Sorry about all the netsplits lately, it would appear that the
internet tubes are clogged with delicious creme filling.
NO I DIDN'T DO IT!!

Taphouse Rising
Had a little trouble with our DNS yesterday - which meant that no one
could connect. It's all fixed now. The trouble yesterday highlighted
the folly of using DNS servers in several cities all subject to
hurricanes....oh well. Now I am in the process of getting a whole
bunch of new DNS servers all over the place. What this means to
you is that what happened last night, WONT happen again.

New Taphouse Server!
Welcome to sockem.taphouse.org run by Scalpod, the latest IRC server to join the Taphouse Cabal network. Located in Portland, this server is open for business and should give our west coast subgenii a server closer to their neck of the woods.

Hotep regains balance in the Kernel
All done now - if you blinked, you missed it. Stay tuned for more exciting server rebooting news, from your Action Taphouse News team!
Son of Hotep Server Maintenance
As if one kernel update were not enough, Ubuntu got it borked up and had to release another. Therefore, at 23:00 GMT (6:00pm EST) on 16 Feb 08, we're gonna do it again. You'll want to switch servers this time, it might take a while. Frop and Fester are accessible through the round robin (i.e. irc.taphouse.org).

02/10/07 - Hotep down for server maintenance
hotep.taphouse.org, one of your friendly Taphouse irc servers, will be taken down briefly at Noon EST on Sunday, 02 Feb 07, for kernel buffing and waxing. That is all.

Alien Arena is no more....
Sadly, a lack of players has meant that
the alien arena server is dead.
If at a later date anyone wants to play,
it will be on an "on demand" basis.
i.e. when you want to play, just ask me,
and I will turn it on.

Youtube is a Virus
Ok, so I finally updated this blog to be more in line with our new google overlords, and what do you know, there is a video widget that you can put on the page that will search for videos with the parameters that you specify and put up some thumbnails for people to click on and open the videos, RIGHT ON THE BLOG!
NO!! YES!!! YOU CAN CONSTANTLY MONITOR VIDEOS FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE NOW!!! ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC???
Along with the idea that the invention of printing press didn't give us 1000 Shakespeare's, youtube will NOT give us even 1 Orson Welles'. Witnessing the drama that goes on amongst the so called 'vloggers' over there, it might very well give us a couple dozen reasons to go on a killing spree or pray for a speedy pandemic.
Don't get me wrong: I love humanity...(conceptually and at a distance) However up close and personal, this 'love' tends to fade pretty fucking QUICKLY. Because of this, I stay AWAY from my fellow human beings so that I can "keep the love alive." With the advances in 'communication' now available from the internet, this great thing I do for all of humanity (staying away from them so I don't kill them) is in greater and greater jeopardy each and every day.
At least those of us with lawn chairs set up on the cliff to watch the
lemmings fulfill their destiny, now have full video coverage as well.
enjoy ur embedded video.

Urgent Magdalen News
Earlier posts about this story, HERE
and HERE
To make a long story short, recently, after a very prolonged and difficult struggle, Rev. Magdalen won back custody of her child... only to have it again denied BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN SEE HIM by an "emergency stay order." This means that now the case must go to a higher court -- which is good, because it will be FIVE judges who aren't just yokels from that same small town, who managed to get themselves elected as family court judges. There is a good chance that, when the case is seen by educated people, Magdalen will regain full custody of her son.
One of the nightmarish aspects of this, however, is that, because the biological father supposedly has "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome," he has never had to work and is a trailer-court welfare case. This means that the state pays for his lawyers! But because the Bevilacquas each work the equivalent of two jobs, they have to PAY for their lawyers.
And they have to pay a new, DIFFERENT lawyer to handle the higher appellate court case.
Your help is needed NOW!!
A pledge page has been set up here:
Also if you still haven't bought a goat shirt.
you can do so HERE
$8.10 is donated for EVERY SINGLE shirt sold...
Please help if you can.

Upgrades to Taphouse
Ok, as Nigel mentioned in the previous post we are currently upgrading ALL of the servers AND the services packages on Taphouse over the next week or so.
We will make this as painless as possible. It is important to use the round-robin connection: IRC.TAPHOUSE.ORG as we will move servers out of the round-robin that are being upgraded and back in once the upgrades are complete.
Some of these upgrades are already complete: Fester has already upgraded.
Also there is a new statistics package that you can access HERE.
Thank you for your patience.

New server news!
In the tradition of letting the cat out of the bag well ahead of it's time, i'd like to announce that Taphouse has grown a tiny bit recently. This is due mostly to the addition of a new server, whose tentative name is mwowm.taphouse.org . At the moment, it's just acting as a testing server for our fancy-pants new webpages, but in the future, it'll be running unreal and serving up some music via icecast.
Stay tuned for more info!

New forum is up.
Yes, the thing that we didn't even know we were gonna do, is now done.
A new FORUM is up and running!
Something else for IRC users to abuse in their off-time.
HERE!
Oh and rumor has it that our website is going to get
a major overhaul. But you didn't hear it from me.

Nothing to see here.
Recently it has come to my attention that an imaginary letter from mostly imaginary people was posted here.We have received no such letter, nor do we care what any imagined missive, contained. We will not be a clearing house for 'My Pretty Pony' merchandise.
That is all.

Taphouse Radio
Okay!
Last friday (the 21st) i decided on the spur of the moment to try and test out a server for a radio show. Unfortunately, it worked. Worse than that, though, it caught on! All of a sudden everyone wanted to connect to the server i'd set up, and broadcast their own show.
So, with that having sgone smoothly, i'm pleased to announce that:
TAPHOUSE RADIO IS ON THE AIR
With special guest DJ's from across the country, and beyond! Here's a preliminary schedule of what today's going to look like: (it's 2 now so we'll start here with 2pm)
ALL TIMES ARE EDT (GMT -5, i think)
2:00 - 3:00 Ankara's Mix
3:00 - 5:00 Vertigo's Post-Rock Funtime Jams
5:00 - 7:00 Twobeans' Repetitive Jewish NiggerMusic Show
7:00 - 9:00 Rev. Dr. Lon & Dr. FUCKFACE fight for airtime
9:00 - 10:00 Simulcast of the Hour of Slack
10:00 - 12:00 Rev Otto's Phone-A-Fiend
More updates coming soon...

Boing Boing!
Looks like we got some help from the kind folks at boing-boing to get some money raised to help magdalen. So far we've added another 30 orders to our previous... 4.
Bringing our total orders up to 34!
if you do some quick math, you see that we've almsot paid for an entire hour of lawyering! Man, lawyers are expensive. But for those of you who don't donate (and donate well), i think the Rev Nickie Deathchick said it best.
"You're NEXT!"
Something to think about. That's why we're doing all of this, so that things like this won't happen again. so that no one else will have to lose custody of their child for having beliefs that other people don't share, or for participating in something so "out there" that they just don't get it. It's a performance, it's art, it's funny.
I just got back from XDay, and i laughed my ass off most of the time i was there.
So go get a shirt!
Because it's FUNNY.

Final Score: Saucers, 0; SubGenius, Slack
Well, no saucers again, but the Taphouse Cabal returns from another slackful celebration, ready to wait out another year. Fun was had, substances were shared, and sleep was occasionally present. To those of us to those of you, thanks for not beating on the oil drum - Joy really appreciated that. To all the others, thanks for coming by and introducing yourselves. We'll try to keep the party going here on the servers for as long as we can pay attention. Oh, and the "Why a Goat?" shirts look pretty darned good. Go get one!
