A problem at the DataCenter caused the server to lose internet connection from 11am - 4pm today. The problem was unknown, but everything should be working now.

As of right now, things will remain the same, I am working on some new ideas and stuff which will "spice" up the site some, the radios part is off to a good start thanks to the help of DangerousA. Things will also slowly become a bit more organized in the back side, like a hard copy of chain of command. I will make sure to keep you all posted. Just check back here time to time.

Lol, that wasn't me last time. Really, It sounds like it was blamed on me though.

Am i really in charge now? Hmm, I wonder what I shall do first.... Vacation?

Actually I have Sony Acid 5 and have made some things in that. Those are royalty free and we could use those whenever and wherever and copyright them for ourselves.

If someone can find out what we can and can't place up there. I can place whatever MP3 files I can come accross, theme songs for wrestlers, etc. We could also possibly include them into the show as background noise. I know Mozart, betoveen, and a few other songs which are royalty free.

Just an heads up, you don't have to download it, if you click the green play button on the right, it streams it real time, so you can start listening within seconds.

Sounds more like a possible hardware problem, such as overheating power supply or CPU, however bad ram or things can cause random resets too. I would disable the following, assuming your using windows XP: Start > My Computer (right Click & properties) > Advanced (Tab) > Settings (bottom left) > in the "System Failure" area, uncheck the "Restart Automatically" See how that works.

Could be a possible bad hard drive or bad sectors, which can cause a system to hang or act similar, without using CPU or much memory. Just a guess though

Today’s downtime starting @ approximately 4.23pm was a bit unexpected. The Data Center where the server is Co-Located lost power and their UPS systems seemed to of failed, causing the server to improperly shutdown. That caused the database tables which the forum runs from to be corrupt. Things should be back in order.

This problem has been solved, so I am closing the topic.

Well put... I have both of these devices, one which uses and SD Memory card, and I bring it when I go biking, jogging, or off roading. My iPod, is used for about all other things, base jumping.

Just to make sure no one freaks out, or panics. The site will not go down in August 15th. Things will operate the same, I will slowly work on getting things a bit organized, so I know some of what is taking place. If you have ANY questions, please do not hesitate to contact me @ admin_at_thesmartmarks.com or PM me on the forums. Again I ASSURE YOU, the forums will definitely not be going down, as it’s in a 2 year contract which started in April. So I hope that makes you guys feel more stable.

They also make USB ones, which don't require you opening up your PC and installing anything.

The only problem with that, is it defeats the purpose of us using ads to try to make a little money to support the site.... I am looking at making the ads show up to GUEST only.

Its ok, well all have those days.

Need to update video drivers. If you have an Geforce or TNT2 Card, go HERE If you have an ATI card go HERE If you have an older computer its probably a Trident, SIS, or some other smaller name chip, and I would try searching for the chipset number on Google.

Just to let you know, this software is pretty dang stable, and if you compare it feature wise with Windows Media Center is has more features and possibilities. From my expertise, which I know many of you don't even know what I do for a living, I would recommend this for at least a try. Very easy to install and uninstall, as well as setup. I have been using this throughout my house through a video distribution system for almost a year now, with little trouble. I bought the remote (ATI Remote Wonder I) for approximately $20 off eBay (NEW) and it works anywhere in my 2 story house.(from the PC in my computer networking closet upstairs. I did attach a FM antenna to it since they use similar frequencies and that helped it a lot. Anyways. That’s my 2 cents.

I am sorry about that. It should be fixed now.

What Resolution are you running? and exact version number of FireFox? They have 1.0.6 out, BTW. Mike - TSM Server Admin

DON'T BUY ONE!!!! Seriously, get a normal PC or build it your self, and use the MediaPortal Software found @ http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/ Any PC which has a video out can be used as one of these and it’s FREE! The only thing an average PC lacks is a TV Tuner Card.

a friend of a friend of my sister in laws step cousin told me try the following: Blubster, Kazza Lite K++, or Overnet, but hey, what do I or they know??? I prefer iTunes, the one click solution is nice, however its not so pretty when the bill comes in. I have heard ok remarks about Napsters service, if you wanted to load up on music cheaply.

If you could find some screen type sheet metal and paint it maybe that would work, however i think you may be out of luck if you want an attractive looking solution.
