Audio files not playing

Having moved my content to the cloud, my audio files are once again not playing.

Sugarsync used to allow direct access to files, meaning I could stream my MP3s via the Google reader player. They've now added an intermediary page which means this no longer works. Looks like I'll have to pony-up for a dedicated server after all.

In the meantime, here is a workaround: on Safari, go to a blog post, click play on the player, open up the 'Activity' page (under the 'Window' menu) and look for the Sugarsync URL. Double-click this and it should take you to the download. On Firefox, right-click to 'View Page Source', then search for the Sugarsync link.

Server Update

Turns out my server is not down: the domain was allowed to expire and my content deleted.

I'm looking into a solution for my audio files, either on a new server or at Bandcamp. In the meantime, I'll start migrating my pictures to Google's Picassa.

I don't know whether edited posts are re-sent to subscribers or followers, but don't be surprised if you get a slew of old posts in your inbox!

This situation was caused by mis-communication which was out of my hands. Having to re-upload three years' worth of content is a royal PITA, but there is a positive side. It has served as a wake-up call and allows me to reorganize the blog to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Pinch and a Punch for the 1st of the Month

My server is down and, with it, most of my content.

Hopefully back up soon!
