Kenzo, we lost our internet for 72 hours, with me needing a certain level of layered sound around me at all times. Your premium DVD did the trick.

5:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Excellent news, Rich. Get used to it; all this that we only recently became used to, is fleeting indeed!

Working pretty well so far, with charming moments of unexpected congruence

6:10pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Should I scream? I don't like the quiet.

♥ 6:12pm ParUbi:

I think that he's also mixing your stream in with his Wendy Carlos track

♥ 6:12pm coelacanth∅))):

i'd like to do that sometimes but this laptop wont stream the pop-up player (i can only use it for archives)

♥ 6:13pm ParUbi:

I've got one on VLC and one via the browswer.

♥ 6:14pm Rand al'Thor:

I'm listening via WinAmp.

6:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I'm listening via you

♥ 6:17pm ParUbi:

It's getting pretty layered.

♥ 6:18pm ParUbi:

I forgot about winamp. I used to use that and Foobar, haven't remembered to reinstall them

6:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

They are good+.

6:20pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Sometimes the easy way is not the best way.

♥ 6:20pm coelacanth∅))):

winamp not an option on macbook. i use it on another laptop that's not here. i'm stuck with the sorta shitty vlc on this.
i wish i could (or knew how to?) use pine player for streaming.
(or install a safe version of realplayer)

♥ 6:23pm ParUbi:

does Foobar2000 work?

♥ 6:25pm ParUbi:

it does for me-- just switched to it to stream this side of the unexpected union of shows

♥ 6:25pm coelacanth∅))):

hmm never heard of that
-it's good?

♥ 6:27pm ParUbi:

yep, open source and pretty solid

6:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...w/ the current entertainment being hearings on Free Elections...

6:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Eventually this song is going to start :P

6:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

That's what they always say.

♥ 6:37pm ParUbi:

I'm now doing it with VLC and Foobar. People are pacified by the spectacle. When they aren't, a variety of things can go right and wrong.

6:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Depends on one's perspective

6:39pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

(Death shall have no dominion)

♥ 6:40pm Carmichael:

Finally I am somewhere.

♥ 6:41pm ParUbi:

That topos is on topic!

6:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Do you have or require external validation?

6:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Topoi behave much like the category of sets and possess a notion of localization; they are in a sense a generalization of point-set topology.

♥ 6:42pm Carmichael:

unsure until I figure out the details of my beingness.

♥ 6:43pm ParUbi:

I've never been able to reach external validation. There's always another door behind the door I open.

6:45pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Being Notthere.

♥ 6:48pm ParUbi:

Will something have happened?

♥ 6:48pm Carmichael:

I like to watch myself watching.

Thanks Kenzo

♥ 7:00pm ParUbi:

Until next week!

♥ 7:07pm WR:

Chresti, thinking about several deaths among friends this year and thinking back to those that left years ago, curiously it seems to me that you have to both let them go while still holding them close.
