Journal yintercept's Journal: aPlus - Ryan Hillers Music 1

I moved Ryan Hiller's web site to a new server. The site has three free songs with a nice rock beat. Now that he has more bandwidth, I hope he opens the album up and makes all of the songs available.

Ryan is trying to make a go at it in San Diego. In the buy local first train of thought, we put the site on aPlus.Net. Their data center is in San Diego.

Unfortunately, aPlus.net does not allow people to run the PHP preprocessor on .html files (which is a major drag). From the perspective of the end user, it is an html file; so it should have a .html extension.

The basic idea of the site was to provide three free songs and to sell the CD for $10 a pop. In 5 years the site sold exactly one CD.

That proves what the free music crowd said. "If musicians gave their songs away for free; They would sell A CD." The site sold A CD. The theory was proven.

The only problem with the theory is that musicians require beer, and, the bartender, he don't work for free.

    Heh. During spring break, you might as well be working for free, for all the money you make. Then again, you don't bartend during Spring break for the money ;)
