- Thu, 15:43: the 3faces i scripted yesterday was ten panels so today my buffer is down from 1.5 to 1
- Thu, 18:09: Hero of Three Faces update: don't recall any character in-text ever mentioning this. https://t.co/yTz1MHy7Je #cerebus #guinan
- Thu, 23:37: Now all the modifications I made in WMP last weekend have vanished (though at least it's not that the new files have been deleted).
- Thu, 23:41: Okay, fixed. Thought I'd looked all through the menus for what would do what I needed and it wasn't there, but I hadn't looked everywhere.
- Fri, 05:29: Creative Process update: fired. https://t.co/v2XoQD6EFt #webcomics #CreativeProcess
- Sat, 12:36: Goddam Windows Media Player was displaying some duplicate filenames so I deleted dupes and now the files are gone
- Sat, 12:37: Nothing I hate like I hate discovering a new problem just when I'm getting up to do something else
- Sat, 12:38: unless it's this fucking keyboard
- Sat, 12:40: hitting a flipphone key four times for S is better than this
- Sat, 12:42: So on Android there's a way to insert a manual message break in a text? Cuz I hit it by accident and dunno what I did
- Sat, 14:55: I can't delete the ghost filenames that're still there either, prolly cuz they no longer are matched with files to be deleted
- Sat, 17:14: Okay, problem solved! I redownloaded all the files that had got deleted. 1/
- Sat, 17:15: This of course recreated the duplicate filenames in WMP. But I'd figured out what to do about that 2/
- Sat, 17:16: (a benefit to having been drawn away for a few hours before I could do anything about it, I guess). 3/
- Sat, 17:17: I went back and deleted the duplicate filenames again, but this time I chose "Delete from library but not computer" 4/
- Sat, 17:18: instead of "Delete from library and computer" which is what I usually use, cuz usually I'm deleting a file I've replaced. 5/
- Sat, 17:18: So all fixednow. 6/6

Feb. 8th, 2015 02:48 pmEver since I ripped a coupla CDs I’d borrowed from the library, using my browser causes my Windows Media Player to static or skip. WTF? Anyone reading this know how to deal with this, or must I journey into the darkest heart of the Microsoft BBS to see whether there’s an answer?

When you avoid something cuz it's popular you're allowing yourself to be influenced just as much as if you did it cuz it's popular.

RT @Karnythia And listen the number of quality dudes I know who are with independent feminist women...gee I wonder why?
Courtney Woods is in a lot more episodes of a rewatch than she was in first viewing.
There are people on my feed watching both wrestling and tennis and it's hard to tell you apart.
How do you tell WMP to NEVER EVER GO INTO SYNC MODE UNLESS DIRECTED?
If I had given #Wikipedia three bucks last month as I'd meant to, now I'd be demanding it back. #Gamergate

Reactionariness yay
Jan. 5th, 2007 11:37 amLast month after complaining that the MicroSoft help newsgroups are no use I did finally get signed on to ask my question, to wit: When the enable/disable feature on CD tracks is obviously still in effect with Windows Media Player 11 (because tracks I'd disabled before upgrading from WMP 9 still won't play), how the hell do you access it? Then there was car troubles; and more car troubles; and a week off of work because, hey, it's Christmas at a Jesuit university, when I'd only upgraded at work in the first place. Now, a month after I posted my question, I can't even find it again. I did find several posts asking the same question. I did find several other posts complaining that WMP 11 seems to exist for the purpose of removing features customers actually use. And I did find a thread imparting the information that Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel will uninstall WMP 11 reinstating the version you had before. Yay.
I knew something like this would happen
Dec. 8th, 2006 09:34 amI've just installed the update to Windows Media Player 11. They keep taking away features I used all the time. Last time it was the ability to rearrange tracks on a CD so that a track could appear more'n once.
This time it's the menu when you right-lick on a CD track title: it used to be the menu had selections for "Enable selected tracks" or "Disable selected tracks", but they're gone. The kicker is that the tracks I had set disabled from before I installed the upgrade still don't play - but I can't find how to change the settings in 11. Searching the Help (online Help or offline Help) for "enable" yields nothing on the subject of disabled CD tracks. Going to the Online Help "newsgroup" is useless because the button to create a new message produces only a progress bar that doesn't progress.
Who here knows how you enable or disable CD tracks in WMP 11? Thanks.
Edit More here.
