Just want to let you know that I have decided to continue to do the show.  I know that I have gone on a very long hiatus.  Time has scarce due to work and family.  At the same time, I have given much thought about what I wanted to do with the show.  But at the end of the day, I realize that I like the show much the way it is.

However, there may be some minor changes.  I have decided that I am going to focus on Music and Philosophy twinkled with my life experiences.  I may or may not keep the oxymoron of the week.  I plan to only keep it if I can set up a mechanism where you will be able to interact with the OW.  In other words, I want you to be able to vote on whether I or not I busted the oxymoron of the week.  But we’ll see.

So for now, I promise that this week I will work on a show for you and have it ready for this Sunday, May 30.  For now, stay tuned here for more information!

UPDATE: Something that I have been contemplating much is revenue.  Although I really enjoy doing The PePe Show, I would like to make it worth my while.  While I know that I won’t get rich or be able to live off the show, I would like to be able to earn some extra cash to at least pay for the equipment and hosting.

One revenue stream would be advertising, of course.  Yet, for now, I don’t have any direct advertiser that will be running a campaign on the PodCast.  Instead, I will take advertisers on this website.  So please, help the show by taking advantage of the offers that will be listed on this site.

I will be creating special pages for the advertisers where you can read more about them.  So please look for that in the coming week.

I am excited that despite my account with the advertisers was closed due to inactivity, I have been accepted by most of the advertisers I had previously.  So look for advertisers coming soon.  Most of them, I am excited about because they are products/services I use.

I know you must be anxious to hear the next episode. Believe me, I am anxious to record it.

There are a few things that have prevented me from working on Episode 33:

OK, I know I am a big time nerd to be creating a table. But frankly, I don’t know how else to make it clear what I need to do. The highlighted cells represent items that are yet to be completed. Anyways, you get the idea.

Stay tuned for Episode 33. Hopefully it won’t be too long before I record it.

I know I have not done a show in over a month.  I really hate putting this show aside.  As I have said before work and family have taken all my time.  The few times I have had I chance I have spent it on either playing the guitar or entertaining me with a movie or music.

Still, I really miss doing the show.

I have traveled a couple more times to Seattle.  On both ocassions, I took my equipment and did not have the energy to do a Podcast.  My appologies for that.

So now, as we enter 2008, I hope that I will be able to keep my promise and be able to provide at least two episodes a month.

In the meantime, I wish all of you the best of look in 2008 and may all your wishes come true.

If you can dream it, believe it, and it will come true.

Happy New Year, everyone!

As promised, I have changed it around it.  It took me a great deal of time to decide which theme to use.  And finally, I ended going with back to the basics.  All other themes seemed to be too cluttered and had seemed to have the same issue, hard to find information.

Now that I have discovered widgets, it has really made my life easier.  I can put whatever I want in whatever order I want.  This make my page unique to me and my needs while keeping a simple view.  I really hope you enjoy.

Please, feel free to add some comments and let me know what you think.  I know, this show is more about the PodCasts than anything else.  But, I gotta have a website too, right?

So here we are still waiting on Episode 14.  The notes and music were all ready.  However, now I may have to modify them since I had time sensitive material in them.

For the time being, I want to appologize to Pete from across the street.  We spent last Sunday recording a new segment.  I am sure he has been waiting to hear it.  Yet, because I haven’t done the show, there is nothing to hear.

Also a gree-P.cast goes out to everyone from the company I used to work for: Robert, Pete, Kane, Rich, Keith, and anybody else who heard the show and liked it.  Appreciate the fact that you are tuning in.  Here you are one episode and now I skip a show.  Don’t despair.  I will try to make it up to you.

Well, not just you, but everyone who has been enjoying The PePe Show.  I decided that since I am going to wait until Sunday. I might as well work on all the little tunes I wanted to play in the show.  I’ve already done one for this show, maybe I’ll have some more ready, as well.

Well, I hope that you have had a chance to catch up with the Podcasts.  Tell me what you think!  Or, even if you want to rant about me not dowing a show, do so by calling me at (702) 430-6099.  Scold me for being a procrastinator!

Just wanted to let you know that I stayed way too late, again, getting ready for the show. As such, I am going to have to delay it and record on Monday. Since I have everything ready-to-go, I should be able to do it as soon as I am home from work.

My appologies to all my listeners.

I really need to to start preparing on Saturday.  This way I will have it ready for Sunday, first thing.

Stay Tuned!

As you may already know if you are a fan of my work.  I am constantly trying to better the show.  One of the things I was not too satisfied was the show notes.  I acknowledge that they have been too lengthy.  Yet, I still want to be informative to those interested.

You may not know this, but I was using a Wiki site (installed on my home computer) to manage my show notes.  It made it very easy to post my thoughts and change from anywhere I was.  However, I did not want to make that public as it would not be 100% reliable.

So, in an effort to make my show notes available, I have created a new wiki site on The PePe Show site.  I present to you the Show Notes Wiki site: http://www.thepepeshow.com/PodCast/ShowNotes.

Feel free to jump in any time!  The only thing I ask is for you not to vandalise the site.

So as you may already know, I am always trying to improve the site. In doing so, I failed to realize that I made some changes that messed up the syndication feed that pushes The PePe Show to your aggregator programs and other websites. This syndication feed is the infamous RSS feed. Well, it turns out that the feed was including everything but the podcast! What a drag! To make things worse, it seems that this happened when I posted Episode 7.

As I was checking to see how many people had downloaded The PePe Show, I noticed that no one had. It was very strange because the numbers were high and all of a sudden they dropped to nothing. I was sure that it had to do with the website that tracks the downloads. I knew it was wrong.

Well, it wasn’t, but thank goodness it wasn’t that no one was listening to the show. It was my mistake for fudging with the website.

All is well now, so enjoy! Remember, don’t be shy and post some comments, or better yet, call me! My number is (702) 430-6099.

Just wanted to let you know that in the next coming weeks I will slowly start to make some changes to the website. One of the more exciting changes will be the site theme. However, little by little, I will also be making some subtle changes.

One of the first changes I want to make is the Blog portion of the website. It will no longer be used to blog anymore. Instead, I will use it to post announcements, and such. For example, this announcement is the type of posting I will be doing.

The other change I will be making is the show notes. I notice that they make the posts very long. Instead, I will just post the topics and songs. However, I will not be posting the details of the show. This change will be beneficial for several reasons. First, it makes the posts easier to read as they will be shorter. Second, it allows me to publish the podcast faster as I don’t have to review it and mark it with times. And last, I don’t have to worry about wrong times.

You are welcomed to post comments to this announcement. Up next you’ll see The PePe Show – Episode 8.
