Started the broadcast at the usual time, not a whole lot of traffic this week, hardly anyone stopping by not even the regulars.
That and after a rough day (what else is new) at my regular job I just wasn't feeling up to an entire show so I cut it short and relaxed.
Will try to do another show sometime this week when I feel more like broadcasting. Was really phoning it in last night leaving the playlist up as a slideshow so I wouldn't even have to break in. Would be a great option if I ever get the 24/7 broadcast up and running, not so much for what was supposed to have been a live show.
Need to commit to a different night, Sunday's just aren't doing it for either me or the show.

24/7 Streaming Server Update
There really isn't an update, while I've been playing around with this thing I haven't found a way to make it work.
I've been mulling over a plan B. This computer came into life as an HP. It boots to Linux just fine although slow and it does work. I have a previous generation HP laying around that has a fried power supply that should still have some good working parts so what I might do is install this computers hard drive (which was Windows ME, yuck) and any RAM that might fit, and see what happens. It could work or it could be a waste of time but in any case extra RAM can't hurt.
We'll see I guess, stay tuned.

New Show Coming Soon
Just as a heads up to my regular blog readers, while I will mention other internet shows and projects that I'll be working on, this page will remain primarily for Indie Spotlight. The other shows will have their own places (I'm thinking FB pages).
Ok now that I've gotten the disclaimer out of the way, here is my latest show idea. It's going to be called "The Crazy Cat Guy". The main premise of the show will be things that cat owners (or servants) should be aware of, issues of the day, ect. Think of my old NewsTalk format but with a focus on responsible pet ownership.
I'm thinking that I might use iVlog for this project, date and time to be determined.
Stay tuned.

Then... They Broke it.
Justcastlive (formerly justcast.org) is transitioning to their new URL this weekend, and as you might have guessed, managed to break the site.
I know the guys are working feverishly to get it back online, hopefully it'll be fixed by tomorrow night :)

Happy First Post of 2015!
Good morning blogger readers! Due to an early meeting this morning I decided yesterday to extend my hiatus to another week. To be honest about it looking at the statcounter reports this morning I wasn't missed so maybe not a bad thing.
I posted to our FB group about a week ago a poll, basically asking what night would be better for the broadcast. Right now we have one vote, for Friday.
So....
Since I didn't get to do last night's broadcast I'm thinking I might play around over the next couple of days and just see when we draw more people in and see where it goes.

My Annual New Years Eve Post
As 2014 comes to a close I wanted to wish every a happy and safe New Year. Hopefully it will be a better one for all of us!
I've decided that Indie Spotlight will remain on Sunday nights for now, with an additional show on another night as well, both of these will be broadcasted on our justcast.org page.
Concerning some of the other internet projects that I've been planning for the coming year, many if not all of these are still in the planning stage. The content of the new shows will determine the broadcasting home of these so watch this space for updates on them soon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Show updates,
As noted above, we will continue the Sunday night format starting at 9:15. The first broadcast of the new year will be this coming Sunday (yeah I know, short break).

Final Show of 2014 Tonight!
Hey as the host I can change my mind....lol
I know I originally said that I wasn't taking a holiday break, but to be honest the show traffic isn't there, we are in our usual holiday slump so I might as well take a break.
What's coming in the new year? I haven't decided yet. On one hand I can stick with Sunday nights and as one of the chatters that popped into chat last week "stick with it and build my brand" on the flip side, the discussion on Facebook clearly points in the other direction.
We'll return to the airwaves in January 2015, that's a promise. Watch this space as well as our group on Facebook as to the new date and time.
Thank you all for your continued support, have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
