Open Thread, and New Update at TSO

[filkertom]

Sorry for the delay, gang, but I've been spit-shining MP3 files for the past three days. Got 'em decent, though, as well as a new song. Meantime, this is likely to be it until sometime Thursday, so Open Thread it is.

Did you know Firefly was going to be a major motion picture?

Looking forward to when the link to the new concert album download is available. All I could find on the Buy Stuff page was the old albums (and I own those already).

There's a fan site dedicated to "Firefly," www.fireflyfans.net, which posts any news available about the "Serenity" movie. Also has forums and a filk page. I'm impressed that all the original cast from the cruelly canceled TV show have signed on for the film -- evidence of a labor of love.

Hmmm. That's weird. It's there right now -- at the bottom of the "Secure Downloads - Other" section. Sez "Live at GaFilk 2001". (Had a technical problem last night, and I had to upload it all over again around 9:30, so maybe it's a good thing you hadn't found the link yet.)

Well, I added the downloadable album to the top of the Albums list, so it's much more prominent now. See? Feedback is a very good thing.

Um...downloadable album?

Way cool.

Just Paypalled for the downloadable album; can't wait to listen to it! How long do you think it'll take before I receive the download link? Not that there's a hurry, of course... Just wondering :)

Re: Shiny

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Ummm... it should already be there. I receive a copy of every automatic payment link/e-mail, exactly in case of problems like this. And you're paid; I checked with PayPal. Have you received the link e-mail yet?

Re: Shiny

[ladyjeanetta.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't gotten the link... If you could please re-send it, I'd be much obliged.

Thanks much!

Re: Shiny

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Just re-sent it to jcjordan2@bsu.edu. Let me know if all is good....

Re: Shiny

[ladyjeanetta.livejournal.com]

Ye know, sometimes I just *despise* technology... and I think it feels the same way about me. See, I had it set up so my jcjordan2 email would be automatically forwarded to an email address I use more often, but it appears that this is no longer working...

Terribly sorry for the hassle. If you could please send the link to goddessdream@hotmail.com, I'd appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'm going to con one of the friendly neighborhood geeks into figuring out what I'm doing wrong with my computer. Thanks a bunch! Sorry again for my technological incompetence...

Not a problem. And not even a tech issue, as such; I've got at least thre active e-mail accounts and about five defunct ones that still spring surprises on me now and again.

Re-sent the link -- keep me posted!

Very simple. All it does is show Rummy at his most vulnerable -- confronted with his own lies, on camera.

Here's an interesting item

from mad_scientist, about subvocal speeach phones that NASA developes.
I hope they develope it soon. The cellphone noise here in Israel is overwhelming, almost everyone here has at least one phone. Not to mention that many Israelis are so impolite that they talk on their cellphone everywhere - even cinema and theater. Gahh
