Bob's Chat
Sunrise over NW Australia
Well, greetings from Perth, Western Australia. I arrived back here yesterday morning and have been flat out shopping and cleaning. Also it was a night flight from Bangkok to Perth and I just can't sleep sitting up on a plane, so I missed out of Friday night's sleep. Last night however (Saturday), after a few beers, I had the most wonderful night's sleep.
A few people have asked me what happened with The Basement/Buzzment. When I first set it up many moons ago the idea was for it to be a simple chatbox or comment page, like many other blogs have, where you can make requests and post links to albums you wish to share with others. However, it soon morphed into a whole new blog, which I had very little involvement in as I already have my own blog. But, last week it all came to an end as the team who were running it decided to move on to other things. They did an excellent job and shared lots of interesting things with us. I certainly picked up a few albums for my own collection. So I'd like to wish them all the best and thank them for the great job they did.
Anyway, The Buzzment was closed and I have now returned to my original plan of having a simple comment page where you can make requests and post links to albums you wish to share with others. You'll find the link on the right to "Bob's Cellar", there are already a few good things there, so have a look and help yourselves. Don't forget this is open for anyone to share, and any genre, so if you have an album you think others will enjoy just upload it to one of the many free file hosting sites that are available and put the link in the comments in Bob's Cellar.
Nice Pic. Bob, I get tired just reading about all the traveling you do, ever think about staying in one spot, all the places you go to would be nice to stay in. Mike. 😎🤔😀
ReplyDeleteHi Mike, yeah I have 2 homes, one in Thailand and one in Perth, so I spend my time in both places. Before the pandemic I was close to a 50-50 situation, and now the pandemic is over and airfares have come down, I'll probably get back to a 50-50 situation. Needless to say I love travel.
DeleteHi Bob good to see the cellar open but I have a question. How will you manage the comments? Isn't there a limit to the number of comments (200?) you can have for an individual post? Even if there isn't, won't it become horrendously long over time if just one thead is used?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly wasn't this a consideration with the previous blog?
Hi Manny, I don't think there will be the same volume of posts now as there was quite a team before, and now they have moved on I'm not expecting so many posts, also after a few weeks I'll presume whoever wants a copy has already done so, then I'll keep deleting the older posts. cabledogg2 his links are good for 30 days, so when they're dead we'll delete them. Xyros uses the same system on his blog and it runs well.
DeleteWell if it gets long again, the chatbox idea worked pretty well. Enjoy your time back in Oz Bob.
DeleteCheers Reb, it's great spring weather here, so that's most welcome.
DeleteThank you very much for your kind words Bob and have a great stay in Perth.
