I had a nice evening. Driving home at 12:41am 50 degrees I had a Cover of Money blasting by Velvet Revolver I opened my sun roof and was just jamming out shaking my fist in the air with just pure joy. Not to often I get to feeling this great and just freeze my hand off.
Good Times. Good Times.
(What? Am I being to vague? Perhaps another blog post. Just thought would share this moment of joy before work tomorrow takes it away)
I posted a little clip from a show you might not ever hear. To enjoy this show you must subscribe to the podcast feed.

It’s a bit of a late holiday thing. Happy New Year Everyone!
I had to do some digging for this audio clip. I found it on a CD I had in a spindle called “Audio Greatness and Comedy of God” And it was of me on XM Radio the 90’s channel for my 20th Birthday. The wonderful Girl 2.0 had me on her show on May 20th 2003 if math serves me correctly. Listening to this clip I noticed some things. I wasn’t really into this I had no real ability I guess. But it was my birthday and those tend to depress me. I remember wanting an XM Radio Boombox and a Steak Dinner. Every birthday I always want a Big Fat 20oz+ Steak and one specific gift. But that never really ever seems to happen. My girlfriend at the time Andrea took me to Applebee’s which as I recall I had to pay for. Then I had to go buy all of my present.
But my general tone in this is like I am really depressed. That female was sucking the life out of me. Reminds me of this quote from the movie Armageddon. Hmm perhaps that was mean. Oh well we broke up later that year.
But it’s really interesting to hear me then all depressed not really excited about life. Compared to now. But XM Radio and running ClubXM.com and being part of the Satellite Radio Forum revolution was my only outlet my only real passion other then wanting to please my girlfriend at the time. But ever since I would say about Birthday #17 they have all sucked and I have little faith in anyone for my birthday. I make it an important note of mine to make sure everyone knows of everyone else’s birthday. I call everyone on their birthday. Just on some small shred of hope they return the favor some day. Pay it forward as they say.
Anyways for your audio pleasure of hearing me many years ago compared to now.
Tristan’s 20th Birthday XM Radio 90’s on 9 Call in with Girl 2.0
Well I am working on the move to TristanPipo.com with a new host and so far things are running smoothly. I am working on the next Podcast which will be hosted with Mike and get that going hopefully have that before the end of the year.
I am working on the Year in Review Blog Post and the worst date ever.
Funny Story about dating I had two bad dates in less then a week. One I went all out for and the other was just kinda weird. But that will be a post which will take my current 10 page draft and extended it do probably something a lot longer.
Champagne will fall from the heavens and party and noisemakers will salute. But that’s what has been going on. So much coding and getting everything prepared.
Hope everyone had a good holiday. I hope to have 4-5 more blog posts before the year is over. So much to do so little time.
*hugs to the world*
And as I like to say “Take it Easy and if it’s easy Take it Twice”

It’s 4am but it’s done. I will be posting it when I wakeup tomorrow. To Tired to finish the encode. Write the shownotes and update all the feeds.
Till then it’s done flaws and all. I forget how many takes I did of “Twas the Night Before… Fuck” as I have grown to call it. I didn’t swear but we got it done. The Music is awesome. The voicemails are limited but got them all to mashup with the song and yeah.
(Edit: Okay I started the encode it is taking 5min 53Sec and it ranks in at 30min 18 seconds and at 27.8MB. I feel the bandwith bill coming and my tongue dropping right now.)
(Edit #2: My goodness I am tired)
I am on take 37 of trying to read the entire Twas the Night Before Christmas. I keep screwing up damn british words. Some interesting Results.
“Twas the Night Before.. Fla Fla Fucking Eh”
“Sprang from by Bed.. Ahh Fuck!”
I need some Egg Nog (+ Rum) lol
Just got an e-mail from my webhosting company.
Dear Tristan Pipo,
This notice is to inform you of a scheduled software upgrade for tonight at 1:00 a.m. EST (Friday, December 23); we will be upgrading MySQL to version 4.1 as per the request of our customers. The upgrade process has been fully tested to ensure that there will not be any complications or compatibility issues, and as an added precaution we will be performing a complete backup of all databases before proceeding with the upgrade.
The upgrade will take anywhere between 2 to 5 hours to complete, depending on the version of MySQL currently installed. During the time of the upgrade both MySQL and the Ensim control panel will be unavailable, although the Apache web server will continue to operate, and your web site will remain online.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation, and we hope that you will enjoy the new upgraded MySQL version.
Yours truly,
Joseph Buaron
Chief Executive Officer
Future Point Inc.
I wonder how much data traffic monitoring I will lose during the downtime. But this shouldn’t effect anything I have running. The SQL Databases I have are for running the podcast feed. The test polling software I have running but haven’t implemented. And the RSS Feeds I have incoming. So again no downtime for the visitors but my backup scheme will go hawire so some erros might popup.
Alright Production has begun on Audio Christmas Card. You can still call in I can still squeeze you in. I got permission to play a song my grandpa wrote when he lived in Australia. Tried to clear it with the Australian version of the RIAA but I went to the source instead worked a lot faster.
I redid the intro about 20 times there are lots of recordings with “ahh shit.. “Crap damnit” I wish there was a more efficent way of recording the mistakes. I am suprised at how much music was sent to me. Lots to play.
I am off to finish my holiday shopping. So far the new headset is performing awesome. Happy Holidays!
On a Side Note I have been working on a Summary of last Friday. Working on either the title of “Date from Hell…Or Hot Choclate of Hell”. My first draft is 6 pages.
I will be taking calls until 11:59:59pm PST tonight. Hoep to hear from everyone. Happy Holidays!
(Edit: Due to work I can take calls up until tomorrow night 9:59:59pm. Also to those who called in yesterday I was trying to fix the a problem with the system not picking up. I picked up the phone on accident when I had one plugged in to test the system. I think I scared the Junniper away. )
