drats, foiled again by that dastardly math. somebody outta do something
about that there math one of these days. still maybe there's ways around
that,
such as ftping the video file to various other computers throughout the
world (with the server software, which is free), or something like that?
i've got a few ideas, but would want to find out if they're even possible
(since i don't yet trust my overwhelmingly vast knowledge of, well,
nothing). DSC's getting a T1 connection, and since they'll never use all
that bandwidth ever (don't even get me started as to why they think they
need a T1), maybe i could secretly hide it over there. bwahahahaha, can
claim the evil mad scientist from the haunted theater did it! or have a
member of the prompting theater show up, then claim that it has to go on
the DSC web page cuz so and so was in it, thus it's a dsc thing (why not,
i've claimed house theaters as dsc projects in the past, even though no
dsc folk were in them, just wrote stuff for them). ooo, the scams, the
scams. the things John is teaching us!
but on a somewhat positive note: peaches are in season!
