Default safari download settings here, Blue. em

aargh-choo

or aargh-true, hope you're right, Linda

You're right, of course, Blue...

I found it when I got tired of quitting the browser

....but the little bugger does return

and thank you, Linda, for redeeming lango's previously unblemished reputation in my eyes :0<>

Exactly, Blue...

but you can't kill the download attempt except by quitting Safari (or presumably what browser you are using). It comes back only on this site (I think it's been since the voice-over attachment about an hour ago).

I also killed cache, and the IHub cookies, but it recurs....????

ContextAd.aspx download??

Since I opened lango's msg with the voice-over, I have this recurring download,"ContextAd.aspx download". I quit Safari, but it comes back with each new msg.

Anyone have the same thing? How do I kill it, nicely, of course?

OT-lango, apropos Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy

I took a look at the series of articles you posted on the second round coming of the fight for Hetch Hetchy. I was totally unaware and will now get more plugged in.

I don't know if you saw my post #27758 , in answer to your ruminations on Yosemite. I didn't hike as extensively as you did, but remember one spring up on the glorious meadows in the 80's, having to move my bag and cooking gear several times. After a very heavy snow-filled winter, the runoff was overflowing every creek in the vicinity, and the roar of the water was exciting. On a mountain pass or two north of Yosemite at about 14,000' at that time, the snow was still 15' high alongside the road in JUNE.

I did see one play by Lee Stetson and wanted him to bring it to NY. I just googled Lee and answered my own question: his play on John Muir's life and work is alive and well and....hopefully he will still tour even though he's now an elected politician with much of his time accounted for.

I note that he's now about 62 years old and resembling his hero, John Muir, more and more all the time in the few pictures I saw.

Thanks for the .mac thoughts from several of you.em

lango and dilleet-.mac?

I just got my Imac in Nov and have to decide about .mac in about 10 days when my freebie expires. Other than your two endorsements of its value, I get the impression from others that subscribing is somewhat an act of charity to the coffers of the mother company. Am I wrong? I would appreciate an honest appraisal by anyone whether it is good value or not. (as it is, not as you would want it to be)

My ignorant take so far on it:
-The online storage seems small compared to other facilities available online.
-web site help seems beginner oriented
-I haven't had time to set up a back-up system other than CD's so far, so I have no feel for its utility in that regard.

Please enlighten me. Thanks

Blue, Apple Store, NYC, doesn't even ask
and seems to care less who buys the Ed version of Office. Neither does the other biggest Mac dealer in NYC, Tekserve. Frankly, I don't think MS cares either about consumers and small businesses buying the Ed version. They must feel that 3 installations per copy is a sufficient restraint and the modest price an inducement not to steal it.

thanks, Linda, it's nice to be here :) em

dilleet, by lunchtime, the fog usually is cleared,
but be careful with so much politically to get angry about, to drive safe. I am jealous of your location...oh, what am I doing in NYC?, says I to me, as I trot off to bed at 1:41am

lango, me too, too far away

from Yosemite, a place I love. I had an agonizing decision last August when I was in Calif for a wedding. With five days to wander, was it going to be Yosemite or ... I went to another place that gets me high as a kite: Big Sur, which I also camped many moons ago.

Yes, I met and saw Lee Stetson's show about Muir and Hetch-hetchy, I believe, in about 1986-87. It was wonderful, reminding me of the one man show that Hal Holbrook did on Mark Twain. I remember trying to get it done in NYC, but don't remember why I failed. Before I read your last post, I was about to ask if Lee is enlisted in the recent activity on behalf of Hetch-hetchy.

Speaking of John Muir, I am reminded of the story he wrote in one of his books I have about his loving to climb to the top of the biggest trees in a violent storm, for the ride as the branches shook and carried him back and forth. Talk about loving nature! Or his climbing out on a ledge inside the water on the lower falls, and hope the wind didn't come up, driving the water right at him.

Nice meeting you, lango

This is old home week.

lango, my cup runneth over

I spent many a glorious day hiking and camping the high and low country in Yosemite, and it all reverbs. Interesting though that a few of them won't pan
w/o hitting the arrow keys, not the smooth mesmerizing feel of the auto pan.

I just went back to the Duomo one and put the music on full tilt. OMG, what a pick-me-up!

You just sold me on QT pro as well. I am such a sucker for beauty..hehe

thanks again :<)

thanx, yofal, exactly what I was asking

I just looked at this site:

http://vrm.vrway.com/projects/GRAND_CANYON_COLORADO_RIVER/FULLSCREEN/lava_high.html

and I am blown away

Bootz, I took a look...
and that church is lovely, but I was asking about the full screen continuously revolving panorama of the Kuala Lumpur and Duomo sites. They filled my whole screen with a continuous panorama. That's what impressed me so, and what I was asking about. I wanted to know of sites that use Quicktime that way.

OT- "goose waddle" twaddle

That's interesting- when I first saw W strut across the White House lawn, I thought I had seen that walk before.

"waddle" (Merriam-Webster online)
1 : to walk with short steps swinging the forepart of the body from side to side

Bootz, I just gotta get out more..thanx

OT-Kuala Lumpur never looked better

than on a 20" iMac G5.I confess I have never been to the place to compare but I have never seen such a display on a home computer monitor before. And the Duomo scenes completely knocked off my socks. Thanks, lango.

Does anyone have other sites that display Quicktime this way?

lango, iTunes and iPhoto
have different revenue streams attached to them. That explains a lot of which one gets the big development effort, doesn't it? There are occasional conflicts between our wish list as mac users versus AAPL investors.

I agree with you, though- I would love to see some file system improvement in iPhoto too.

"Enlightened self-interest"
are the magic words, lango. Let's hope Apple is more enlightened than the US govt spokesperson who said the US will give "appropriate assistance". Has anyone asked what inappropriate assistance might be?
