You thought this would be a dance lesson, things were easier then. No marimbas, no clarinets; only a longing for the fun to begin.
Rain came down.
Nothing seems as remote as the days you didn’t have to think about it: always already there, gushing out.
Control was required to stop ideas from overflowing.
You did your job well, you killed them as one kills Easter baby chickens.

- Monica de la Torre.

    for some reason i cannot stream the audio files on my netbook. i am using windows xp and ie 7. i just get the message “loading…tag this”. what are the minimum requirements for making this player work? btw the wordpress player works perfectly.

  6. squashed said, March 24, 2009 @ 2:52 pm

    The player uses flash. (so you need to have flash player installed) Sometimes when the server is overloading, it takes awhile for the stream to start.

    aside from that I highly recommend voiding IE. (user firefox and load it up with script, cookie and the rest of filters.)

    Thanks for the kind comments everybody.

    Alex: as far as I remember the delicious playtagger (which is the one we use) doesn’t work properly with IE, I have some free time this week so I’ll try to find out how to fix this particular problem.
