"Compiling a Network" - officially a meta-label...(?)

After a couple of years of on-and-off external suggestions (and pressure) -
"Compiling a Network" is now officially a meta-label on sonicsquirrel.net...!

Link: http://sonicsquirrel.net/detail/label/Compiling_a_Network/1554/

That's right, all of the sets from both the "Compiling a Network"- and the
"dee3 | datamixes"-series are all gathered together and are now available
from here (too)!

So does this mean that I'll henceforth be ditching my previous hosting-service
at archive.org?

No (and yes), as all previous and future sets will also (still) be available from
archive.org, but TBH I'm sort of fed up with some the apparently recurring technical-
issues that archive.org subject themselves to, which at the end of the day will give you,
the user, a less than positive experience - sluggish/slow transfer-rates and occasional
broken links come to mind...

Anyways, and from now on, all file-formats from both the "Compiling a Network"-
and the "dee3 | datamixes"-series will still be available from archive.org,
but as for the mp3-files, which appear as enclosures on these two mix-series'
podcast- and RSS-feeds, all of these will from now on be hosted at - and delivered
from - sonicsquirrel.net.

Another major, noticeable change is that both mix-series' podcast-and RSS-feeds have
not only been updated and slimmed down, they are now both powered by delicious'
RSS-feed capabilties and "dressed up" with the services provided by Google's Feedburner
(something which I earlier have written about); there are many reasons behind this somewhat
radical move, but at the end of the day, all of this is for the better for all parties involved - and especially for you (the user), too.

It's now very late - so I'll be signing off for now, thanks for reading this...

"Before I was so rudely interupted"...

No, this is not a blog-post about the first mp3-file that I ever bought
(and BTW - I've also got Dave Clarke's tune as a 12" too, so settle down...)!

I'm well aware of my lengthy hiatus from this blog, but this is due to the fact
that I've been quite busy with work (and I actually still am, too) plus some other
factors that can probably best be categorized and filed under: "Life got in the way"!

That being written and said, I have actually seen all of the various comments
(i.e.: questions) that've been posted, and I will reply to all of these A.S.A.P.
and in a very near foreseeable future, too...!

Before I wrap this post up, I'd like to take the opportunity to apologize to those of you,
whom have posted comments and might've felt ignored in some manner or fashion,
due to my lack of reply.

As I wrote: replies are (soon) on their way...

Thanks for reading this,
