I have created two new pages for my music projects Dyanmic Interplay (Live PA) and Readily Red (8-bit).

I should have the pages up next week. Each page will provide some more detailed information about each project and general news will continue to be posted under M.A.S. Productions here.

Well here they are. I must say however I am pretty dissappointed with the participation. Out of all the people who seemed intrested only 2, yes 2!!!!!!! particiapted. Thanks to Tonamel and Ultra for submitting some mixes. They both did a great job and I think all of the mixes also demonstrated the varied directions that one could have gone. Below are the links and the artists. I am not going to bother with a vote, but at least show some appreciation and and listen to everyone's mix.

Below are links to the page the song is on and then the direct mp3 link

The thread for the forum can be found .:Here:.

Well it appears that Blogger has a nefarious desire to inflict me with as more extraneous and repetitive programming work then I need to for this site. About 4 weeks ago I painstakingly implemented the Technorati searchlet to the site. I wrestled with code for several days to get the formatting to work just right. Then about 3 days After I implemented the code successfully Blogger released the improved Blog search through Google.

About three weeks ago I then decided to implement Haloscan for my commenting system because Blogger did not feature trackbacks and I thought Haloscan was more flexible. Needless to say Haloscan sucks. It does not have email notification for comments plus Blogger again decides to "one-up" me and implements the talkback feature, which is essentially a built in trackback using the Google Blog Search.

So I just now, by hand reinstalled the Blogger native commenting system.

I think I won't make any more changes to my blog from now on.

Every once in a while I get an email or a message from someone telling me how much they have enjoyed my work. These sorts of messages really make my day and I always make an effort to reply to those who write to me personally. The following messages I found in my .:Myspace:. inbox a few days ago.

your mixes are amazing; I've always been hugely touched by ambient/techno music, and have ventured into vocal trance/deep house, but still adore all manefestations of it. Hope you keep up the great work; good luck :)

I have made several enhancements to the site this evening. I have updated the commenting engine and added .:Haloscan:. to manage comments. It features much better tracking features as well as "Trackback".

I have also added .:Technorati:. search, indexing and more to the site. They are located on the bottom right of the page. This should help anyone who wishes to search for posts, articles or tutorials I have written more efficiently.

I have also added a favicon to the site which can be seen if you are visiting my site through the blgospot link.

I will be adding a couple of more links in the next few days.
