Hi there. Hope progmom has it. I found out she doesn't have every jazz album.(!)

How've ya been WIMR?

--IMM

[WritingIsMyReligion]

Annoyed and irked at school of late, but still alive.

But I'm here now! ;)

[arwalden]

Or would it be appropriate?

[progmom]

14. oh i LOVE LOVE LOVE that!!

propellerhead.

but i don't have it here. on my ipod, yes, but not in a format i can play on the radio.

but hmmm...lemme see if i have something i could play that you might like nearly as much.

[arwalden]

16. Weren't There Links For Other Media Players OTHER Than...

... the "RealPlayer"? I think I remember seeing links for using Windows Media Player and/or the WinAmp media player... but I can't locate those now. :cry:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. They DID change their website up....

I'm sorry you're having trouble, arwalden.

:cry:

:hi:

[TroubleMan]

18. Use real alternative

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm


Free, and none of that real player crap running on you computer.

[immoderate]

23. Thanks for that.

RealPlayer hobbled my computer once before. It seems OK now, I reloaded it gingerly, but I don't trust them.

--IMM

[arwalden]

44. Very Nice!! --- Thank You!!

I loathe RealPlayer... its popularity baffles me.

[Misunderestimator]

19. The link at the top left ,"Listen Now," *should* have a drop-down...

with other formats/players to choose. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work right now, although it did earlier... like a few minutes ago... Weird. They must be changing the site still.

[arwalden]

20. Okay... Thanks! It's Not Working For Me Either...

... thanks for the confirmation that it's not my imagination... and it's not ONLY my browser that's screwing up the display. :hi:

[TroubleMan]

21. Here's the direct link

http://wemu.org/wemu.ram

It's a real player link, but you can use real alternative.

[Misunderestimator]

22. Edited... and edited again

I had the site loaded in the background in another window and it worked to float the cursor over "Listen Now"... brought up a drop-down of other formats. But when I reloaded the page, it doesn't work. Weird. x(

[arwalden]

24. You Were Probably Viewing A Previously Cached Page The First Time...

... your browser loaded a working *copy* of the page (from an earlier visit to that site) that was stored on your PC. That's why it worked for you at first.

When you re-loaded or refreshed the browser screen, you forced the browser to visit the actual site to get the latest updated page... the one that happens to NOT be working properly... and now that's what you're viewing.

The broken page is now in your cache (as the most recent version of the home page) and until you do a forced "refresh", your browser will probably display the broken page even AFTER the actual home page has been fixed.

I've configured my browser not to store pages in its internal cache and instead to check for new versions of a page for every single visit to a site. (There are benefits for both methods, but I prefer to view the most current page. In this case however, a previous (working) version would have been better.)

[Misunderestimator]

25. Yes, it was the cached page.

My browser's configured the same way... That page was just in the background (in another instance of the browser) from the first time I loaded it today.

[1gobluedem]

55. We're working on the site today, sorry...

The design and layout have changed and the webmasters are busy 'tweaking.'

[progmom]

57. hey you

are you down the hall?

[1gobluedem]

60. I am

But you know that now...

[immoderate]

59. Hi, 1

:hi:

--IMM

[1gobluedem]

61. Hi IMM

:hi: Trying to get tons of work finished so I can take two weeks off so I'm wasting a beautiful Saturday in the office.

But listening to Progmom helps!

[immoderate]

65. Enjoy your vacation!

Take your radio.

--IMM

[Misunderestimator]

68. You could have picked a better time to tweak! :)

:hi:

You should get out in the sunshine! It's gorgeous outside.

[1gobluedem]

69. The tweaking is out of my hands

The web guys are the tweakers...I didn't know they were going to tweak until today....

Tweaking is beyond my ability.

Will go outside when the mountain of work becomes a molehill.....:hi:

[arwalden]

71. Well It Appears To Be Working NOW...

... now that Jessica's show is over.

Coincidence?

[immoderate]

39. That "Con Alma" is GREAT! Never heard it sung!

Obviously one of my favorite tunes.

--IMM

[progmom]

49. chose it for you

:hi:

[immoderate]

53. Yeah, you know my buttons. That Ella...

I want to name all the songs she quotes. Lessee, Peanut Vendor, On the Trail, Ornithology, of course, and too many others.

Great stuff. Thanks.

--IMM

[immoderate]

62. Oops wrong place.

[Telly Savalas]

40. Just in case Progspawn didn't get his request in for the week...

can you play some Bird?

[progmom]

50. didja hear it?

:D

[Telly Savalas]

51. Yes!

Thanks! :hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

42. L-O-fucking-L!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

You SLAY me, prog!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

:loveya:

[progmom]

45. and check this out

the chord changes for the two songs are the same. ;)

i'm playing ornithology, which was based on the changes to how high the moon. :bounce:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

46. You are GOOD.

Really good.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

:D :D

:rofl:

[libnnc]

[libnnc]

52. Beautimus. Just beautimusly, beautimus.

73 and so, so sunny. :bounce:

[progmom]

58. glad to hear it!

we're a bit cooler but the sun makes everything feel better. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

47. Ah, yes....

:yourock:

On Edit: I just always have to wonder how the hell Ella does this.... :wow:

[progmom]

54. she was truly amazing

such a voice, and such chops. i think her only downfall was the way lyrics took a backseat to melody for her - she wasn't always the best ballad singer for that reason. but her chops....damn.

[immoderate]

63. A fine show. Thank you.

--IMM:)

[progmom]

67. thanks IMM!

:loveya:

[arwalden]

64. That Was Fun... I Enjoyed Hearing Carmen McRea

[Call Me Wesley]

70. Great show!

Thank you! :hug:
