So...
Long time, no update hey? for one thing, I kept myself busy
with the independent media centre in Montebello last month. There's some
traces of what went down there at
http://imc-montebello.org. Also, I've since then biked from montreal
to toronto, where I'm visiting family and training with CKLN, ryerson's
campus community station at 88.1fm, towards the left end of the dial.
The content available from this site is gradually being transferred to

know if you are having trouble finding things that you are looking for,
and PLEASE, be patient with radio4all; it's worth the wait...

Two feature-length pieces uploaded today, both produced with the help
of other ckut staff and volunteers, both being broadcast as parts of
longer documentaries focused on racial profiling and police brutality.
Last week, a number of shorter and stranger experiemnts were uploaded,
including copenmix-1 and -2, mtl2012-nooze. At the same time, two
pieces focused on International Women's Day (IWD) were uploaded. MmmHmm.

2 february 2007
springorcrushes.mp3 was uploaded today. There's been some major changes in the format of mtlaudio.org, making room for images! Ozkan Ay gets the credit for the .jpgs. There have been a number of new uploads in the last month, including the special LIVE broadcast of mtl2012_episode5, in celebration of art's birthday. Also, I just learned how to put in the media player you see above. Here's where I found it: http://nunzioweb.com/streaming_audio-example.htm

20 november 2006 -=- browser compatible + fnb/atsa audio
A short piece with two interviews about Food Not Bombs and ATSA was uploaded on 14 november..Check it out here.
What?!? You don't use Firefox? Sorry for the visibility problem, what with
that stuff on the right that was invading the main part of the page. I've
finally gotten around to fixing in up - mostly by getting rid of
what was causing the problem. Something like, "the simplest solution
is often the bestest.". It all has to do with something known as
browser compatibility. I use firefox. I test with Explorer now, and
I have absolutely NO idea what this page looks like
on Safari, or other browsers I've never heard of.

10 november 2006 -=- mtlaudio.org gets valid!
In a moment of supreme triumph over the nit-picky world of Markup Language, the grammatical integrity of index.html and css.main have just been validated by the automated software tools developed by w3c. Scroll down to this pages' footer to further explore this exciting development.
10 october 2006 -=- promo CD unleashed + Peter Collins Interview Up'd
Hi! So, maybe you've heard my shameless self promo CD vol. 1, and you're here to see what all the fuss is about. Well, let me tell ya! Just this evening I've uploaded another world-exclusive audio premier; This one's got a weight to that's entirely unique...it's starts with a kind of windy whistle, with some feedback, then, "Peter Collins has been in Bath Prison for twenty-three years..."
Peter Collins is the life force behind http://buriedaliveillustrations.com, and a well-informed and articulate critic of Canaduh's prison system. I recorded an interview with him on 24 september 2006. Download or stream it from the audio page.
04 october 2006 -=- streamin' like never before!
Stream! Yeah! It really wasn't so complicated after all,
but it took some experimenting; You can now listen to
mtlaudio.org files without the hassle of downloading them.
.m3u files tell your audio player where to find audio
files on the internet. So long as your connection is fast
enough, this saves you the hard-drive space for stuff you
don't want to keep. Very exciting.
Stream this:

02 october 2006 -=- uploads uploads bo buploads!
Two new pieces of free radio uploaded today, so check out
the audio page. The
streaming still doesn't work, but I'll get on that before
you know it. Until then, keep downloading! Anyone getting
the RSS updates will notice the annoying advertisements
brought to your in-box by the "free" feed publisher. These
will be gone when I learn to publish the feed myself.
There's a video of last weeks' Critical Mass ride here:

25 september 2006 -=- Are Ess Ess?
RSS? Yes, well, still learning how to use it - experimenting.
Anyway, I sent one out today, and hope to here if it works
for you. I use Mozilla Thunderbird, which you can download
from their website:
http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/. In most recent news,
three french interviews about the 2006 Die-In for bike
freedom are available for download on the
audio page. There's a photo slide show of the event
here:

mtl2012_episode2_20min will be up this week, featuring
cold weather, planes on Parc Avenue and and prognosticizing
about peak oil prices. Take it easy!
15 september 2006 -=- on-line NOW!
Not just 'ready' anymore...we're on-line! You probably got here by clicking on the link in an e-mail from me. As I understand it, it'll be a day or two before the proper domain name, http://mtlaudio.org brings you to the site. Nonetheless, welcome! It shouldn't take you long to explore all three pages, (links are conveniently located on the left there). The most exciting thing is definitely the world-exclusive release of MTL2012_episode1, available free for download right here. Let me know what you think, or if you'd like to participate in episode 3!
03 september 2006 -=- ready, set...
Okay! We're ready to go on-line here, folks. The first
audio available for download will be an episode of Off The Hour, described
in more detail right here.
Besides the web busy-ness, I'm getting everything together for my first
monthly report to the people who are really running this show. This report
will require me to check my phone messages, then bug Les Courtiers D'Assurances
Fort for proof that I am insured, then I'll bug the Caisse Desjardins for an
account statement, then I'll get Yann to sign a reciept for my phone and
internet payments, then I'll double-check the accounting form I've filled out,
and get Marc to sign the piece of paper that says "Charlie has been in Montreal,
working on this project for twenty hours per week, throughout the month of
august."
Word.
02 september 2006 -=- experimental formating
Tonight I'll start formatting the audio page. I'm going to upload some of
my past audio productions as soon as the page goes on-line. Looks like
cablan will do the job well enough, but still needs to be settled next
week. Looking forward to an exciting launch!
Today's additions to the audio page:
clickez-vous ici, si vous plait.
23 august 2006 -=- looky here
So, today I'm gonna polish everything up a bit, to prepare these pages for potentially critical eyes and minds...what do you think? turnthetide AT ckut DOT ca with your witty remarks, and suggestions for montreal-based hosts.
18 august 2006 -=- netcast research
Not much today; there's some more links to netcasters on the research page.
17 august 2006 -=- cash rules everything around me
ONWARD! The cheque for this projects' insurance policy is in the mail - this is a mandatory expense of $163, equaling %7.76 of the projects' operating budget - merci a les courtiers d'assurances fort!. I got a friend with a credit card to register the domain name - from http://gandi.net, 14.5 euros = $20.8 CAD . I wrote myself a check for petty cash - $50, 'cuz I gots ta have pens! . Finally, I have prepared a digital version of the Jeunes Volontaire-approved time-frame for project implementation; check it out...

14 august 2006 -=- get the money / dolla dolla bills y'all!
Exciting news in the development of MTLAUDIO.ORG: The cheques are in the bank! Besides today's entry on the research page, I'm starting the necessary accounting busy-ness that goes along with a project like this.
09 august 2006 -=- props ta tha Jay Vees!
mtlaudio.org is a
jeunes volontaires project. It begins today as a humble
html page accessible only to me. mo ah Ha Ha ha HAAGHGH!
It will become a site where the computers of the world will have access
to audio productions that are somehow related to Montreal - mostly in that I
helped produce them in Montreal - but some may require more imagination to
make the link...
Here's a quote from my project proposal:
mtlaudio.org is about learning as much as I can about the emerging
field of internet radio. My project will be to develop a website that
will allow me to distribute audio throughout the world by podcast,
download and streaming, and to produce audio programming for the website.
This may not look like much right now, but it's a big start. I've taught myself
everything I know about on-line publishing through web tutorials, and it takes me a
long time to get a simple page like this written. I'll teach myself a lot more
before it's all said and done. Also, I've gotten in the habit of writing pages
by hand, nevermind those fancy publishing programs, give me notepad and a
browser, coffee, and hours and hours and hours...
So, a big part of this project is research. Subjects
to explore include:
-existing internet radio services
crtc standards and regulations for internet radio
Another big part of the project is designing the web page. Every colour, border and empty space has to be played around with. Word.
I'm currently debating myself about how honest I should be about the process of developing this project. A paragraph like this, for example, will not come across as very professional. However, it may help me make connections with others who can relate to - literally de-sensitizing - long hours spent in front of a computer, and the many little steps involved in developing a website. In another train of thought: less is more, especially when it comes to words. Why should I assume that anyone visiting this sight wants to read my midnight diatribe on the relevance of honest web publishing? At this point, it is yet to be determined whether or not this site will stand as a brightly polished, frighteningly efficient transferer of information, or, whether human frailties such as this are allowed to live on. Three hours is enough for tonight. Besides, it's almost tomorrow. G'night!
Three months later - nov 20 - I haven't erased that paragraph yet. I probably will soon. Enjoy it while you still can!
