Your audio wine guide.

Well, it took most of the afternoon, but the move to Bluehost was successful. I tried to install the latest beta versions of WordPress without success, so I just installed the stable version available for auto-install.
I’ve tasted the Shiraz and finished my notes, but my son is recording right now for The Avid Gamer podcast, so I will do mine tomorrow before the Vikings & Packers take the field.
Cheers!

I will be moving winecast.net to a new host this evening. There might be some time the site is off the internet due to DNS resolving to the new host. This outage should be short and the additional bandwidth will more than cover the demand and a lot of growth. I am also upgrading to the new, podcast-friendly beta version of WordPress.
More details on this subject in my next podcast.

Mike commented to one of my posts yesterday about errors he was having with an aggregator called, Nimiq. I loaded it on my laptop (running Windows XP Professional) and tried to download the Winecast feed. Of course, it worked the first time so I sent Mike an email with the news and suggested he upgrade to the latest release and try again.
Later in the day, I loaded Nimiq on my main desktop system here (running Windows XP Home) and it presented the same error Mike was talking about (something about an HTTP sharing violation, blah, blah, blah…). So a bit of Googling later, I came across a workaround that enables downloading of the Winecast feed. To make it easy for you, just download this file into your Nimiq folder (default location is C:>Program Files>Nimiq). Restart Nimiq and hit the feed and it works!
Must be some sort of .NET issue, but if you are having problems downloading Winecast with Nimiq this will fix it. Nimiq is a Windows only client, BTW. Their badge is in the, “Meta” section to the lower right menu.

Looks like the iPodding has subsided, so we should make it through this evening… I’ve still got 300 MB of bandwidth left to serve over the next 4 hours or so.
