bootlegs and rarities problems. The demand for the rarities seems to have quieted somewhat now that it seems everyone and their mother has downloaded them, and I've found a new lab-ite to host a bunch of bootlegs and the rarities.
This, in turn gives me more room on my servers to allow for other things, like videos for the multi-media section. While everything I have is old, incomplete, and outdated, I'm now able to host it, so enjoy! And they're not even in RealVideo anymore! hooray!

exhibits, multimedia redone
posted by koly
Finished up the exhibits & artwork section of the site and, in my opinion, improved it greatly from what was once the catch-all bin media section. Now there is a place for the art and exhibits stereolab seems to enjoy collaborting in.
I also implemented a javascript slideshow thing in the exhibits section, and I've tested it on a couple browsers, but please let me know if it doesn't work for you.
I was also able to tackle the multimedia section. Fortunately, I still have all the quicktime videos that appear in that section. Unfortunately, I currently don't have enough space on my server to host the files. Those damn rarities mp3s are hogging up all my file space. After I let people download them during July, I think I'll remove them for a while so I can host a bunch of other stuff.

I've completed the lyrics database at long last.
There are well over 150 songs with lyrics all driven dynamically instead of 150 seperate html pages for each song.
I'm also working on the search capabilities for each section of the site, as I know that was a feature many used on the old site. Should hopefully have some searches working by the end of the week.
