I’ve just received the below email from the official Red Dwarf Fan Club regarding this years Dimension Jump

After much deliberation the Fan Club team has decided that Dimension Jump XVI will be postponed until April 8^th, 9^th and 10^th 2011. Unfortunately the number of registrations we have received up until this point is too low for us to be able to go ahead with this year’s event. Any registrations made so far will be valid for the new date. However, we appreciate that the new date may not be suitable for everyone, so if you wish to cancel your registration you may do so for a full refund until Saturday 31^st July 2010. Please email red___dwarf@hotmail.co.uk to request your refund. Any cancellation requests received between the 1^stAugust 2010- 28^th February 2011 will be entitled to the standard 50% refund. If you cancel a current registration now and decide to repurchase later you will be liable to pay the current registration rate. The venue will be the same but any hotel bookings will need to be amended. Please call the hotel directly on: +44 (0)121 6346202 or +44 (0)121 6346223. They are aware of the postponement and will help you to change your booking if you wish to do so. The Holiday Inn, Birmingham have advised us of a forthcoming price change, so rooms for April 2011 will be £70 for a single and £84 for a twin/double, both prices include breakfast.  Please note: If you wish to cancel completely you still need to contact the hotel to cancel your room booking. Thank you for your patience – we’re just as disappointed as you that we’re unable to hold a convention this year, but we hope to see you all in April for the best DJ yet!

Best wishes

The Fan Club team

As you are probably aware, the aggregator we used to automatically pull through the feeds into this site, and then into the Fictionshed site, was a little glitchy…to say the least.

Some weeks it would work fine, the next week, it would create 5 posts for the same with the same information, which the got tweeted out to the world.

We used to use a WordPress plugin called WP-O-Matic, which on paper was a fantastic fantastic plugin, but in reality, it’s a pain in the butt.

We are now trying a new plugin called FeedWordPress.

Essentially, when we upload a new episode to the podbean site, this plugin will check the RSS feed for updates, when there are new posts, it will post them here. I’ve updated the same software on the Fictionshed site, which will aggregate the feeds on this sites, as well as anything on the Eccentricast podbean site, Novo Babylonia podbean site, and Fictionshed podbean site, which is finally aggregated on the Facebook fan page.

If all works as expected, this post should post to twitter (under the RedDwarfForum twitter account), post to Myspace (on the RedDwarfForum page), update the Fictionshed site, which will then post to Twitter (under the Fictionshed twitter account), post to MySpace (on the Fictionshed page), and finally be pulling into Facebook…..

Fingers crossed
