neveronfriday Posted October 30, 2003 Report Posted October 30, 2003 (edited) Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right place, although it seems to fit, but I thought you might want to have a look at deus62/jazz, my own jazz site on the Net. The latest additions are a lengthy profile of Ed Thigpen and a longer review of the London House Sessions. This month's featured year on the timeline is 1929 (100+ kb and growing ...). You can also drop by via the homepage which provides links to other sections of the site. I hope you don't mind this post (advertising your own stuff is never really a good idea), but do drop by. Cheers! Edited November 1, 2003 by deus62 Quote
AfricaBrass Posted October 30, 2003 Report Posted October 30, 2003 Nice site! I'll have to look at it more when I have some time. I hope you will join in on the discussions around here. Quote
neveronfriday Posted October 30, 2003 Author Report Posted October 30, 2003 Thanx! Shall do. I've been reading along here for quite a while already ... Cheers! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted October 30, 2003 Report Posted October 30, 2003 deus62 welcome. I have no problem sharing the love! Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 31, 2003 Report Posted October 31, 2003 It would be nice if you would post a link to this bulletin board on your site. Quote
neveronfriday Posted October 31, 2003 Author Report Posted October 31, 2003 Will do. The link page is temporary ... I'm redoing that part using a database. When I'm done, this forum will certainly be listed. Cheers! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted October 31, 2003 Report Posted October 31, 2003 I really like your site. It looks like a real labor of love! I dig the Thigpen profile and the timeline idea is a great one! Quote
neveronfriday Posted November 1, 2003 Author Report Posted November 1, 2003 Thanks AfricaBrass! It actually is a labor of love. I just have so much stuff flying around here (CDs, LPs, books, magazines, etc.), I could write up a storm if I had the time. deus62/jazz has only been around for a short while. Previously I ran a blog under that address which covered music in general (and got far too broad in scope to update in any serious manner). I do listen to lots of stuff (anything from Mussorgsky to Audioslave, from Seeed [Germany's, nay, Europe's best 'riddim' ... switch to English at the top right of their main page] to reissues of the 70s [universal Deluxe Editions], and much, much more]. But jazz music in all shapes and colors has always been my first love (well, exclude that headbanger phase end 70s, begining 80s). The only problem I have with my site at the moment is that some of the pages (the Thigpen profile and the timeline page you mentioned) easily exeed 100kb. I have no problems with that because most of my readers are geeks with Apple and PC powerhouses on/underneath their desks, but it might scare off the average user. Still, my CMS is easier to handle and the site much easier to update if I keep things the way they are. Oh, btw, I've quickly added a link to the organissimo forum to the link page anyway for now. That whole section will be redone whenever the next version of the CMS I use comes out (that would be pMachine by Rick Ellis, a wonderful program which is also available in a nearly unlimited free version ... check it out). Currently, I have to tweak around quite a bit to get the pages to look the way I want them to look, but the next version of pMachine will address many of the issues and I will be able to do a lot more (complicated) stuff. And, no, I'm not paid by Rick for the ad. I just love the program, as do many other users who have some great sites out there. Cheers! Quote
