I finally joined YouTube and now we have some of our old videos there. Plus we have a new videos page on killkaraoke. I'm trying to upload some of the other old stuff, but YouTube is being a jerk about it. For some weird reason some of my files upload fine, but then others that are in the exact same file format won't work. I just spent hours trying to reencode files and do some other weird stuff, but it didn't work. So there's only two videos there right now, plus links to A Roman Holiday videos on YouTube. That should tide you over for now. Don't forget to share them with your friends.

I did a major upgrade for this site. It looks like most stuff is normal, but leave a comment if something's not working. Thanks. I'll post something entertaining some time tomorrow.

I think I'm going to try out this ad selling thing on killkaraoke. So if you want to post an ad on this site, click on the "Your Ad Here" link on the left and pay some money and make your ad. It's really cheap, I think. Actually I might move that section to somewhere more obvious so you'll be more willing to buy some ad space. I hope this works.

Ok I changed a setting yesterday that made the home page not show up. All the other pages worked fine, and I guess I just didn't think to test the home page. Sorry about that.

Actually, I think I'll blame A Roman Holiday on this one. Every time I have to do a new upgrade of Drupal, I have to add back in custom settings so that ARH's section of this site will work again. It apparently hadn't been working for a few weeks (or longer) because on the last upgrade I guess I forgot to do that and nobody said anything. So then yesterday I added the setting back in, and it broke more stuff because I didn't do it right.

Read this part for the nerdy details. When ever I upgrade Drupal, I usually forget to not override the .htaccess file, so I have to go back in each time and change things. The problem is that Drupal only uses index.php as the directory index, which is fine, but ARH is so low tech they use index.html, so I have to add that to the directory index list.

The problem was that I used a comma instead of a space to seperate the entries. So here's your .htaccess lesson for the day.
This is wrong: DirectoryIndex index.php, index.html
This is right: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

I used to have some custom rewrite rules as well, but then I forgot about them during an upgrade and didn't have them written anywhere. So I'll just have to see what shows up in the error logs.

Oh yeah, happy Friday the 13th.

Alright, the karaoke party's over. I'm kicking you out. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Oh wait, I want you to stay here. On this site. Don't leave. We hope you enjoyed the party. Thanks for coming. We'll have some photos up soon. Maybe. Post your favorite karaoke party stories here.

The party was a huge success. We karaoked for 24 hours. Then we killed it. Then everyone else got toe up and forget everything that just happened. So you'll just have to believe my story.

At one point everyone was playing with fridge magnets. Look at what they made.

What can I say? When they're right, they're right.

Then a bunch of sexy ladies and russian brides showed up. And a pizza delivery girl. They saw the message on the fridge and... uh what was I talking about?

Oh yeah and Jay and Alex were walking around and runnning into walls and doing dumb things like they always do. Then I beat Alex in every single video game ever made. Then the international championship foosball team showed up and I defeated them with one hand tied behind my back. Then Google came over, and gave me a job, even though I don't have a phD. Oh yeah then I also beat Alex at every single made up competition ever made up. Then I improv ed the world's bestest song while I was drawing the world's bestest picture and making the world's bestest film. Then all the ladies were like "Dave your sexy body is hot n spicy www.killkaraoke.com" except for the url part. No they weren't reading it off of the fridge. Then all the people at the party added me to their myspace, friendster, facebook, and all other social networking web sites, making me the most popular person on all of those sites. And in the world.

Best party ever. Ever.

And if Alex or Jared post anything that's contrary to the way that I'm saying this party went down, then they're liars. They were way too crunk to know what really happened. That reminds me. Lil Jon showed up. And he spit fruity pebbles on my face.
