How about winning a 35GB Iomega REV drive? It’s simple, all you’ll have to do is to sign up on the new tips from the top floor forum and post an intro about yourself in the listeners area.

The giveaway starts now, and the winner will be drawn from all who posted an intro on the listeners forum by October 1st 2005.

And of course, all who have signed up to the forum and posted an intro before this announcement are eligible for the drawing too!

(Note: I’ve seen some of you posting a comment to this article. This does not count to be eligible for the draw. You’ll have to sign up on the forum to be entered into the draw!)

If you’re reading this, the server move went through! There are still some cleanup activies going on, and right now it’s not as fast as it should be, but don’t worry, we’re working on it!

I’ll be back with a new show and a surprise on Friday!

Man, you guys are giving this web site quite a beating. In a positive sense of course. I’m really happy for everyone who visits the site, leaves comments and looks at the images!

The increasing amount of site traffic has made it necessary to move tips from the top floor to a bigger, better, faster and more robust server. This will happen next week, Monday thru Wednesday. Preparations are in progress as we speak.

“What does this mean for me?” I hear you ask. Well, not much. The site will stay open for your viewing and reading pleasure, but you won’t be able to leave comments from Monday thru Wednesday. I will also not be able to post new shows until Wednesday, partially due to the server move taking up some of my time and due to the fact that I won’t be able to update the site’s Podcast feed during the move.

I know it’s hard to spend a couple of days without new tips from the top floor, but hang in there, the new server will be worth the wait!

Thanks for your understanding!

Chris

PS: as the comments system will be shut down for 3 days on Monday, make sure you leave any urgent comments before that time.

PPS: you could use the tfttf-less time to go out shooting and put some of my tips into practise

Tips from the top floor has made the iTunes Homepage again. It’s the icon in the top right corner, alternating with “KCRW’s The Road Less Traveled” and Adam Curry’s “Podfinder”
