Welcome to my Domain, Welcome to my Darker Side...

Click a Link already, or visit the Web Store... >=]

The sites now have collectively over 20 million hits!
So many thanks for coming & a big thanks to those that keep coming back.
Always nice if you can support the site by giving a little via PayPal.  :)
 

Due to increasing Bandwidth theft because people are Hot linking my Images for use on Web Sites without permission I have had to disallow access for certain Desktop section pages and Password protect the Folders containing certain images, if you are still using the old links to view the Images please use the Gallery view link.

If the image you wish to view is not yet on the Gallery please inform me via the Forum and I will add it.

As you may also notice I have had to start placing Advertising on most pages to try and recoup some of the costs involved running the site and hosting the Smileys and Other Imagery.  I was left with little choice when the monthly Bandwidth used is now over 30 Gigs a month.

Upgrades and Site News:

O.K, so some people seem to prefer viewing at least a thumbnail of the desktops in the Desktops Mini Site. So I now upload my works to the php driven gallery version as it is faster and most people seem to prefer using that system. The current 56k Friendly Archive style Version will remain in place for now, though you will be given the option of which you want to Browse with.

You may now use this link here and Browse my Desktops that have so far been Uploaded and Added into it.
Images are in Categories and Classed by What Size they are or by Application/Process used to create them.
So FraxFlame fans can go straight to those and Bryce lovers can jump straight into the 3D goodies.

I am also toying with the notion of adding a few new Tutorials on there as well, for now the Simple Font Tutorial is up and Viewable in My Personal Webmaster Gallery Section.

As mentioned, this system is being tested and toyed with, hence it is on my Test Domain, as such not all Features are activated, so you can't yet Register. That is by Invitation only at the moment. It may however in the future change as I would like to try and start up a small web based gallery of artists.
Once the kinks and styling have been worked through and such, Registering should contain such benefits as Uploading privileges, Galleries and Private Galleries and a Forum for Registered Members Only for their Community Running and Operation.

As ever, the cost of Hosting the Desktops is growing, so if you can help out, please do so via

The Main News for this Area is the Release of Several G.T Smiley packs for phpBB Forums, each includes a .pak file and Instructions on how to Import them and what to do if you need Support using them.  I can also Inform you Webmasters and Forum Administrators that a Smiley Pack has been Submitted for Inclusion in the phpBB Image MOD's Database.  Look out for that when they next Validate the MOD Database Submissions Backlog.

For now though you can Download the New Smiley Packs and check out what is in them, both Zip and Rar formats are available. As ever, the server fee climbs every month.  =/
That Means more of you feckers are posting them though! 
So, if you use them a lot, Give a Little huh.  (:

This are is still being Created so it is a bit rough around the edges and is not how it will be when Completed.
It is only Viewable because some of the Members and Regular Surfers of this Site complained when I took it down as I didn't have chance to fully upgrade it when it was changed over from the old server. The Flash Elements work however, and several of the parts can be read in rough format and one section is even in half decent shape. I will sort it when I get time I promise, it is on my To Do list...

ganjatazFM - (What is ganjatazFM?)

I am toying with the notion of starting ganjatazFM back up, if I can sort out my Web casting abilities and some ISP issues I could encounter, more on that later.  Till then, check out the Forums for latest D.J-W.T.F? mixes and works.  Links to my Mixes and of other Resident D.J's on my boards are posted, and links for new works will also be posted as and when they become available for download/listening/sampling.

If you can provide or fund a fulltime Web Casting enabled server please give me a shout.  Throw in a License and we will make sure you get a return deal in sponsorship PR back from us that will create a small media frenzy and upwards.  Set the station up with a Custom system that can broadcast 24/7 and compete and we will get you an audience...  If you can't go the whole hog and get us back on the air in a serious manner, help us out with hardware or other stuff you may have lying around that you don't want or need.  Anything that helps power or upgrade both our PC Hardware or Server side capabilities is always welcome.  If you can't offer Either, Paypal a few quid and help pay for the bandwidth the site uses, become a member of the Forums and support the Cause for Good quality music from Fresh new Music Makers and Veteran D.J's alike.

As the Community using this Web Site has a few Internet D.J's and main stream "Big Room" D.J's, I think we could already cover a full weeks rota for both Production Staff and D.J's.  So all we would need is enough to Fund/Start the Cast and the rest could running full power in no time.  If you can sponsor the Start of the Station we would carry advertising for you as our sponsor in line with our unique station brand and Flavour in format and music content.

More about this and other ganjatazFM matters via the Forums please, or through a PM with Taz.

What is/was ganjatazFM?

ganjatazFM was the Station ID from my Internet Web Casting days.  I used to Web Cast a live Internet Radio Station direct from my PC to Listeners who would Tune into my Station Broadcast at home or at work, depending where their Internet Connection was.  I played mainly Old Skool Dance and Rave, right through to the Best of Modern Dance with some Chilled out or eclectic blends and mixes.  Thrown into the mix would be special broadcasts of D.J-W.T.F? Mixes and Remixes, or bootleg edits and White Label versions.  The station mainly went out at the weekends and was for the returning clubber with a bit of steam left who wanted some good hard tunes when they get home.  It would also cater for the clubbers come down listeners later into the night and weekend.  The Listeners could contact myself via Messenger or E-Mail and select songs or carry on dialogue with myself about the station and music, or the performance and stability of the signal/broadcast.

It was only brought to an end because of ISP issues, so I couldn't broadcast any more.  =/

Welcome into the Webmaster World Rob.  His site can be found at www.darksides.co.uk

Worth a visit just to see what he has been making with Bryce or his latest Smileys. =]

[ and it saves on him nagging me for image hosting ]  ;)
