"And They Say I've Got Talent" Now On Sale - CD Pre-Order WITH Download

[filkertom]

It's here.

My new album, And They Say I've Got Talent, is available for pre-order at my web site right now. The $20 price tag covers the CD, when we press it next month; shipping & handling; and the entire album as 128 Kbps MP3s, right now, as an immediate secure download (about 43-1/2 MB in a .zip file).

Lets give ol' Tom-boy a Hellz-Yeah. He's worked hard on this, and deserves some huge fan support.

On the only downside of alla this, I need to now adapt my Five Years Parody (Ye guys'll love it when Tom get's a chance to update Fan Lyrics.) to include this le-awesome event! (Boy howdy, how the crap am I gonna rhyme THIS one in..)

Now that I've got ATSIGT in the can, the web site revision, including Fan Lyrics, is on the short list. :)

Oh, my... and I started my new job this week. I will e-mail you separately, since I still have some credit for that one contest thing. It's time to put that and my upcoming first paycheck to good use. :D

PayPal hates me. Or you. Or someone.

I tried ordrering Talent, but when I went to the checkout, PayPal complained that:

Looks like it might be a cookie problem. You may want to add a warning about this on your web page.

Oh, and the confirmation message got caught both by Postini's spam filter (at my ISP's mail server) and in my personal spam trap. I don't know why Postini flagged it, but my filter caught it because it's HTML-only. If at all possible, you may want to consider sending mail as both plain text and HTML.

At any rate, I now have a bunch of MP3s that I didn't have before. Wheeeeee!

Hm. I'd have no idea how it works. The mysteries of how PayPal handles cookies elude me, and my site doesn't use 'em in any way.

And, I believe the secure script I'm using has both text and HTML options, but it's an either-or thing. So adjusting it for each order would kinda defeat the purpose of having it as automatic.

The situation is kinda typical -- I can't be ready for every single browser/e-mail program out there, so I try to keep it as generic as possible.

Fortunately, you did get the download. :)
