Today, this website have 5 years old.

No really exciting news because, i have no time this last days (/months? ) to update seriously the place.

Anyway,  i wrote this special post to celebrate the little community.

This year was not very active for this site, probably the consequencies of my actual real life/job .

I think to purpose you an evolution of a community site / interactive zone in middle of 2010 maybe more early, maybe more later… i don't know.

It's amazing that this post is the 1000th!  / perfect number to stop or continue will 1000 others…

I hope that in 2010,we will see new fatboyslim fan websites… 

So for the moment, keep an eye on quiet & friendly FATboard…

Thanks for your support.

More updates of normancook.info are managed for this next weeks .

Ok this new version of blog is always in construction, but i was obliged to update all the engine.
I decided to completly change the plateform of the blog. (yeah i know why a 31 december? well probably because when you are drunked you don’t think to the consequencies and all the problems it could generate he he..) It’s run under wordpress now. This change is for me the first step of the construction of the new generation of nc.info site. The old blog was good but completly buggy. Now you can login / register to comment in this blog and maybe later participate to the life of the blog. More features will come soon. (Let me learn & enjoy development he he ).

Sorry for the hard transition but sometimes we need to take decisions and provocate movement!
The good thing: i success to backup all databases of the old blog (and precious comments), we will have now a stable start to construct a better dynamic website.

The problem: we should meet some technical problems during few weeks (broken links.. bugs.. shity design..need to add all categories .. glups) but don’t worry, i’m sure that you are ready for the adventure…
(damn need to tag all posts and put them in new categories..)

The FATboard stay open.

Note: for the redactors team, your account are still active…

It’s with emotion that today we can celebrate the 4th birthday of this website.
I can’t say how many hours i lost to construct it.
 

2008: The FATboard & community development

If we have something to retain of 2008, it’s the creation of the board. I knew that 2008 will be different for me, about work, hobbies activities and i was ready to stop my animator function. The idea of a board came simply to stay connected with fbs news and friends. A website need to be animated and updated frequently to stay alive. This last months, i have to admit that I was near to don’t renew the hosting of the nc.info and let it go away in glory! But i definitely killed this idea when i saw the little community always active in board and blog. We have all one day moments of doubts . So the hosting of nc.info is renewed for one year. Hope we could purpose again exclusive sets of Norm and construct THE website of our dreams .

New job = new rythm
Since september, the updates are less frequent: my new work in real life take me too much time. I’ve never planned to have those new responsabilities and always thought that i will have time to continue blogging…
As you can see, it’s now only the week end that i find some minutes to retox…
So it’s sad but i didn’t prepare any surprises or new design..or new site for this birthday.

Statitics:
Better audience: 30.000 visitors for the month of june.
Average audience: 15.000 visitors by month.
More 1000 streaming videos…
More 950 posts in the blog
Near 10 gigas of datas.
New server which can receive 5O gigas…

Normancook.info in 2009

Normancook.info will need to include bpa materials…

I have always the project to update the old structure and include a search engine for discography. All is possible, only need time but i think little by little the site will be the best encyclopedia. I will probably merge the wiki and the new website. All is in standby but ready in my mind, i know how i can (and could) do that (thanks to my new job).

Thanks
Thanks is the word i used the most during this 4 years because i think its important to respect people who share info, docs, music. If you are not there, the site have no need to exist. So thanks again to all people who folow me since the begining or who join us…woka, darko, obeseboyslim, bracken, errorup, zenit, surfacetoair, bigbeat, vambo, acidfunk, filter, Ahmedofchoice, Blake, Simon Th, SPF, jOSse, DCDJ, Sully, MrFrog, fatboytim, borsucsy, Crazylonghair, lordraphael, doxliy, paxus, dja, stab, MrNYC.. …the list is so large that i will probably forgot somes (sorry..).

Cheers from France,

FND

Well, you can see a new background of nc.info, don’t worry, its only the sign of some new updates which will come in few weeks… but don’t wait after a big storm, just a less dark design and probably an update of the static "home" site with integration of "The BPA".
I’m not very active this time for the site but i’m still there and i’m working in backstage. I just finished the addition of The BPA video page, not easy to work in the old structure of nc.info. The project of dynamic website is not planned, i’ve too much work this time (until december!) so unfortunatey, i’m sure that some members of those community will go away.. only hardcore fans will probably continue the adventures with me (isn’t it? ..so welcome to survivor fnd’s island ).

Have a good week end!
