I miss the WARP forum :-( |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
:( |

from joyrex, on tavcom: "Sorry once again for the delays... we had a death in the family (a cousin my wife was really close to), so I've been tied up giving support to my wife and her parents and have not had any time to check on the status of the server, etc. Tonight is the first real chance I've had to get some time to myself, and the funeral is Saturday. I'll check on the server status and post an update as soon as I know what's going on. DNS changes have not been put in yet, so even if the server is ready, it will take a few days for the domain to transfer, etc. Unfortunately, all the extra money I made freelancing the week prior was taken up by donations to the family, so the CMS is in limbo (won't affect the forum though) until I can fanagle some cash out of my wife and I's meager budget excess and convince her that we can live on Ramen® noodles for a week for WATMM Again, thanks for your patience, and don't think for a second this is the end - rather, it's a new beginning, and the beginning I feel WATMM should have had from the start. I am seriously considering selling the majority of my vinyl on Ebay (or perhaps just post it on the WATMM forum for the first takers) in order to get the compilation out - I want this record to come out, and at this point, I'm willing to give up things I treasure to ensure I keep my promise to all of you. " |

don't sell your vinyl you buffoon! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
come on wattm regulars... cough up those donations ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The Warp board looked gorgeous, but I was never a regular there and it's a hazy memory. From what I remember, it was decadent and spiraled out of control. IDM fans, man. IDM fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone got screenshots of the WARP board? it was shut down before i knew about it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need donations too, it's getting out of hands... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can have my kidneys & joyrex can have my liver. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on wattm regulars... also cough up those donations for xltronic! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*cough* o wait, it's about the bling and the zing. no sorry, i can't deny my parasitical nature. i'd be willing to pay if you give me a lapdance though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can remember some of my first ever forum posts...they were on the warp forum . maybe some friends have screenshots...i'll try to find them. it was the best looking board, but this one is one of the best in the present, not just for the electronic music. i wish that serious and concrete, cretaive threads will outnumber stupid, comic and such others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, I did start out on the warp forum too. I was called zoekmijnsnor there. |
||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aye, it shall... I'll have a few surprises in store for those who missed the WARP Forum too shortly after we re-launch... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

Neither...I was the nigger on the cross. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looking forward to the site, joyrex, and i'm sure expressionengine will satisfy your needs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Indeed... finally a CMS that does what I want it to do... ecnadniarb: You'll see... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you're gonna use diff. colors for diff. artists? |
||||||||
|

What is TavCom? |

|

No, not exactly (although that would be a nice feature to add) - some people liked the threaded view of the WARPforum, and the new version of the forum software (due in mid-June) offers both flat view (like this one), a threaded view (like the WARPForum was) and a combination view. I'll just be happy to get the site back up and running, and focus on the discogs and news and articles, at long last. When are you going to start a news section Phob (or at least update the front pages' news)? The XLT discog is great (although a bit of a pain to navigate), but you need more content from aphextwin.nu here to satisfy your fans... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think what we see now here is the advanced selector |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I see... well, the discog is still a work-in-progress, but a more visual way of searching or perhaps a boolean search would be more user-friendly, especially with the huge number of entries already in the discog. Imagine being able to see all the albums from a particular year, and sort by label, artist or format - that would be awesome and truely useful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
TavCom is also a netlabel with great releases, worth checking out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as I always say: we are lucky that two great websites like these cover idm (and aphex specially) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And even better stuff on the way. I can't wait for more Wisp and Skytree releases. |

Joyrex/Phobia: what is it about expressionengine that makes it so good? I work on CMS stuff for a living, been toying with the idea of open sourcing it. Most the stuff out there currently really, really sucks :-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't tried it.... only been reading the theoritical parts - no need since tunemx coded our own CMS for this site... but it has some features not yet available for other products, like php-support etc etc - YET. i've been running newspro/coranto for many years now and I know many coders that usually help me out if I need something (perl-)specific - so therefore coranto is fine for me for other sites.... and it's free. expressionengine is like $149? |
||||||||

Gosh, where to start about EE - here's a short list of why I personally chose it to drive WATMM: 1) fully customizable templates - you can use PHP in the templates, embed templates into templates, and the EE tag language is much easier to pick up than Drupal or others. The templates are also very easy to create/customize. 2) Fully dynamic pages - by using page caching on the server, pages can be dynamic and still fast (Movable Type and other software are static and have to rebuild each time you add content) 3) Extensible addon API - Allows easy development of addons for EE, extending it's abilities. 4) User level control - my content managers will be able to submit content anytime they like, and I can control the document flow, making edits and such as I see fit, publishing them when 'cleared' for submission. 5) Price - most of EE's main features are only found in CMS software costing $$$. Sure, there are other CMSs out there that have lots of great features (Typo3 comes to mind, which I looked at but couldn't invest the time in learning it) that are free, but usually at the cost of ease-of-use and development time. Also, being a paid product, there is a higher level of support than with free apps. 6) Coranto/LNX is basically dead - I use Coranto for my client websites (as it's really easy to set up and for users to administer their sites), but support for it is dwindling, with no major revisions/enhancements coming anytime soon. |

6) Document versioning - allows me to keep several copies of a document, and revert when information is incorrect, etc. 7) It doesn't look like any other CMS - that's the #1 complaint many have with CMS software (*Nuke variants suffer from this), is all the sites made with them look similar or the same. They all have this "oh, it was made with Nuke" look to them :\ 8) Full XHTML/CSS compliance - a must nowadays if you want to code and design with standards and useability in mind. I agree, 95% of the CMS software is crap, but EE is really that good - go check them out at http://www.expressionengine.com or http://www.pmachine.com. And don't be fooled by the "Weblog" stuff - while you can use EE as a weblog, it is really a CMS and I am sure as it develops it will be marketed more as a CMS than a weblog. |
