# quite
I quite like the idea ... but the results were fucking horrible ... it can't be impossible to be both competent at analogue electronics and not tone deaf, surely?

# a great idea,
requiring a bit more tweaking... and some musicality.
Though a plus point is that It all sounds like John cage/Stockhausen/Varese et al.

# I like your definition
of a "plus point"

I saw an air concert recently where an engineer came on between a couple of the songs and fucked about with the wires in the back of an old electric organ ... bit of an affectation but quite amusing)

# A possible plus point then.
liking radiohead + wannabe musician + art school = Lover of all things pretentious.

# people went on it
too much, and now they have exceeded their bandwidth limit

suckers
(I helped save b3ta! rabid peanut - s'fucking right, Tue 20 Apr 2004, 11:42, archived)
# Well when 70,000 people get a newsletter
they generally have a look at the links. Thing is they all get it at the same time, so either: a) they server takes a dive because it can't handle the traffic or b) there bandwidth limit is exceeded in about 5 minutes. This time it was the latter.

# It ought to be good for business
though. The more people that know the better, surely.

# Maybe
But were the actually selling anything? If not it is going to whack there wallet quite hard.

# exactly. It's very unfortunate
but a total pisser for them. I don't really see why it's that funny...
(I helped save b3ta! pep, Tue 20 Apr 2004, 11:51, archived)
# the fact that their site's down isn't funny, i've had it happen to me too and it sucks...
the fact that they thank us in a sarcastic way trying to make us look bad is the funny part.

well, it is to me anyway.

# is there a policy
on asking people if they mind their site going in the newsletter?
or at least warning them in case they have dodgy hosts who'll burn their credit cards?

# They are selling
some bent machines and some unbent ones, I Initially thought that this was the primary purpose of the site-But it's obviously more of a hobby site.

# hahaha
First we exceed their bandwidth limit, now someone puts a link to the bandwidth exceeded message on a very popular messageboard.... ;)
