I post too!

Julie feels that we don’t post enough, but I try now and again to do so. I’ve just been locked away in my room writing lately. That’s been going pretty well though. Of course as always the plot of the play is nothing like what I started with. It’s amazing how it seems almost impossible to write the play you set out to write. I was going to write a long tirade about something last night, but I’ve forgotten what it was.

Jalapenos

Ouch jalapenos hurt. I think that you are perhaps supposed to chop them wearing plastic gloves, cause you can’t get the oil off just by washing your hands. I’ve now got them in my lungs. I touched my lips last night and burned my lips. I got them in my eyes and had a dickens of a time getting my contacts in this morning. Those things are evil…

ah yes… the only good reason to smear a paste made of flour and milk all over your face, inside your nose and ears, and snort heavy cream like it’s cocaine…

The Rest of the Season

Loaded Gun Theory is currently working on the rest of this years’ season. We’re hoping to get in a Slapdash Flimflammery III and there will be a new play by Timothy Thomas in August. Watch this space for important news.

Attention Mac Users

Well, really I’m talking to Ian. I’ve fixed up some of the more glaring Safari bugs. Let me know what still doesn’t work for you.

Ok, Tim… here’s my rundown… testing the website on Safari, I’m still having transparency/readability issues with text, especially sections that are grey on grey, like the mission statement. When trying to edit pages, in Safari I still get a Java script pop-up about incompatibility with less than Mozilla 1.3 beta and then am unable to edit pages. I get the same error message when doing blog entries or comments, but those seem to post and save. With neither edit screen do I get any formatting controls.

On the other hand, testing in Firefox… the readability is better… text is larger, don’t get any Java error, and am able to post and save comments and blog entries and do have formatting controls available when editing.  When editing a page, I can make edits, click update and it will apparently update, but I’m stuck in edit mode when viewing any page until I hit cancel.  Is that how you want it?

Finally testing in MSIE… don’t have the readability and transparency issues that Safari has, but have all the same editing problems, without getting any Java error message. Just can’t seem to edit pages and don’t have formatting controls. It does work pretty well in Firefox, but if you’re looking for cross-brower compatibility there are still things that aren’t working yet… and I’m pretty sure I’m working with the most updated versions of each of those browsers.

Well I was testing on Konqueror. I guess I’ll have to boot up the iMac and see what I can do…

Oh, now that’s interesting… when refreshing in Safari it causes a resend and repost of my last comment post.

I think you can do that in most browsers. That’s just the way the site is programmed.

Knocked out those transparency problems. Thanks to Jeff for the Mac. Now our site is actually attractive in Safari (if I do say so myself). this also fixes the editing bug you were having Ian. Unfortunately adding a WYSIWYG editor is not really possible in Safari right now. I’ll look into perhaps adding a java one.

Thursday Song of the Day

Today’s Band of the Day sounds quite a bit like Cursive with a tad less dramatics. They’re called Murder By Death and the song is Killbot 2000 (any song by that name can’t be bad). Here’s your happy link to the song. They’re playing:

Wednesday, March 16 1:00 a.m.
Sake on Sixth (621 E 6th St)

Late band of the day

Ok, so I’m late for the band of the day for yesterday. Here it is now. While the Greyhounds are not my type of band, this song has been stuck in my head now for days.

Tuesday\'s Band of the Day

Ok, so today’s band is Bloc Party. They’re quite a bit of fun, and they’re playing at Stubbs with Kasabian who are also horribly infectious. Link to Bloc Party’s Banquet here. They’re playing Friday at midnight at Stubbs.

Band of the Day

I’m going to try to do a band a day from now to SXSW. Today’s is Sunshine. They’re cool. Here’s their link. They’re playing Friday March 18th at the Lava Lounge Patio at midnight.

Assacre- really good speed metal, if you’re into that.  Reminds me of Ministry circa N.W.O. 

We Are Scientists - like it, might be a bit repetitive

North Korea has Nuclear Weapons

Guess if you talk like a gun-slinger you gotta be ready to kill all the bad guys. And you better be ready to go it alone, cause all your friends just got killed in Act II.
