We are now back online!  - 31 Dec 2008 -
Yep, we are now officially back online, and may I say in better shape than before, at least on my part! Let me take a minute to explain what was going on behind the scenes:
Before upgrading, WZMR was being hosted on an old "server" PC running on a 500 MHz processor with 126 MB of RAM and Windows 200 Server being the operating system. (A.K.A. Very old, and slow computer!) However, I discovered that I had another unused PC sitting around in my house that had a Pentium III (1 GHz) with 512 MB of RAM, and so I decided it was time to upgrade. It's not the latest and greatest PC, but hey, it's an improvment! It's now running Windows Server 2003 and it's going strong! So now you don't have to worry about any long downtime so long I don't run into any Internet problems.
So you can now connect back to the main server by going to the Servers page and selecting my server or just enter in this address:

Switching Over Server - 30 Dec 2008 -
Hey everyone! I really do apologize but the main WZMR server will be down for tomorrow (Wednesday) as I am switching over the main server to another, more stable computer I have. I know you guys are probably getting tired of hearing the words "downtime" or "offline" but I promise you that once I'm finished with this, there should be no more long downtime. ebuch: Hehe... Stephen went MIA today, which is understandable being it's New Year's Eve. We'll let you know when ScienceOfThePS3 gets his server back up, but for now why don't you check out this article by Kotaku showing that 2008 was the first year in a decade without any Zelda! It's kinda weird I know, but check out the article and see what your opinion is.Stephen: Hey all. Sorry about going MIA today. My dad accidentally cut through the coax wire going to the router (aka the thing that makes the internet work) while working today. It's all fixed and I've got my server running a backup stream. Unfortunately, I don't have all the awesome extra stuff the other two do so I've only got ZREO's music playing in shuffle mode. Sorry :(
To tune in, just pop my IP into a supported player. Whoops! Looks like Verizon decided to change my IP without warning again.
My new IP is: 96.234.77.85:8023. Sorry about that XD

Wind Waker Unplugged - 29 Dec 2008 -
Sorry for not posting this the SECOND I saw this a few days ago (Christmas Day actually), but we may have just stumbled upon the greatest Zelda music fan video. The video goes by the name Wind Waker Unplugged, and the amazing artist goes by Freddie25, or FreddieGreddie. The 23-year-old Swede with a knack for music came up with the arrangement using ALL "acoustic" instruments, recording himself playing (or singing) each part to form a "one man orchestra." Check out the vid: Nuclear Geek also had a recent interview with Fredrik, and for those who wish to read up on that may find the story Here.It's truly wonderful work and the MP3 of it has been added to the library of WZMR music for the enjoyment of many others. Hope you all enjoy it! Holiday Wishes - 24 Dec 2008 -
Happy Holidays from all of us at WZMR! We all hope that you get your full satisfaction in your gifts, and spend some quality time with your family. Go out there, have some fun with family, but be safe! I was really hoping that I would be able to host a New Year's Eve special, but that isn't possible anymore now that I have to work that night. Yeah, sucks I guess but what can you do?
I'm going to also add that the new layout I've been working on is going to be completely scrapped and redone. I just didn't really find myself liking it all that much, and I have some better thoughts that I think will be much better. The one that will not be released just seems too much like the current one, and I'm really looking forward to the possibilities a complete renovation will provide. Unfortunately this means that the launch goal of January will likely not be met, but it should be well worth the wait. If anyone has some interest in using the unused layout, feel free to contact me for approval, and I might give it to you.
Thanks for visiting and listening to WZMR, and to all a good night!
