Hey Kids! If you tried to reach The Worley Gig over the past week and found us mysteriously “off the air,” so to speak, it’s because the server that hosts this site is temporarily fucked and has been booting us off the web intermittently for the past few days at least. What a huge drag! Please bear with us until we get this problem sorted out! Thanks and Happy Easter Weekend!
I appreciate all the helpful emails from everyone who’s written to report any technical problems they’re experiencing with this site (pictures missing, pages not loading, writing samples missing, Viagra spam code showing up on the home page, blah blah blah, lather rinse repeat). I’ve been assured by Ian the Web Magician that this current crop of shit storms should be cleared up by tonight. Of course, there’s always tomorrow…
Where Did My Archives Go?
At some point last year, the Modern Drummer Website crashed for a number of months. It actually seemed like the site was down for a million billion years, but it was probably not that long. When the site finally made a come back, most of the archived Drummer Update articles had either mysteriously “gone missing” or had moved to new and unknown URLs. Exciting!
I am only just now finding the time to rebuild my Modern Drummer website archive by meticulously tracking down each article via Google and re-entering the correct URL, where available. I’m about half way through the sludge right now. Soon all — or maybe most — of those links will once again lead to actual articles! It’s not a very pretty job, but who else is going to do that for you?
