Ah PhatCMS, it is a wonderful bit of kit if I may say so myself, mainly because me and the DMz made it, but also because we can do funky shit like add latest blogs boxes on the homepage in just minutes. You will now see this latest headline appearing in

Big shouts to our latest abductee Peter who brought along his didgeridoo (or didjeridu) and click sticks (or clap sticks, or bilmi) to play along with us. Peter is into Jazz and obviously also likes Aboriginal music, we had an absolute blast and kicked

Anyone who has heard us knows we use Flash sound boards, some of which Sabs made and others which we downloaded. One issue with them is that once they're made the samples are set and can't be changed so to get new samples we need to get a whole new sound

A security flaw has been published relating to VLC, which is the program we use for the alien stream. This won't affect us as the bug relates to udp, and we stream MP3 over http, so you needn't worry if you use VLC to listen to alienspeaking. The bug

Last friday we had a visit from Agent Kaos, our first abductee in ages. It was great having him there, since he is largely responsible for the existence of alienspeaking. Kaos used to run the Canberra DJ School and Farq did the DJ course there years ago.

I have been pondering this like many others do on a daily basis, "where would we be without technology?". Alienspeaking would be nothing, and could not have existed except for in this day and age.
A mere 15 years ago I was in my late teens
