CAPPUCINOS AND CAMP FREDDY
So the new coffee maker is enabling me to stay ridiculously JACKED up on caffeine for most of the day. I figured out the frothy milk bit, and set myself right back on the whole diet thing!! Now, I am knocking up triple shot espresso's every ten minutes and steaming jugs of milk to get the foam. Throw a couple of sugars in there (why not!) and its miles from the medium drip I had weened myself down to from those Gingerbread Lattes I used to drink. Whatever - life's only here once right?
An all new CFR tonight with Dave and myself. VERY glad to be going back in to the studio - I missed the last couple of weeks, so I will be doing a great playlist, and preparing myself for a couple of hours with Mr Navarro ..... the laughter muscles get a good work out with that guy!
The site has been having another weird day or so, as poor old Allison attempts to make sense of the Flash files I have been creating. I now have a few Macs, and a PC here at my house, so I am able to check how things look on different machines. And we still have a few errors here and there. I believe that the banner at the top of the main blog page is now behaving correctly. But the main index page, with the flower, still has some kinks. All the links to the different sites should go to "Coming Soon" Flash pages, but they dont appear to be behaving right now. But I am sure we'll have it sorted out after the weekend. I also notice that the Radio page now has an MP3 player on it. But we need to center everything and tidy it all up. But at least the songs are available easily for you guys. As before - be patient with us and we'll get it all happening eventually. The drive with all the video on it actually died for good - without a back up!! So I am presented with the gargantuan task of going through over 100 tapes, and logging and capturing all the good footage again! But what that means is I will be able to get the TV page happening soon as well. I suppose all this keeps me off the streets and out of trouble........ well, off the streets anyway!
Immediately after posting about the I-Pod Nano, I got the news about the new Video I-Pod. Oh my God - thats it!! I have decided to wait until they arrive in the stores and go for the 60gig, instead of getting a Nano. The new ones come in black (like the Nano) and can store 150 hours of video, downloaded directly from I-Tunes. Pure Genius. I downloaded an episode of Nightstalker, just to check it out, and realized that I am so in trouble now! With the I-Pod loaded with MP3's and TV shows, and a PSP loaded with games, I could travel around the world and be completely self immersed, not speaking to anyone!!! Toys .... gimme more toys!!!!
OK. I know I am rambling today, but thats allowed. Nothing much going on until the two CF shows next week. Which means I have spent way too much time tweaking around the various computers in my place. So I am gonna sign out now and spend the day playing guitar (learning the new songs for next weeks shows) and going over the hill to look at some cars for Jen. NO MORE SCREENS today, Mr Morrison. Hope you all have a great weekend, and tune in to CFR if you can tonight.
Peace
Billy

Looking forward to a fun evening of CFR. I'm ready for a bit of "me" time after catering to everyone else all week. You guys are one of those selfish indulgences that I absolutely adore!! Perhaps I'll even call in tonight.

Video iPod? Maybe there's something wrong with me (ok, something ELSE wrong with me) but I don't get it. Why would anyone want to pay to watch video the size of a postage stamp? How is a girl supposed to enjoy Lost on a miniature screen? How would one know what the new Dharma symbol is if it's the size of the head of a pin? How could I tell whose picture was on the milk carton Hurley was chugging from? Is that REALLY the best way to ogle a tanned, sweaty, shirtless Josh Holloway? Absolutely not! And NightStalker? Shame, shame. Mr. Townsend is too much of a doll to be relegated to small-ville. (Although you could still listen to his cute fake American accent.) And I can't even IMAGINE watching a video by a band of currently-frozen British blokes. "Oh look, the tiny windmills. They're soo...CUTE!" And they expect me to PAY for this? No thanks. It's visual media. Allow me actually visualize it!Sometimes size really does matter.
Oops. Rant. Sorry.

My god don't go for the video Ipod dude.
What you want... is at
www.archos.com
I have the gmini400 (predecessor to the 402 "camcorder" version on the website) and it rules HARD. Archos were the people who invented hard disk MP3 players (about 7-8 years ago) and who were first on the block with video players too.
Check out the av700 (7 inch screen) or 500 (4 inch) which also act as mini-tivo type things, have up to 100gigs of storage (450 hours of video to the ipod's 150) and also ahve camcorder attatchments. Oh and you can hook up other USB devices like cameras and keys and it'll read them.

Billy, the live webcast was great. Did Dave tell you before you got to Indie that he was doing a live webcast, or did he surprise you? You two were so cute. I'm in love. (ahhhhhhh)

congrats on the first ever
homo erotic camp freddy godzilla movie style broadcast
we were highly entertained
beg mister steele to not repeat ozzy or carmen..
the billy and billy musical history show was a good one.
Posted by: sonicgeisha at October 15, 2005 08:50 PM
Yes, please ask TK to repeat the Billy and Billy "history" show. It was a great show. We just heard the Carmen and Dave one.
I'm bummed (lol) I didn't get the live webcast going until around 2:30 or 2:45 my time, I heard what you guys were talking about, but I didn't see it. I didn't realise the live webcast was on.

Thanks for making CFR a happy, twisted (or should I say visual) "experience" this week...:P
funny as hell.... I'm not sure if you all just get bored, you don't care, both, neither or one of the above. All I know is it comes out nice and warped. Keeps me laughing well past its freshness date.
Posted by: Musemelodic at October 17, 2005 12:06 AM
Allison you rock! THANK YOU For doing a fabulous job on the site! We love it!
Posted by: Kate at October 17, 2005 08:13 AM
High there Allison......hey gurl dont sweat it......ur doin a fantabulous jobby on Billy's site.....i have 2 say i dont find it remotely annoying what ur calling inconsistency'z i call entertaining.....its rather refreshing not knowing whut 2 expekt every time i peek in here....then again im really stoned and amuse far 2 easilly......
i can only imagine the living hell ur going thru jus trying to line thingz up....i wuz pulling my hair out for 2 daze straight jus trying to decorate my myspace page.....needed a straightjakket by the time i finished.....html hurts my brain too much.....i cant even fathom how much worse it must be for you designing a whole site........
basically i jus wanted to pat u on the back and blow a lil bong-smoke ur way.........breathe deeply.....it'll be ok.......we're quite patient out here in cyberspace/fresno.......or at least i am....snicker....
az far az my input.......i have PC notta mac....and on myne its really not that jakk'd up....what was the left hand column......is now directly on top of billys post and the righthand column..............what was a small calendar.......now spans completely from left 2 right....realllly stretch'd out........and the flash banner is blank........but the outline of the box is there........and its a larger much more appropriate size compared to the super tiny sized lil flashbanner that billy made earlier in the week......
hope that helps more than confuses....
and again.......ur doin a kick-ass jobby.......stress less......U FUKN RAWK ALLISON!

HIGH BILLY.....hey man great fukn show again sat...u always have me laughin my ass off......sadly my processor couldnt both stream the cfr show & the webcast at the same time.........hell i couldnt even get a picture by itself........DOOD DID U REALLY SHOW UR PIERCED JUNK ON THE NET?.....based on TK's reaction it sounded pretty hard-core........i been piercing myself for a good 13yrs or more.....and i gotta couple "down there" az well.....currently sporting a "prince-albert" and a "frenum" piercing.....contemplating going completely thru and turning the "PA" into an "ampalling"........
dont get me wrong.......im not into cock.....jus curious whut ur sportin down there as far as piercing,gauge,and jewelry style.........TK said sumthin bout a hook........and a couple weeks back on the "Billy&Billy" show....u mentioned having multiple piercings down there that were the inspiration for the "Stimulator" band u were formally in.....
