New, improved, organized! At eight.

I just rebuilt my database.
Doesn't that sound like fun?
Should be able to find things now.
(It still needs sorting, some.)
It's going to be a masterpiece
When all of that is done.

I have to break here because that's when the server did.

The way things work online is there's a board that announces what song is playing and is used to control the "radio" for the location. Any club will have such a board and it's scripted to tune into various "stations". The Velvet has its own server, and so DJs will sign into the server and broadcast from there.

Az, who plays before I do, has her own streaming server. However, the club had just gotten a new board and her station had not been scripted into the list. So, Az was playing on the Velvet server.

The hand-off from one DJ to the next is always a little tricky, because of server lag. The DJ will generally hear a song end before anyone else does. After doing this for three years, I've gotten pretty good and signing into the server and starting the list quickly.

While I was in my set, the owner of the club came by and scripted Az's station into the board. This is a good thing, because the Velvet server went down and I had to switch to a new stream. Az made hers available. The universe is funny.
