Afterlife of this blog
You are reading a defunct weblog. This weblog was created to stand in for the Webjay.org web site when it was totalled by a cracker. During that time the webjay.org domain forwarded to here, where users could get news about progress towards reopening the site.
But no longer.
If you are reading this, you must not have gone through the forwarding address. In that case, there is no here here.

BACK FROM THE DEAD -jay
We're flipping the switch to put Webjay back online. It will take about a half day for the change to reach every ISP, so if you see this page instead of webjay.org, stop back in a little while.
In the meantime, let's celebrate:

Re-opening Monday
The code is good to go, so the next thing is a couple days worth of security work.
Grand re-opening date: Monday.

Starfrosch playlist
Markus Koller's hand-made M3U (hosted on gonze.com/playlists per my offer the other day) is rocking my apartment block. Markus, my neighbors are cursing you as I write this.
Doing it by hand is primitive but fun. Any more?
Update #1: Brett, aka webjaybs, posted more handmade playlists here:
Update #2: Actually, there's no need to email me the list of song URLs. Just post them in a comment and I'll make an M3U.

Testers wanted
Almost everything is now running, and the bugs are getting smaller and smaller, so it's time to bring in more eyeballs. There are two criteria for people who want to do testing:
1) You have to be technical enough to convince your machine that webjay.org is on the IP address I will give you. On a Unix box this means editing /etc/hosts, on a Mac it means using NetInfo, on a Windows machine it means something I don't know.
2) You have to be known to me already, since the new layer of security isn't ready yet.
Send an email to lucas@gonze.com. (webjay.org email isn't up yet.)

Rosie the 'lister says...
Courtesy P. Harper: 
Lemme tell you, I'm cursing like a sailor while I work on the rebuild. Anyway, if you're really jonesing there is a thing you can do. Back before webjay bootstrapped, Brett, Jim and myself were making playlists manually. What you do is make a file entitled playlistname.m3u with a bunch of URLs of songs in it, then put the file in a directory which is set up with the right mime types. gonze.com/playlists was set up for this, and it still is, so if you email me a .m3u file I'll copy it over there and post a pointer here.
For historical interest, the first really good playlist was Work, which you can still see (and maybe even listen to).

Knock knock
Our friend from Brazil came knocking again. In the log of denied IP
addresses we have these:
What a creepy experience. It's like hearing noises in the night and
knowing for a fact that it's a burglar.
addresses we have these:
200.175.27.55.dialup.gvt.net.br
