February 17 Coffeetime is now online at the Coffeetime archive, in both lo and hi bandwidth options.

Found another cool site (by way of Papel Continuo): Harry McCracken’s Home Movie Cartoon Box Museum. I particularly like his descriptions of each little animated movie and how the cartoons on the boxes didn’t always match the ones on the film inside.

February 10 Coffeetime is now online at the Coffeetime Archive.

I’ve been pretty under the weather all week. I’m not improving much, however, I’m probably doing too much too. Work and dust bunnies pile up!

Sooooo, still no playlists. Apologies. You’ll have to listen to the shows with the element of surprise inherent in live radio still intact.

February 3 Coffeetime is now online at the Coffeetime Archive, both as a 128 kbps mp3 for download (for those w/ high bandwidth) or a lo lo lo 24 kbps mp3 stream (for those on dial up). Actually, the lo lo lo version sounds fine, at least through my 'puter speakers.

I’m sick sick sick. And I never catch colds or the flu. Never. But I have now. I just wanted to hop on here and let you know the show was available, baby.

Playlist? Might take me a few days. In fact, there are two week’s worth of unfiled records and CDs lying on the floor. Sigh...

Lo-fi Streaming Option:

Hey, I have put a trial version of a “lo-fi” streaming option for last week’s show and, so far, the feedback indicates it is a success. This option if for those on dial up connections. It streams a 24 kbps mp3, which is about one fifth the size of the downloadable 128 kbps mp3.

Soon I’ll put up “lo-fi” options for all the shows.

Also, I’m going to redesign the Coffeetime Archive page soon. I bought some more server space, so I’ll have plenty of room to provide the “hi-fi” downloads and the new “lo-fi” streams. And maybe I’ll finally get around to posting the “ancient” episodes of Coffeetime like I promised.
