SFG…On the Air!
Welcome to my latest obsession. At long last (after close to fifteen years) I’ve become a broadcaster again, though myCaster. I toyed around with them a while ago, but I didn’t have a decent Internet connection then. But now, my cable modem has allowed me to go on the air, to all the ships at sea.
This…is Short Fat Guy Radio!
I’ve been broadcasting every evening from around seven to nine. Come visit. And there will be a special broadcast on April 24, which you can read about at my Li’l Stubby & the Disappointments page. And, by the way, requests can be sent to ICQ# 24657523.

Changes
At long last I finally got BeOS 5 (the free, personal edition) up to speed on my computer—not only with sound and color but with Internet access and e-mail . My joy is tempered however by the realization my web pages look like crap in the built-in NetPositive browser.
Changes needed to be made. The Java had to go. Actually, the Java got moved, to its own webcam page. The image to the left [the webcam image, now on the right] will be fairly static from now on, but if (for some reason) you’re that determined to see if I’m online, just click on the image to go to a separate webcam page.
I hope the change isn’t too bothersome. But at least this page will show some life beyond Windows.

But I’ve got to Mambo!
Well, I received some disheartening news about one of the gadgets I planned to discuss here. A while ago I had ordered a Mambo X MP3-compatible portable CD player, and I just received word it was finally ready to ship. Unfortunately, according to the e-mail I just received, “some features have changed since the original specifications. Track and title names are no longer supported, as are the playlist and search capabilities. A constant bitrate from 64kbps - 160kbps is supported. Variable bitrate at 50% is supported (VBR50).” So reluctantly I’ve decided to cancel my order and hope for some form of second generation Mambo X.
It’s about time I did something on this [Gadgets] page though. So just for the heck of it, here’s some free software! These are programs I’ve been using for quite a while both at home and at work. In no way do I claim these programs as my own; I did not write them, they are simply freely distributed freeware:

Changes
I managed to do a bit of work on the website today and over the weekend.
I worked on some RealVideo files for my Buffett section and I also double-checked and updated my Links page. —All to the tune of Rhino’s stellar Superman CD reissue.
