Good morning,

Thanks to Dawne and a few other people yesterday. The site was offline from about 10AM until close to 6PM due to a server outage and partial hack into our server. The issue has now been resolved.

Thanks! -Aris

KI-Radio Down for Maintenance posted by Aris on 10-23-2009 06:16
Hey Folks,

Sorry about the down time for KI-Radio. My friend was working on the server and didn't tell me he was going to be doing so. The radio hasn't been live since around 4:03PM yesterday. He has to install some security software, as well as some other server updates. This actually gives me time to add about 30-40 new songs to the database for your enjoyment.

It *should* be back up later tonight, if not sometime tomorrow. Thanks for all that e-mailed to tell me. I'm glad you all are enjoying this!

KI-Radio posted by Aris on 10-03-2009 20:27
Hey Folks!

So far we've had great uptime since it launched on September 13. We haven't been down at all. I just wanted to let you know once in a while a song may play twice, that just happens to occur once in a while as this playlist is in shuffle mode. I can't really fix this.

Also, I will be adding some new music each week. I have a lot to add from 1991-93 so that's what will be added here and there. I have about 150-ish songs to add so I'll trickle them in.

I've received a lot of feedback and I'm glad everyone is enjoying it!

KI-Radio is up and running! posted by Aris on 09-26-2009 09:28
A 24/7 KIDS Incorporated Radio stream is here! I am happy to say after a lot of testing we are ready to launch live!

Here are some pros:
  • 24/7 live stream of KIDS Incorporated
  • Constant rotation of songs currently encoded from the series (About 650)
  • High Quality Audio
  • Song titles and Artist Name

Below are the cons:
  • You cannot fast forward or rewind a song at this time
  • The radio is capped at no more than 10 users at any given time to see how well it handles server load until we go higher

Still interested? If you have Winamp, then load it up and go to FILE, PLAY URL, and type in (or copy and paste) http://24.61.63.195:8000 then click OPEN and VOILA! You'll have a nice, clear, fun KI-Radio stream!

If you have WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, go to File, OPEN URL, and type in http://24.61.63.195:8000then Ok/Play depending on version.

Finally, for iTunes listeners, go to ADVANCED, Open AudioStream, the type in the URL http://24.61.63.195:8000then click Ok, Play, Load depending on version.

Please send me feedback or questions at aris@kidsincorporated.us if you are having any issues or have questions about this.

Enjoy!

25th Anniversary! posted by Aris on 09-07-2009 17:59
Today is the 25th anniversary of KIDS Incorporated from when it first aired on tv. This week we will be launching the KIDS Incorporated radio server so that you can have 24 hours a day of KIDS Incorporated music! Towards the end of the month we will also be launching the KIDS Incorporated wiki.

At the end of this year, we have a KIDS Incorporated special that I will post for the new year. It will be very exciting and has been 4 months in the making so far!

Updates will resume shortly. Thanks for everyone's support and continued interest in the KIDS Incorporated fandom!

KI-Radio Server Down posted by Aris on 04-28-2009 12:34
10:57PM: The server is back up and running.

As of 3:29PM today the KI-Radio server is down. It appears to have overheated again, which means my central air didn't kick on yet at home. Again, be mindful it's in testing and will be fully functional when moved to an actual server. I expect it to be in testing for a good 1 to 3 months to work out all necessary bugs and test out additional features.

Want to listen to the new KI-Radio aside from the one on the site above? You'll need to download Winamp if you do not already have it. You can get it here. You need only download the free version. After you've downloaded and installed Winamp, load Winamp up. Then go to FILE, PLAY URL, and type in (or copy and paste) http://98.118.51.167 then click OPEN and VOILA! You'll have a nice, clear, fun KI-Radio stream!

***Please note this is only for PC users. We do not have support for Apple products yet***

Please send me feedback or questions at aris@kidsincorporated.us if you are having any issues or have questions about this.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday, Jerry! posted by Aris on 04-28-2009 05:58
Let's all wish Jerry Sharell (Mickey from Season 1) a very Happy Birthday today! We love you, Jerry! Hope it's a wonderful day!

On a side note, the KI-Radio server has been up and running for a day and a half now. I do expect some down time today as the server may shut off due to over heating as I forgot to put the A/C on today at the house. It'll be 90 degrees today in Boston. Woops!

Again, please be mindful we are still in test mode on this. What's everyone's thoughts so far on the KI-Radio server? Feel free to leave any comments in the comments link below or e-mail me at aris@kidsincorporated.us

BETA Testing new KI-Radio Server posted by Aris on 04-26-2009 07:07
So as I said in my previous post we are going to offer a 24/7 KIDS Incorporated Radio stream brought to you through your computers. I am happy to say that it is LIVE in beta testing right now.

Here are some pros:
  • 24/7 live stream of KIDS Incorporated
  • Constant rotation of songs currently encoded from the series (About 650)
  • High Quality Audio
  • Song titles and Artist Name

Below are the cons:
  • You cannot fast forward or rewind a song at this time
  • The radio is capped at no more than 30 users at any given time to see how well it handles server load until we go higher
  • Apple users cannot use the live radio stream at this time due to a technology issue (this will be resolved soon)

Still interested? Great! You'll need to download Winamp if you do not already have it. You can get it here. You need only download the free version. After you've downloaded and installed Winamp, load Winamp up. Then go to FILE, PLAY URL, and type in (or copy and paste) http://98.118.51.167 then click OPEN and VOILA! You'll have a nice, clear, fun KI-Radio stream!

Please send me feedback or questions at aris@kidsincorporated.us if you are having any issues or have questions about this.

Enjoy!

Note: The server may not be available at times due to my laptop shutting off. It's an old laptop and I'm only testing it on this. It'll be on a home built server otherwise once testing is done. If you find it's unavailable, try again later. It's 1:28PM right now and it is up and running.

Exciting News! posted by Aris on 03-23-2009 07:06
Good day to you all! We have some exciting news. First off, it's my birthday today! Yay! Happy 28th birthday to me!

Secondly, we are planning a new site design in the coming months that will be easier to navigate though and be a bit faster than it is now with improved download speeds.

We are also working on improvements to KI-Radio where you will be able to constantly stream KIDS Incorporated music 24 hours a day 7 days a week soon so that you can listen to it whenever you want!

Video clips will still be present on here but may shift new clips to YouTUBE to withhold bandwidth on here. I am still figuring out logistics.

We will also be posting all four albums on here for your downloading pleasure that will be remastered for your listening pleasure!

And last but not least, we are working on a 25th anniversary KIDS Incorporated special that will debut on the original air date of the show. It will have interviews with KIDS Incorporated fans in the Boston area sharing their memories on the show, and include stuff from other fans. We don't want to give too much away but there will be other surprises in the special itself!

Thanks for all of the support everyone! It is truly appreciated!

It's that time of year for the famous 1984 episode "Ghost of the P*lace" where Stacy befriends a ghost (played by Riley) and helps him get into the Ghost Society. This year we have the clip in even higher quality with a 480x360 viewing window and barely any compression marks so that you can all enjoy this episode in high quality!

The episode is a zipped 322MB and is optimized for Windows Media Player (WMV). You can download the file here. Enjoy!

I think it's time to update the site. What do you think? I've been away for the last few weeks and had some family and personal stuff to attend to. I'm also working on a new site design. I'll be posting updates this week for sure.

If not, you can have BILLY THE GWEEB come after me. We all know that he's the King of Dorks...I'll probably turn into a nerd!!!

Disney's new and hopeful next High School Musical incarnation titled Camp Rock has a great, catchy soundtrack and KIDS Incorporated Alumn Renee Sandstrom has her own single on it! The character Peggy in Camp Rock lip syncs to this song. You can purchase the soundtrack at most media outlets. Special thanks to Tina for this news item!
