“Yes: Hurry it up, you Hoosier bastard! I could kill ten men while you’re fooling around!”

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.

So....Sed.
Did you come out on the winning end with $GME stonks?
Are you still holding your shares?
Been a long time. America is still alive and uhm, well, present, since we last spoke. Hope you and your fam have been well during this time brother.

[Sed · I didn’t get anything out of the $GME thing but my mom did! Crazy story. She bought a bunch years and years ago because video games were taking off and it just seemed like a good idea. She sold close to the top. :P]
[Hope you’re doing great.]
Whoah!
Well that's a pleasant turn of events! Summer space flight vacation kids, grandma is paying with her tendies! :)
I'm doing nearly great. I've done worse but I could do a whole lot better. How's UA going? Write some more these days or what? I know, what an asshole for asking huh!

Once upon a time a severe plague raged among the animals. Many died, and those who lived were so ill, that they cared for neither food nor drink, and dragged themselves about listlessly. No longer could a fat young hen tempt Master Fox to dinner, nor a tender lamb rouse greedy Sir Wolf’s appetite.
At last the Lion decided to call a council. When all the animals were gathered together he arose and said:
“Dear friends, I believe the gods have sent this plague upon us as a punishment for our sins. Therefore, the most guilty one of us must be offered in sacrifice. Perhaps we may thus obtain forgiveness and cure for all.
“I will confess all my sins first. I admit that I have been very greedy and have devoured many sheep. They had done me no harm. I have eaten goats and bulls and stags. To tell the truth, I even ate up a shepherd now and then.
“Now, if I am the most guilty, I am ready to be sacrificed. But I think it best that each one confess his sins as I have done. Then we can decide in all justice who is the most guilty.”
“Your majesty,” said the Fox, “you are too good. Can it be a crime to eat sheep, such stupid mutton heads? No, no, your majesty. You have done them great honor by eating them up.
“And so far as shepherds are concerned, we all know they belong to that puny race that pretends to be our masters.”
All the animals applauded the Fox loudly. Then, though the Tiger, the Bear, the Wolf, and all the savage beasts recited the most wicked deeds, all were excused and made to appear very saint-like and innocent.
It was now the Ass’s turn to confess.
“I remember,” he said guiltily, “that one day as I was passing a field belonging to some priests, I was so tempted by the tender grass and my hunger, that I could not resist nibbling a bit of it. I had no right to do it, I admit—”
A great uproar among the beasts interrupted him. Here was the culprit who had brought misfortune on all of them! What a horrible crime it was to eat grass that belonged to someone else! It was enough to hang anyone for, much more an Ass.
Immediately they all fell upon him, the Wolf in the lead, and soon had made an end to him, sacrificing him to the gods then and there, and without the formality of an altar.
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.
