    G45 Disruption Ahead

    I just got a very brief but disappointing message from Xenforo support. Hi Mark, Unfortunately it does seem like the database is missing tables, or, is this a very old version of phpbb? In which case our importers are unable to import those. Regards Xenforo It's bad news for the old forum...

    G45 Disruption Ahead

    The Oracle was always half serious / half ridiculous. Much like the prices charged for 60s garage 45s. Its best feature is that the values it produces are unbiased, as long as the rarity can be agreed upon. The Artifact can be ignored if you wish. The Oracle operates perfectly well without it...

    G45 Disruption Ahead

    I contacted Xenforo and they said they were waiting for my reply to their above message. I was unaware I needed to reply, so things were just stuck in limbo. Anyway, I have now replied and given the go-ahead, and it should start happening.

    G45 Disruption Ahead

    For anyone interested, here's the exact words I used to ask Codex to write the program. Nothing else, nothing technical, just this : I have a very old home-made app that was the first and only app I have ever written. The purpose of the app is to provide users (record collectors) with dollar...

    G45 Disruption Ahead

    I still haven't heard from Xenforo. It's 2 weeks since they said the job was due. So, I'll contact them on Monday to find out how it's progeressing. Meanwhile, feeling in a technical mood, I downloaded the OpenAI Codex app (which I never used until today), and used it to completely redesign the...

    The most amazing thing about the box set is that the best take is always the last take. They achieved perfection for each song and then just stopped.

    YouTube Discoveries

    No I don't have it. I didn't even know it exists. I stopped buying the Stooges in the mid 1980s. I did buy the complete Funhouse box set, whenever that came out. But that was the last one. In the right mood I still like them as much as ever, but 60s garage just completely took over for me. It's...

    I don't know if this is just an improved version of something old? Anyway I thought it was pretty cool, and 50 years ago I would have killed to see something like this. Best blasted as loud as bearable.

    G45 Disruption Ahead

    I rescued the Old G45Central forum from archive oblivion a few days ago. I gave the restoration job to the team who hosts the current forum at Xenforo. I was not too sure how they would handle importing the old data, but I have just found out. Here is exactly what I know : Hi Mark, I will look...

    Bytes From The Grave?

    I have managed to retrieve to old G45 Forum database that started around 2006 (guess). Might have been a bit later, but roughly 20 years ago. All I need to do now is get Xenforo to migrate it into this forum. Which they can do. Here's a completely random screenshot of part of the data which...

    Unidentified acetate from TBM

    Yes mostly. They are fakes if they appear on the back covers of the 4 volume Norton garage acetate series. Some others are real, for example the Method acetate.
