YOU FAILED at Time Control!!

It's nice to know that someone cares. Indeed, Bachner and I got several
letters of complaint.

Bachner's computer broke, that's what happened.

These monstro uploads often get interrupted and have to be done a
second or third time. Which is a pain in the ass, in Bachner's ass
specifically, yet he DOES IT ANYWAY, Dobbs bless his soul.

THIS time, however, after he'd uploaded what he thought was the whole
thing, and before he'd tested it, he had to do some repairs on his
computer, and they failed! (In fact, he had been using a buddy's
computer to do the upload in the first place.) He couldn't even get
email to know that his upload had been incomplete. I should have phoned
him, then he could have told me to do it myself.

See, I produce the shows, mostly at home, using parts mailed in or
recorded live at the local station on the ESO show. I send out CD
copies of the shows -- in two versions, X-rated with all the fucks
intact (for the Internet, Canadian stations and individual
subscribers), and PG rated for the U.S. broadcast stations. (ALL OF
THIS IS DONE ON THE CD BURNER DONATED BY THE GREAT AND KIND REV.DR.
JACK, INCIDENTALLY, and the HARD DRIVE donated by REV. D.B. SINISTER).

My CDs are multiple audio tracks -- you can put them in a CD player and
skip from track to track, to find a specific song or collage or
whatnot.

I mail one to Bachner, who then extracts all those sound files into one
BIG FUCKIN' sound file and compressed it all to MP3 and RealAudio. (Or
maybe he compresses it first and then stitches it all together.) Then
he uploads each file to its various servers, the Real Audio DONATED BY
SENSORYRESEARCH.COM and the MP3 space DONATED BY REV. PROSTATA
CONTATA!!

I could do all this myself, now that I have a 60 gig drive and a G4,
but it is VERY time consuming. So ALL Hour of Slack listeners,
contributors, stations, and I, should HAIL the FUCK out of these fine
donators! Libations and oral sex all around -- it's on the house. Bill
Dobbs before he Bills You.
