    - 31/01/05 BUG FIXES

    Some invisible administrative options and bug fixes have been done concerning photo galleries and it's all now finally working 100% (of course, there can be bugs so let me know if you encounter some, and I'll call in the ex-terminator)

    - 18/01/05 WEBSITE UPDATED

    The website has been refreshed with a new look and lots of new coding has been done as well! Some bugs still remain that are to be fixed but you can take a look ie. on the revised photogallery

    - 14/01/05 NEWS

    The website is back online again and is now settled on a new server. Many links are still broken but hopefully we'll get to see some changes on the site in overall during the next week

    - 07/01/05 NEWS

    The old domain will be closed on 10.1. and this will probably cause the website to disappear for some time (will work at address www.sci.fi/~jolex for the time being). I've fixed some MP3 download links but ie. photos and some videos are still unavailable and I'm looking forwards in to fixing this problem also after the new domain is settled.

    - 31/08/04 WORLD PREMIERE OF THE 1ST MOBILE MUSIC VIDEO AT OULU MUSIC VIDEO FESTS
    The music video was made with my mobile remix of the finnish megahit
    "Don Johnson Big Band - One Mc, One Delay" which is based on the original
    Donnell & Douglas remix I made earlier last year!


    A1 Music proudly presents the first music video in the world that is especially designed for
    mobile phones. The song is Platinum selling Don Johnson Big Band’s 'One MC, One delay'.
    The mobile video works at Series 60 platform mobilephones: Nokia 3650, 3660, 6600, 7610,
    7650, N-Gage, N-Gage QD and Siemens SX1.

    Mobile music video is a realtime animation and it differs from the original music video by
    content, structure and implementation. In the production there has been used a whole new
    technology which allows the size of the music video file to be only 300 kilobytes including
    music. Duration of the song and the music video is two minutes.

    You can download the video free of charge during the festival from TeliaSonera´s iJack
    stands located in the festival area and from this site (August 27 - September 2).

    Don Johnson Big Band was awarded for the BEST SONG ("One MC, One Delay") and the
    BEST HIPHOP / DANCE ALBUM ("Breaking Daylight") in the Finnish Music Awards 2004
    and is one of the most succesfull bands in Finland at the moment.

    - 13/07/04 Huh been absent for two weeks now. Had a nice shipcruise with my girl friend and step
    daughter last week and we visited places where I had spent a lot of time when I was little.

    productions. Things look good already by now :)

    the new place. More specs coming up after we're settled ;)
