tonik nick bot action..

The rapidly diverging methods of downloading Monotonik net.label material seem to be working fairly well - we've done over 130gb of tunes from the BitTorrent links, and the Monotonik section at the Internet Archive is also getting some attention from people who wouldn't normally see our material. I'm almost up to date on listening to submissions from artists, too (well, only 30 left :P), and work has commenced again on getting the mythical Monotonik mix CD out onto the actual physical dammit streets - more info soon.

Oh, and random link time - at some point, the link to portraits of you with Stevie Nicks was so loved by my online friends, they proposed getting some money together to commission a _really_ stupid portrait - Stevie with a monkey at a tractor pull, stuff like that. Unfortunately, they're quite expensive, so we haven't got round to it yet - but isn't the one of Stevie with someone's _cat_ just divine? :P

In other interesting news, I just found out the pet Slashdot IRC bot, Spr0ul, seems to be English (at least, he spells 'rumour' with a u) - at last, a kindred spirit from my home country! Even if he is robotic and prone to remembering and regurgitating random conversation, as well as giving us the latest stock prices. Not so unlike me after all, then, minus the stock tips bit.
