Home is where the con is


Norwescon was great! Photos and video from the convention are here. Huge thanks to Bethany Allen for ensuring that the Filk track was given the attention it needed and deserved. We all had a marvelous time, and were kept busy for the entire con.

The music was fantastic across the board. I enjoyed all of the concerts on Saturday very much. I'm also very proud of the concert that Vixy and I performed on Saturday, I think we had a great set-list, and the audience feedback was fantastic, especially to the new songs in the set. Thank you, everyone.

It was also great to spend a con in my home town for once. This is the first year I've lived in Seattle, and it's nice to be able to hop in the car for a few minutes and show up at the con. The only difficulties we had involved logistical things like parking. That poor hotel simply doesn't have enough rooms or enough parking to support a convention of that size. Otherwise, it's a great hotel for a general con.

Next up, it's Bethany's house filk on May 13th, followed by Baycon on Memorial Day weekend. Can't wait!

Problems downloading the videos

Looks like you had a great time there. I was hoping to share a bit of that by downloading the videos, but I'm not having any luck. I click on the projector icon on the pictures-and-videos page, and I get a page with only that particular projector. So far, so good. But no download starts, nor is anything happening if I click on the projector on that page.

Looking forward to seeing you (and Vixy, and Callie, and many others) at BayCon.

Hiya Harold! So it seems that you're saying you click on the icon a second time and nothing happens?

I'd say, make sure you get the latest quicktime. In the text there, is a link to the latest standalone quicktime player. Give that a shot and see if it fixes it.

I had to get the latest quicktime before they'd work at all, and then I had to click the links several times each to get them to work. Seemed like they were working at random, and you just had to keep trying until you got lucky. Very weird.

It'd really be great if media playback software would JUST WORK all the time on every system, wouldn't it? Gah.
