Don’t think about all those things you fear. Just be glad to be here.

So, I tried to use a certain popular media player on Sedition·com a few months ago and it caused the site to freeze the browser for all users of IE. Boo.
I’m trying a new one based on the superlative jQuery library.
Please try it and let me know if you have problems or can’t even see it.

A Giant Oak stood near a brook in which grew some slender Reeds. When the wind blew, the great Oak stood proudly upright with its hundred arms uplifted to the sky. But the Reeds bowed low in the wind and sang a sad and mournful song.
“You have reason to complain,” said the Oak. “The slightest breeze that ruffles the surface of the water makes you bow your heads, while I, the mighty Oak, stand upright and firm before the howling tempest.”
“Do not worry about us,” replied the Reeds. “The winds do not harm us. We bow before them and so we do not break. You, in all your pride and strength, have so far resisted their blows. But the end is coming.”
As the Reeds spoke a great hurricane rushed out of the north. The Oak stood proudly and fought against the storm, while the yielding Reeds bowed low. The wind redoubled in fury, and all at once the great tree fell, torn up by the roots, and lay among the pitying Reeds.
Take that, subspace.

Works well with Opera, Camino and Safari. It's pretty, too.

Re: Media plugin test
Thanks, boss. I might finally get off my duff and starting putting more music and media up. Seems quite popular nowadays with the kids. :) If I could sing that song without embarrassing myself I’d put it all up; the lyrics are quite nice.

All the things about that situation which were gratefully left behind seem almost worthwhile sometimes.

That's right and good news. There's no picture/video, just the music. There is a bit of video here—Seattle is the new Aspen.

Re: Media plugin test
IE7 user: first try, "plug in failed to initialise" so i was going to gleefully moan to Sedition as is my wont. tried it again and it worked fine, so to the fainthearted like me, kick the tyres twice and dont be so feeble.
yes, baas - all systems go this end.
ps: my laptop needs reformatting and i am taking it to a dutch goddess with umpteen certs in puter sci. she told me, big mistake to have downloaded IE7, clogger. for what thats worth.
