Whoops - Downloads fixed
July 4, 2005
Whoops. As nice as the new site design is - it’s not so nice when the download links to the video files are all broken. Suffice it to say, the download manager is now all cleaned up (if by “cleaned up” you mean “re-written from scratch”) and seems much more stable than it’s predecessor. Let’s hope so.
Download away!
Ooh, Shiny!

Welcome to Dead End Days v2.0 (and a bit). There’s some new goodies hiding around - so be sure to check it out and let us know if we’ve left something unplugged. The fine folks in the forums suggested some minor tweaks and changes already in their sneak peak so it should be ready for public consumption.
There is, of course, one big procedural changes - Days is now in “re-runs” so only two episodes will be available at a time. Each week we’ll rotate through the series and specials chronologically (don’t worry, we aren’t inflicting the “Decision 2004″ political ads on anyone again). Hopefully this will be less of a horrific burden once our excellent DVD package takes shape early this fall. I make no apologies - you kids and your “internets” were watching me out of house and home, and you’ve had a long time to download to your hearts content!
On Thursday we bid a fond adieu to “ash” our heroic server for the last two years. At the time I was setting him up, I just needed a name, and I had just watched Evil Dead - but it was an appropriate one nonetheless. Big, dumb, solving problems through brute application of slightly out of date technology. I couldn’t have fit the big guy better if the case was powered by a chainsaw engine.
Pris, the new girl on the other hand is a completely different beast. Not as overpowered but nimble, new technology, and completely schizophrenic just like her namesake (she actually thinks she’s several different servers at once). Hopefully she acquits herself as well as her predecessor.
So… yeah. Welcome to old and new friends alike to Dead End Days part deux. Enjoy your stay.
