Episode 155: Hajime the Chaos

I am going to call this week’s episode the miracle episode. I call it this because it was the episode that almost didn’t happen. Ichigo let me know that he needed me to do the show cause he was going to be busy this last weekend, well that is normally all good and fine, except this time I was chillin with a 102 fever and a case of strep throat. Throw on top of that, that I accepted a new job, and then the icing on the cake the site goes down and this time it wasn’t getting back up before the 10 count. Ichigo really broke it this time, oh sure he claims it was the hosting company, but we all know Ichigo broke it. So with the site down, well the server, there was no email, couldn’t send out the email for the recording. We managed to get around that, I got better another hurtle cleared. Hell I even got Tim and Weltall on the show too. So with out further ado, the miracle on anime st. episode 155, go listen and enjoy.

So… the site was down for a few days

Hi everybody, let me start off by saying that it’s good to be back, and even better that I don’t have to try and reconstruct any data.

So on the 6th I got this email from our hosting company

We will be performing a hardware upgrade on all of our nodes in our current Dallas location on Friday November 7, 2008. The upgrade window will take place from 1:00AM-3:00AM EST. During this time your server will be unavailable for up to 45 minutes.

I didn’t think anything of it until I noticed that the server was down when I checked at 9 AM Friday. I sent a support ticket and they told me that upon restart of the server (note that we’re on a VPS on a very, very large RAID array) it required a fsck.

Episode 153: Bloody Previews… That doesn't sound rig-Deta! Falcon!

This week we somehow manage to actually record a show, with massive amounts of interference in the tubes as well as our computers hating us. But here it is. We discuss health care in Japan, how sufficiently advanced technology is indifferentiable from magic, review the new drama series Bloody Monday, give previews of the shows Hokuto no Ken Raoh Gaiden: Ten no Haoh, Hakushaku to Yousei, Casshern SINS, Yozakura Quartet, Ga-Rei -Zero-, Inazuma Eleven and then round out the show with a update on a long neglected (for good reason) series. So buckle up and prepare for a great show.

Sorry no episode this week.

Sorry everyone, there wont be an episode this week. Ichigo had to work so I was taking the reins for a solo gig, but managed to get sick a before the show. Long story short by the time I had finished recording the O show my voice had given out. Everything will be back on track this weekend though for the next exciting episode of Anime Pulse.
