Broke 100 subscribers in 24-hour period!

April 14th, 2006

Excellent, it’s getting quite some attention (more than I’d anticipated at any rate).

I’ve broken the 100 subscriptions in a 24-hour period.  Not sure on the total subscribers though.

Sadly though, there doesn’t seem to be a similar level of activity on the web site. Just downloads via the feed. :(

Still, it’s better than my first estimates.

Older Amigas Needed (Donations Please)

April 13th, 2006

I’ve already come across a couple of demos that haven’t exactly played very well when it comes to running on an A1200.

Whilst I have an A600 (on loan) I’m not going to be able to run all the demos on even that, especially some of the very stubborn A500 demos there are out there.

This will also be even more of a problem for some of the games as I know there are plenty that flat refuse to run on anything other than an A500.

So I’m putting a shout out for donations (buttons at the top of the page), whatever you can spare, it’ll all help me bring you the best in Amiga Games/Demos in the future.

Thanks in advance,
Terry

Where are you from?

April 13th, 2006

To get a better idea of how many subscribers I have and where they are from I’ve set up an group on Frappr.

Please head over to the Amiga Demo Podcast Frappr Group and press in a pushpin.

Cheers.

NEW Theme for the site!

April 12th, 2006

I’ve spent some time creating a new theme for the site.  Didn’t like the old fixed-width one I had before.  On screens bigger than 1024 wide it looked really appauling (too much waste).  So I did this variable width theme, and added just a splash of “Amiga-ness” about it too.

Click here to see my 404 (page not found) error, rather a nice touch :D

Let me know what you think of the new theme either as a comment to this post, or preferably in the forums.  Cheers

NEW Amiga “Game Intro” Podcast coming soon.

April 12th, 2006

From scouting round the various forums that my site is mentioned, there has been quite a few people hoping for a “Game Intro” podcast.

Seeing as my host (Servage) has kindly tripled my disk space and added an extra 50GB onto my monthly bandwidth I thought this would be an apt time to begin the Game Intro Podcast for all those people who desire such a thing.

I will be making a completely separate feed available, so that the Games/Demos can remain separate…watch this space.

New Demo out tomorrow

April 8th, 2006

Been having a few issues with the capturing of the video (got to redo it).

So it has been delayed for 24 hours. Sorry

A Note on the Vote

April 2nd, 2006

A lot of people wanted to see some of the other demos that didn’t win the previous votes, so I thought I would put some of the more noticeable losers from the previous votes in to this weeks vote.

Also, I’m thinking of doing a vote where users can add their own demo to vote for, let me know what you’d think to that (via the comments to this post).

Trimmed down Podcast RSS Feed

March 19th, 2006

I’ve trimmed down the RSS feeds to only include the ALL podcast episodes rather than all the random posts that are made.

From time-to-time the occasional PDF may be included. But basically, you should only see the pertinent information in the RSS feed from now on.

You don’t need to do anything special, as it will update everything automatically.

Thanks for your patience.

Subscribing to the DivX feed through iTunes

March 16th, 2006

I have had a few queries on this, so I thought I’d post it here.

You can subscribe through iTunes, just select the relevant URL minus the preceeding protocol (i.e. “http://”, “feed://”) and select the “Podcast” section in iTunes and then select “Subscribe to Podcast…” (maybe feed) from the “Advanced Menu” and put the URL to the feed in there.

Update: iTunes cannot handle DivX feeds though, so it’s a bit pointless really.

Voting without Registration

March 15th, 2006

You can now vote without the need to register. Just visit the main page and make your selection.

http://www.amigademopodcast.com

I was hoping that registering wouldn’t be too much of a hinderance, but I guess history has proved otherwise. Anyway please vote, you will need to recast your vote if you already voted the old way. Sorry for the inconvenience.
