New home for The Jurassic Hour

Y’ALL.

One more technical update today, but first, check out this BRAIN-KICKING LOGO I MADE IN PAINT.

Done looking? Is that even possible? Okay, onward.

While I’ve developed some very modest Internet skills over the last few weeks, bad things still happen, and I will continue to ascribe them to circumstances beyond my control.

Case in point: a casualty.

The Jurassic Radio RSS feed didn’t survive the server switch, and no amount of elementary hackery is going to bring it back. I tried .htaccess 301 fixes. I tried XML-level redirects. I brought the feed completely up to standards-compliance, which, given how sloppy I was with it over the last year, was no small feat.

But it was for naught. So I tried the nuclear option.

We have a new podcast feed for The Jurassic Hour! It’s here. Spelled out, that’s http://www.gameosaurus.com/hour/feed.xml. And we’re up and running on iTunes already. You can check that out here.

If you click, you’ll notice that the feed includes only the first three episodes of The Jurassic Hour. That’s by design. The Jurassic Radio episodes will endure, but you’ll have to click here to get to them. Spelled out, that’s http://www.gameosaurus.com/podcasts/feed.xml.

I’ve got 150 GB of server space, and the 40-odd Jurassic Radio episodes we recorded comprise only about 4 GB, so they’ll live on in perpetuity. If you ever want to leaf through them and can’t find them, drop me a line. It’s very basic, occasionally dull stuff, but it represents roughly a year of enthusiasm and fairly hard work. And there definitely were some good moments along the way — our New Year’s show comes to mind, as does our October chip-sampling expo at Alex’s house — so I’m preserving all of it.

Now get subscribed, and if you love me, go comment on iTunes!
