Underground Network Alternative Communication
Mood:
 celebratory
Now Playing: Anti Flag - Underground Network Alternative Communication
Topic: heh...
Just a short message to celebrate...Last night Misprint Radio was on the air for approx 20 minutes. This was an experiment to test feasibility and hardware issues. The test went off without a hitch which makes our goal even closer than we thought... The song that was repeated in the test? All Ages, track 6 of their demo. Now we need a computer to host the station full time. IF ANYONE HAS ANY OLD EQUIPMENT TO DONATE, LET US KNOW AT misprint@gmail.com !
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

RANTECH IN DA HIZZY!!!!
Mood:
 caffeinated
Now Playing: Gregorian Chant
Topic: TECHNICAL CRAP
I just got notice from Rantech that the server is ready to go online. What does this mean? Well, the hardware is ready and able to go...all we're waiting for now is an updated web connection to allow us to operate it. (hell, it's running my house network pretty nice)
REALLY KICK ASS NEWS UPDATE THAT R0XX0RS!!!
-------------------------------------------
Through experimentation and escapism of the life he calls hell, Lt. Dan has begun to design the web broadcast. We hope to have that soon, but it will be fairly limited in scope until our bandwidth issues are solved...hell yeah! So far on the playlist...

-=MISPRINT UPDATE=-
Mood:
 on fire
Now Playing: RATM - KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Topic: News for this week...
I know that if you're reading this, you're probably thinking to yourself, "what the hell happened to those guys?!"
Never fear, we're still around. We started to work on a redesign of the site, after nearly 6months without a change and constant problems with updates, we wanted to do something truly great with an eye toward design and usability. When the redesign was finished, we realized that the banner ads and other such advertising was ruining the design. Not only did it chafe to have a bunch of corporate crap on our site, it really sucks when you have a really great design marred by a whole bunch of "punch the monkey and win an ipod" banners. So, after pricing some of the larger hosting services, we came to the conclusion that we'd be better off with our own server.
Our new server, formally a design and maintanance system, is now undergoing testing and we are shopping for an ISP that will allow us to host our own damn site.
When it's all said and done, we will only be limited by the size of our hard drives...heh.
Just so you know the specs on the server...
It's an old AMD K6 tower w over 300 megs of RAM, several hard drives, and running all Open Source Software.
Changes in the site:
--------------------
1) From this point, all news updates will be posted on this blog weekly.
2) As you can tell from the front page the site is definately going to look quite different.
3) As soon as our server is online, we will have some
video and audio to download highlighting independant artists and musicians.
In the future:
--------------
With the webserver finished and currently undergoing testing, we will soon be building a Shoutcast Server with the intent of providing streaming audio to our listeners. If you know anyone willing to donate bandwidth to our cause, please let us know.
Thanx:
------
First and foremost, I'd like to thank our readers for bearing with us.
crypto for putting up with me
punxcreature for the rhetoric (I know, it's an old handle, but it seems more fitting than anything else.)
All of the bands that have been supportive, notably, Rinker, Undividual, Tough Call, A-T-M, All Ages, thanxforn0thing, ...so does plastic, No cameras, and any others I forgot to mention...my sincerest apologies.
Our families
And of course special thanx to:
~los, kris, and Nate for helping out when times got thin.
I guess that's it for this update...peace.

THE NEW MISPRINT
Mood:
caffeinated
Now Playing: Rage Against the machine - Guerilla Radio (figures right?)
Topic: thpppppppppt!!
Well, as you can tell we're working on a new look, a new feel, and about a few dozen new things in the background. We are actually about to start getting merch that should be available just in time for the christmas season (yaaay), and remember, nothing quite says Merry Christmas like a t-shirt with a positive slogan like "Your kid has my eyes..."
We're currently in the processs of moving misprint to our own webserver, designed and constructed out of bubble gum and an old NES by the hardware junkies out of Rantech Industries. We'd also like to announce that our servers are proudly devoid of any Micro$haft software, and with any luck should be on-line approx Nov. 15 of this year. What does this mean? Well, first off, no ads, no cookies, no bs. Next, no bandwidth limits, so we can do whatever we want, put up as much video and audio as we want, which we will be doing shortly. As soon as this project is completed we will be building a shoutcast server so we can stream independant music and thought to the masses.
Again, any help is appreciated, so if you want to help, just write us at misprint@gmail.com
I'm going to get some Dew...

Now Playing: Soul erosion - 5 of 6
Topic: News for this week...
Well, here it is, an attempt at a new format for the news page. Yes, I know, it's a pretty sad day when we resort to a blog, but with the whole weirdness that has come in the past few weeks, I guess that it was only a matter of time, right.
-------------------------------------------------------
From this point on, any new articles will be published here, to the misprintproductions blog...feel free to hit it as much as you want...
