Should probably tell you what I'm up to.

First, I have the next show pretty much done; just gotta do the last bits of combining the parts, normalizing, upload and we're good. When it comes to talking about the C64, I'm particular - so I work extra hard on these.

Second, I've been exploring a new means of getting the archived shows out there; Google Play. RetroGaming Radio Year 6 is now fully available on Google Play story for $1 per episode. The sucky part is - I cannot add TRACK or ALBUM information per se - so you don't know what each show deals with. There are other little issues, but this is an experiment. Each show can be PREVIEWED for the first minute - where I usually do a show preview - it isn't perfect, but it is what I got.

Third, myself and Alex have been busting ass getting all the metadata for the new shows in line with the classic show data. The classic shows are very metadate driven, while the new shows used text file descriptors to control the HTML5 player playback. It was a lot of work (and we're not completely done) but if you go to the site, and hit the Classic or New Archives? You'll see a HUGE difference. All of this took a pain in the ass update to the website and database crap. Thanks to Google opening up the Google Drive API - I'll be adding "Save to Google Drive" links to all the shows; so you can transfer them to your Drive for later consumption.

Finally, my time has been at a premium; new job, more commitments to martial arts, etc. I'm doing my best to squeeze EVERYTHING in. Bear with me. We'll get back in the rhythm soon enough.

In the meantime, keep your eyes on Google+'s page and Twitter for instant updates on what little things I keep adding to the Monroeworld universe.

I guess that's it. Gotta get some sleep :) ]]> RGR Show Feedback Shane R.

This is .99 people ... that means you can "own" Amiga kickstarts for under a buck - no need to buy Amiga Forever, etc. to get these.

This is a stellar deal. Plus you're supporting Cloanto - friend of the show and community. ]]> RGR Show Feedback Shane R. Monroe http://www.monroeworld.com/forums/showthread.php?19999-Android-gets-LEGAL-Amiga-emulation-Cheap
