The NEW Audioholics 3.0 website is deploying at the end of the month. We don’t want to link it up directly, but users can get a sneak peek at http://beta.audioholics.com:90

Hint: If your post begins withлаптоп “It would be really cool if…” then we will probably delete or ignore the post. We’ll have plenty of time for feature requests later – for now, however, please focus on letting us know if anything actually breaks.
Keep in mind that the system may be a tad slow as it’s being worked on and is not on the final hardware where it will reside.
We look forward to your feedback. Thanks and enjoy the sneak peek!

The companies staffed with morons who wouldn’t know how to promote a pile of poo to a fly colony, start calling and emailing about 7 days before the event.
This happens every year. Like clockwork. Read more…
