What's New in Sleepbot Constructs?

More information on all of these projects can be found on the Home Page.
Current Listener World Map
ah, this may be my final toy for SEB, but we'll see. it's a map that shows where folks are listening from, without being too detailed. it's a data sculpture, it's cross-browser stable, and it changes very very slowly. check it out, at 4 hour intervals.
Generalized Feed integration
okay, so this pretty much puts an end to the "what's new" section. i'm so lazy about updating that section, so i'll just blog when things change. then everyone will forget, and it won't be important anymore.
Playlist feed
yep. get the latest playlist delivered to you on a regular basis. it looks pretty both within the feed viewer and without.
Geo-position mash-up data support
collecting data for a listener visualiation project. UI still not done, but statistics are accurate.
Five launches into SEB
an immense and delicious variety of beauty for your listening pleasure.
New albums added to Ambience for the Masses
another 32 albums that i'd been accumulating. the pending pile is much smaller now!
re-design of the 'root' pages of the site
yes, and it was such a long time in coming. the design stayed technically stable for 8 years, but was way ancient in technique. no more <FRAMESET /> code, plus a new and somewhat sleeker overall design.
New albums added to Ambience for the Masses
a year's-end-wrap-up of 24 more albums. happy holidays, internet!
Three launches into SEB
one launch per month in this quarter, which included the Samhain and Holiday sets for 2006.

a quick turn-around of 8 new albums.
Three launches into SEB
catching up with all the delightful music that i set aside during the AftM overhaul. glad to be back to it.
Full re-design of Ambience for the Masses project
it took a while -- 6 months of spare time -- during which i migrated the database, re-built the broken app stack, and did a full interface overhaul. i hope my readers will enjoy the changes.
New albums added to Ambience for the Masses
another 22 wonderful albums. will such wonders never cease?
Two launches into SEB

New albums added to Ambience for the Masses
35 additional albums into the database. wow, so much new stuff in only 3 months!

New albums added to Ambience for the Masses
42 more albums for the great and massive archive. so much beautiful music.

26 albums. i think i'm gonna spend some time making reviews now.

SEB re-samples and new content
another 20 or so hours, including some seasonal favorites.

Added Options Page, Java Candy to Drummond Base
set up client-side cookie-based option system. single option so far to display Java Applet eye-candy whenever listening to a mix. option to disable this feature, because slow performance machines (like my P90) aren't happy about decoding RealAudio while simultaneously running complex Applets.
