Can you believe this actually starts this week? Here at WRR we are getting pretty excited as you can imagine. Hopefully we’ll be able to share most of that excitement with you as well!
Before going further, do make sure you have registered for the MTTS event you are going to be attending. Besides saving $10, you will get a bag of swag for sure and the proceedes go to local charities. Win-win in my book!
Now, to keep up with all of the action.
- All photos will be on my Flickr, in the MTTS 2008 Flickr group and on Todd’s Flickr
- All videos will be posted to Whiteroof.tv for download and Vidder to watch
- Updates, as they happen, will come from Twitter, including when we broadcast live via uStream.tv
- All audio will, of course, be up on WRR for download with a player on Motoringfile.com.
To make things easier, I have set up a special RSS feed (actually it’s ATOM, but it will work in any reader) that will aggregate Twitter, Flickr, WRR and WR.tv. You can subscribe to that here.
I have already posted our possible live schedule here in case you missed it. Keep in mind that this is very tentative and is very much subject to change. This is where twitter will come in handy to keep up-to-date should things change.
Stay tuned! things are just getting warmed up!
The server that hosts WRR has been a bit unstable this week as I’m sure you have noticed. Yesterday there was a hard drive problem that took about 16 hour to repair and this morning the server had to go through at least 1 reboot to correct a problem with the database server.
For now it would appear, normal service has resumed.
MTTS updates and details to follow shortly!
It’s been a very long time since we last did this, but Gabe, myself and Todd will be getting together tonight at 7:00PM PST to talk about MINI stuff like we like to do. Best part is we will be live via uStream.tv and sharing it with you here and at Motoringfile.com.
So check back! Thursday at 7PST/9CST/10EST!
Well, not so much a problem as it is me forgetting to set the correct show file.
If you got Woofcast #220 instead of #235, in iTunes, delete what you have for #235 and update the podcast. That should get you going again.
Sorry for the mixup.
Update
The feed is updated with the correct file and I have pinged iTunes, but it would appear that it is still downloading 220. Your patience is appreciated while this is getting sorted out and again, sorry for the mixup.
WRR.com is now iPhone/iPod touch friendly.
I did notice, however, that it only grabs the excerpts and you need to click more to get to the actual show.
Oh yea, and the flash player doesn’t work. But I’m sure all y’all knew that already ;).
Enjoy! Woofcast will be posted later tonight!
WhiteRoof.tv! Check it!
Again that is WhiteRoof.tv. You can go on over and sign up for email updates or subscribe to the feed. I expect to have the site done before the end of the week as well as the feed in iTunes.
Stay tuned…
Have you seen the Flip video camera? Little guy, about the size of an iPod Classic, shoots an hour of VGA Video and costs about $150? Well, besides WRR listener and all around good guy Josh picking one up, so did Robert in Toronto.
Go Team Gold!
It’s been a little bit since we have done one of these, and we’re still working out a schedule. But we will be live via uStream.tv tonight. Check back around 7PM PST/9PM PST/10PM EST to listen!
I’m noticing that some of you are going back through the archives to check out our MTTS coverage from 2006. Excellent! Makes me excited about what MINI might have in store for us for this year.
To make it easier for you to check out that coverage, I’ve gone back and installed the flash audio player on all of those posts, which you can find here.
Comments are still open on those posts as well, so feel free to leave any feedback or questions you might have. As long as you don’t ask about what’s going on in ‘08. We still only know as much as you and that is 4 events spread out across the US. But as soon as we know more, you’ll know. Well, more like as soon as we know you’ll know as soon as we are allowed to pass it along ;).
Where is Woof 211?
It all started last week. Todd and I had the best of intentions and actually got together on our normal night to record it. It was going well until my Skype, yet again, started acting up. But I was also recording.
So, yea. For Woofcast 211 we are taking a mulligan. It wasn’t anything anyway, just a bit of filler.
Can I recommend a trip through the Archives? Perhaps go back and listen to such classics as Woof 21, Woof 64 or the new classic, Woof 199. Or, take advantage of this time to get caught up on the last few shows that you might have missed.
We have big plans for 2008! Coverage from AMVIV, The Dragon, MINI Takes the States and whatever else we can find. Plus, more live shows!
Thanks for stopping by, listening and sharing us with your friends! And thank you for your patience during the holidays with our spotty show schedule. We will be back on track before you know it!
Over the next week I will be making a few more tweaks to the site, so things might seem a little weird.
I’m not happy with the way the site loads, so I will be addressing that. I will also be getting the poll to work correctly (I have temporarily removed it). I will also be doing a few things on the server that you won’t/shouldn’t notice.
Also, the voicemail line is currently out of commission. It’s one of those things that required a ‘use-it-or-lose-it’. It didn’t get used, so we lost it. I will be coming up with another way very soon. If you have seen something that you thought was cool, by all means, let us know in the comments below!
If you haven’t had the chance to check out the comment subscribe feature, I think you’ll like it. It’s very handy to keep on top of the comments via emal. Of course, you could always subscribe to the comments feed (link on the right).
One more show coming before the end of the year. I should have that up on Sunday.
Have a great weekend everyone!
We were live Thursday night! Thanks to everyone that came by to hang out with us, it was great!
This show will be going up on Sunday, and I’ll have some Christmas music for all y’all on Monday.
Have a great Holiday everyone!
Just a quick reminder to all you guys and gals that WRR will be live tonight! 7PM Pacific, 9 Central, 10 Eastern. Check back here, Motoringfile and/or dbmini for complete details.
Like last time, we are going to be using uStream, but without the video. That means will be taking advantage of their chat room as well. If you are going to want to join us, you will need an account, but it’s free and takes no time to set up!
I have also added a few new features to the site. Besides the redesign, I’ve added the ability to subscribe to comments and the live comment previewer. Check them out, let us know what you think!
That’s right, the boys are doing another LIVE show tonight starting at 6:00PM PST, 8:00PM CST and 9:00PM EST via TalkShoe.com.
Update…We are done and are pleased with the results. For those of you that came by to check us out, thanks! I’m sure this is something we will do in the future.
In the past we have used uStream.tv for our live shows with the comments are Motoringfile. While that worked kinda ok, it wasn’t the best solution. We are hoping that Talkshoe will better suit our needs, even tho the audio quality isn’t quite as good and there isn’t video.
To listen along at home, just follow the links to our page on TalkShoe and click Listen Now. No need to sign up or anything. However, if you want to join us in the chat room or possibly have the chance to call in, you will need a free account. It only takes a minute and I think the added benefits are definitely worth it!
We’ll talk to all y’all later tonight!
The show is over and it went very well. There is a very good chance we will repeat this again. Watch this space for a regular schedule.
It’s on! Check it out!
Tonight (Thursday) around 10pm EST (GMT -5) we’ll again be broadcasting the Whiteroofradio Podcast live on MotoringFile. Check MF just before 10pm EST (9pm CST/8pm MST/7pm PST/-6 GMT) for a post with our video feeds and a place to comment and ask questions during the show. That’s right, we’ll be answering your questions in the 2nd of the two podcasts this evening.
Tonight is fairly special too. August 1st marked out 2nd year doing White Roof Radio! So we will also be revisiting some of the highlights of the past year. It should be fun!
