The Blog Of Fry

Ok, where to start.

We’ve had a few small offline donations, and that has been able to get use some parts, we have got 1 set of headphones, and later this week a new hard drive for the main broadcast system, this means that Rocket Radio should be returning to air in a basic form, no luxuries yet, so we won’t have a talkback line up, nor will we have a video stream/Rocket Tv. I’m hoping to get in some test broadcasts soon, and hoping to be back on regularly just after Christmas. Also it looks like we will have a new cohost, Chris aka “River”, if you want to know more about him, visit his bio here.

Before I start don’t feel obliged, you don’t have to take part if you don’t want or can’t afford too, I’m only asking for what you can AFFORD to give. Ok, I’ll start off by saying that we accepting donations, of either money or your old unused parts.

Ok, here is our target, $280 (roughly)

or you can choice to donate you old parts, here is a list of what we are in need of.

• Motherboard and matching cpu (must be p4 ht 2.8 or above)
• 3 webcams (can’t be logitechs, as they play up with our broadcast software)
• 1 Headphones (we are after a decent pair, as it will be used for monitoring)
• 2 computer mouses/mice or whatever you call them.

I know the hard drive wasn’t on that list, but I’d much prefer to use a new drive not a second hand one.

If you have parts donations just leave a comment, and I’ll email you with address to send parts to.

We thank you all in advance for any contribution you can make, especially at this time of year, with christmas on our doorstep.

Ok, I’ve been working out, that I should be able to have Rocket Radio up and running sometime in January, that way christmas is over, so we will hopfully have some money to work on. As I said in the last post, I know you miss us, and we WILL return. It’s just that, running Rocket Radio isn’t exactly free, and it is funded entirely on my “spare change” and everynow and then we have unexpected costs, like hard drive failure, in another computer motherboard failure. And we don’t have the funding to just throw money at it and make the problem go away.

Yes Rocket Radio will be returning to air, I just can’t say definiatly when. I’ve been slowly going through things that need doing, and there is a big list, unfortunatly some of which needs money, and this time of year money isn’t exactly abundant. So please bear with us, it will eventually happen, and after a few quick fixes I’m hoping to be back on air before to long, but for that to happen, we will need to forego some luxuries, like live studio webcam feed, talkback line etc, also due to the closure of Radio Forums we will need 2 things, the first of which is a new home, which will be MCL, and second will be a shoutcast host, I’m not to sure on the shoutcast, but I’m swaying towards 2hostu.net. So all in all, bear with us, I know you guys miss the red rocket, but we aren’t dead yet!!!!
