Tom,

I was just thinking about your site today. Could you give us an update on what is going on? Are they still bugging you?

Yeah, IUMA seems like what I'm going to go with, provided that they let me upload lots of songs. Downsides: You don't get to be as creative with your page (although I like the "pirate" theme a lot, heh), and the uploading is not compatible with anything but IE. But uploading is fast (1 step) and they have a "stream all songs" and even a way to separate song lists into albums.

Well, from what I can tell, they (mp3.com) are (is) trying to make it look like a cushy deal to get your first 50 downloads free if you become a (paying, presumably) member... Maybe you could pick one that would be best for the AAD community cause it would be cool to have most of them all in one place. At the moment I'm liking IUMA... Oh man it's gonna take me so long to move all these songs with a 56k modem...

vitaminic.com looks promising, too. Very confusing web page, though!

I think downloads are still free. Are you looking at the emusic plug? (?) Vivendi will do anything to try to get people to pay for music again...

Wow, they aren't even letting people download more than 50 mp3's for free. Pretty ridiculous, I think. If that iuma.com thing works out, post a little plug for it so I can move my stuff over...

I can always host my own stuff, yeah. It's nice to have them in a sort of community where people can go searching for music and randomly find you. Mainly, I want a place where people who do the Album-a-Day project can upload their songs for free, because most of them don't have office computers with fast permanent internet connections! Right now, iuma.com is lookin' pretty good...

Why not host them on your own PC? Or secretly stash them on a CMU box?

Neat!

You can't run it by double-clicking an icon; you have to start up a command prompt (MS-DOS prompt) and run it from there. You can do this by going start...run... "cmd" (win xp) or "command" (win98). Then you should cd to the directory where the program is (the font has to be there too), and run it. ie:

cd \downloads\embed\
embed tomsnr.ttf

located the Grow Fins Beefheart box new for 59 bucks (on half.com)...
they had a few more in the 60+ range, in case you were interested. (which beats the 80-90 dollar range they go for in stores).

That is really cool!
The 'd' option on the white background looks exactly like C.elegans!
Yum!

How do I make a drumset out of little pieces of plexiglass? It shatters pretty easily when I strike it...

In the time of the English, around the 1750s. Before that it just was a fort, founded by the british, conquered by the french, and then reconquered by the british. Pittsburgh is named after William Pitt, an english minister.

(just happened to read that in an encyclopaedia last week ;) )

I wonder when "Pittsburg" became "Pittsburgh".

"Remember, these guys aren't actually evil and don't actually want to make the world a worse place for you -- they just want your money."

Heh heh, well some would say that there is little (if any) difference between the two, particularly in this sort of context...
