Newsgroup

Sounds like a solid plan.

@Jaap I like the help pop-up thingy. Very nice, yes? :)

About the cable: haven’t had a chance to get one yet. But since a new cable does not guarantee solution to the problem of no reception, stealing my moms Digitenne box will :D I’ll be done with work today at 7pm, so I’ll go over there this evening and call you as soon as I have acquired the package :)

Spend the weekend writing tests but I couldn’t help myself and also made some other updates to the code base.

The old UEH CD is now pimped in the sidebar. It’s still available through Discogs so I figured… why not? Also added two more links while I was at it.

Furthermore, there’s some help text if you focus the email input and the message text area. It only works if you use Firefox (tested with 3) or Opera (tested 9.27). I might do some scripting later on to make it work in IE7 and the WebKit family of browsers.

Speaking of browser support, I decided that IE6 would be better of without styling. If you still use IE… consider what I said before in this message.

Daan> Got that new cable yet? We sure need to be able to watch those election results :D.

556a> I’m doing this mainly, but I guess I’ve explained that more then enough. Music wise I haven’t produced anything in a long while, really want to get producing some sounds again, but right now I’m preoccupied with programming.

But I’m interested as well… I know what most of the Dutch guys are doing these days, but I have no idea what you Aussies and others are up to.

All hail the United Elements of Hate!

Sup Jaap :) I know it took a bit long to write anything back, but your feed has the least updates of all the subscriptions in my Google Reader. So if you’d update like 8 or 9 times each day you’ll get my attention…

Peace out

UEH brings back some memories.

whats cunts doin with themselves?

Arnout> I still got the Worm picture book, I rediscovered it when I was moving. Are you still interested or have you got your own copy now?

João> Can you retract your deletion request for this release on Discogs? I think I made a pretty convincing argument as for why to keep it. I even confused the other guy (Josephschembri).

Allright, nice to see you guys drop by so spontaneously :-P.

João asked me in a MySpace message what the plans are for UEH. I will answer him here as more of you might be asking the same question.

I wrote down the long term goals of the United Elements of Hate a long time ago. The UEH project was one of the products I graduated on so I documented a bunch of stuff I could be graded on. Very useful as most of it still holds true.

I plan the United Elements of Hate to become a place on the web where artists can publish their material within a network of other like minded artists. Hereby allowing them to reach a bigger audience than they would be able to attract alone. UEH strives to be a community of artists, DJ’s and performers, music enthusiasts, promoters, publishers and whatnot. All of whom will have their own benefits met by coming to UEH.

Now this is an ambitious goal and I made the mistake of taking it all on at once before. So this time I will not take the monolithic approach, as I’m building this on my own and it’s too daunting to take on everything at once. Instead I will build new features more gradually so I can keep oversight and be more agile.

Like I said in the very first posts I decided on rebuilding the newsgroup first. I feel that communication is one of the most important aspects to building a proper community.

Yesterday I made my way across MySpace, Discogs and some other websites contacting you guys. E-Mail, social websites and instant messaging, it’s all great but it a pushy and very direct way of contacting people. This newsgroup is more a pull kind of medium, just post a message and other people might see it. I believe we all share some of the same interests and this newsgroup is a great way of sharing these things.

That’s also why the next planned feature of this site is a special way of posting events. The UEH newsgroup has always been used to promote upcoming events and it’s something I want to facilitate even more. But before I start on building new features I want to get the test coverage up on the code I’ve already written.

As my previous messages show I’m a bit long-winded so I’ll cut myself off right here. If you got any more questions I’m more than willing to answer them, I’m also happy to take suggestions.

thanks for the linkage :)

stoned

nostalgic!

Just to let you know I’m still alive. :)

I just shot of some messages to some of the people that used to frequent the UEH Newsgroup. This thing died nearly 3 years ago and I want to get things back up and running. Check the previous messages to get a feel of how things have progressed since I picked this thing up again.

If you are here because I invited you, please leave a message and come back often to see where things are moving. The plan is to get UEH up and running fully, not only the newsgroup.

I know some of you are still making music, some even performing semi-regularly. I believe there must be some interest in getting together on the web.

A small subset of html can now be used inside these messages. This means posting things with a little markup, images and even youtube clips is possible!
