Happy Square Root day! In honor of spring time newness I have decided to try something new. I joined twitter under the user name of sugarmegs, real name Peter Hedeman.
Old News:
2009-02-21
The Tela server crashed Friday night. I probably won't be able to reset it until Monday.
Use this directory listing to listen to shows until then.
I have been working on posting the 7,000 show backlog. The upload script is still a bit buggy and probably caused the crash.
2009-02-01
I have started to add new shows on a daily basis as of a few days ago. The system is still being debugged.
There is still a 7,000 show backlog that I need to get online. Once this debugging phase is completed I can start to chip away at uploading them.

FTP is available at night most nights and during the weekend, login information is below. Speeds will be very slow daytime and early evening, I try to remember to kick it up high for late night.
You will see a new diskdrive in the ftp listings called Lovelight which is where all new additions are now being added.
2008-12-07
We are still in the process of getting fully set up. In May 2008 when we went offline there were 22,000 shows available. The second wave of additions is delayed until other unrelated higher priority projects are cleared. The third wave which includes all shows I have added since May 2008, another 7,000 or so is rapidly building into a tidal wave. Sorry, but none of the second or third wave are available for streaming right now. You WILL find them however in our ftp, login information is below.
SOMETIMES THE TELA SERVER CRASHES, IF THAT HAPPENS AND THE database interface IS UNAVAILABLE THERE IS A DIRECTORY LISTING THAT CAN BE USED TO SELECT SHOWS. Its large (19,000 lines) and may take some time to load.
The database interface is active and streaming with 19,000 of the 22,000 shows that were available pre May 2008 when we went offline. There will be a second wave of additions sometime in October but rapidly slipping to November (lol january of 2009 perhaps...) bringing us back up to 22,000. After that a third wave to include all shows added since May 2008, another 4,000 or so. Once that is acomplished we will begin adding and making available shows on a daily basis.
Clicking the .asx link on any search result page should cause Windows Media Player to open and display a SugarMegs banner, play 6 seconds of intro music over a poem, then display a setlist along with graphics (if any) while playing the requested show.
Where you see download links on the search result pages you may have to right click to download.
You can also use FTP to access the tela server directly including all that has been added after May 2008. Using an ftp client program like Filezilla point it to:
tela.sugarmegs.org
login goldenroad
pw unlimited
Expect VERY slow FTP speeds daytime NYC business hours. I up the bandwidth night time and weekends.
