Spin Ink is Now Mirroring PennFans.Net Files
I am a huge fan of the PennRadio show, hosted by Penn Jillette and Michael Goudeau. I have been listening to the show since it began back in January. I have always appreciated Penn Jillette’s sense of humor, but I never realized what a wonderful story teller he is. I knew I would listen to every PennRadio show I could get my hands on when I heard this episode[mp3], which was the basis for what is now known as ‘Monkey Tuesday‘. In this momentous show, Penn told some of the funniest stories I have ever heard in my life. These stories ranged in topic, but my personal favorite story was known as “The Story of the Monkey and the Dwarf“. There were also stories about people wearing various costumes, such as a giant chicken costume, a power ranger, and a gorilla suit. I laughed so hard that, had I been driving, I could have been killed!
When PennRadio first started, it was only broadcast over the radio. Despite the technology to do so, CBS was reluctant to make the show available as a podcast. To fill the demand, PennRadio listeners began recording the streaming audio many radio stations offer through their websites’, and then posting them all over the web. At the first of this year, I was looking for a reliable source of PennRadio shows, and I found PennFans.Net.
The site’s admin, Zac, dutifully records PennRadio episodes, trims them up, encodes them as mp3s, and then posts them to his website. He does a wonderful job and if you appreciate the show, you should make a donation to help him cover his hosting costs. Just last week, after being ‘dugg’, he used 120GB of bandwidth in a 24 hour period! In an effort to help Zac deal with the increasing bandwidth consumption on his site, I am now mirroring PennFans.Net files.
Hey I love your site (and pictures)… I’m wondering, how did you configure having two galleries on your site, keeping the header, etc…
I’m trying to run a videos page and a pictures page, i.e. have two galleries like you have set up. I’d love your help!
Eddy E,
Thanks for the kind words, I am using a multi-site install of gallery2. The gallery2 websites documentation explains the whole process very clearly. As for the header, I spent a lot of time tweaking gallery themes and wordpress. A lot of other stuff went into it as well. Unless you are an experienced gallery2 & wordpress hacker, it is not a trivial task.
I tweaked my gallery theme myself because I wanted to improve my page titles and I needed to work around some technical issues. In short, it took some poking, a little prodding, a 32oz. cappuccino or 4, and a lot of trial and error.
thanks.. .bummer… I saw you ask if there was a way to get the wpg2 plugin to do it… I don’t think I’d know where to start… The only thing I can do is get the multi-site install of gallery 2, but i would desperately want to have access (with the headers and menus) to both galleries.
