MYSTERY BABYLON (153)

"MYSTERY BABYLON (153)" (WEBMASTER'S COLUMN)

WWW, October 24 2008 - Where so many, knowingly or not, follow Aleister Crowley's law which makes Hedonism the purpose of life, there are as many who are unable to step out of Babylon as they cannot even take that first step.

That step being, to admit to ourselves that we ourselves are initiated, we have to stop consider certain things as if they are part of ourselves, and these are not the things that usually always make us "feel bad".

It sounds so simple. After all, when you desire to step out of Babylon, is that not in itself a realization that you're actually in there?

Well, apparently not.

Let's take a few examples.

More Tomorrow...

One Love, Give Thanks,

REGGAE TUNES I MISS WHEN I'M AWAY (DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW)



WWW, October 2008 - There's no specific reason for any of the selections in this one-hour Podcast, other than that they are Reggae and our host missed those tunes while he was out of town.

Why didn't he record them before going out? We can't tell you. But we're glad he didn't!

REGGAE TUNES I MISS WHEN I'M AWAY
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW



WWW, October 2008 - There's no specific reason for any of the selections in this one-hour Podcast, other than that they are Reggae and our host missed those tunes while he was out of town.

Why didn't he record them before going out? We can't tell you. But we're glad he didn't!

Peter Tosh called it Reggaemylitus. We all suffer from it. You, I, and our host.

From Rocksteady to Rub a Dub and everything in between, this selection has it. As long as it is Jamaican, and not produced before let's say 1982, there is some representant of the different vibes in it.

We really go from one style into the next, without warning. One vibe after the other. This is the kind of Podcast you put on when you really don't know (anymore) what to play, other than the fact it must be Reggae cause you just can't miss the music.

Check it!

TWO SERVER ISSUES

TWO SERVER ISSUES
FROM THE DUBROOM WEBMASTER



WWW, October 23 2008 - The Dubroom Webmaster would like to ask your attention concerning two issues with the Dubroom server, as Yahoo puts their mark where they shouldn't do it and fail to update material that should be updated!

Greetings!

Yesterday I woke up and saw a Yahoo "Favicon" on the Dubroom website. A "Favicon" is a little graphic file that is displayed in your browser's address field on top.

I was not amused, as I had to find out what a favicon was and tried to get the Yahoo thing of my website by making my own. That didn't happen.

I was now pissed off, I can tell you. Even though I can imagine that they kind of make a favicon and then give us the opportunity to change it into our own, even though that in itself would have been an unethical thing. After all, it is like you rent a house but then the guy who rent it to you puts his own mark on there without you even asking it.

I asked a comment from Yahoo and didn't get it. So I made a remark on the Dubroom Front Page and it is going to stay on there until they change it.

Yes, I'm pissed.

I have another reason to be pissed.

As you may or may not know, the Dubroom has an MP3 spotlight. This is an extra attention given to an artist or podcast. To draw attention, I have a graphic file called spotlight.jpg linking to a page spotlight.htm and I simply update the picture and the page, while keeping the same filename.

Today, October 23, I changed the MP3 spotlight. The pages change as I wanted, but not the picture. I even deleted the picture from the website, re-uploaded it, but the old one stays there. No, it's no issue at my computer cause I use several.

Again I wrote to Yahoo customer "service". But the fact that I subsequently wrote this little update which I plan to post on the Dubroom front-page tomorrow indicates my expectations.

I am pissed at Yahoo for doing these things. I find them unacceptable and when they continue to do this, I will definitely change providers.

I'll keep you posted.
