yeah, their site is wicked. DR[tm] has done a good job with frames [not easy!]. this alert cames from the Java Script part on their htm file called "index": they have to put the Java paragraph before the </HEAD> end command. and normally everythings will be ok... i don't have the Warp mail, but i'm sure that someone will post this for me... hope it will working! anyway, is anybody knows where i can find the complete Russ Gabriel or/and Ferox rec. discography? thanks for your help.

the warp site looks great, but i keep getting java script errors in line 88 (or something like that. is anyone else experiencing this? other than that, it's been a good week. received global goon in the mail on monday, and gary moscheles today. i like em both, although "good bye jazz people" is a little bit much. had one of my friends in the room when it came on for the first time, and she looked at me like "what the hell is that?" to which i could only shrig my shoulders and laugh. global goon is great. just makes you feel good. to top all of this off, i'm going to see they might be giants tomorrow night (non-idm, of course, but still a ton of fun)! hope you're all having a lovely day. catch ya later! alan! __ :::::/\ \:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::/ \ \::::::you make the mistake::::::::::: :::/ /\ \ \:::::you judge a man by his race:::: ::/ / /\ \ \::::you go through life:::::::::::: :/ / /__\_\ \:::with egg on your face:::::::::: / / /________\::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: \/___________/::::::::::-beastie boys::::::::::

people experiencing javascript errors.... you need both javascript *AND* java enabled in netscape for things to work smoothly, you'll be missing out on the sound as well. it's happy on by Win32 and Macs, and it very nearly works for the various UNIXs, as long as you don't need to do anything as obscure as resize the window :) the chat engine should be going by the end of the week. g.

concept by me, design (before my very eyes, in FH5, in 25 mins) by Ian Anderson (tDR), javascript by Dorian Moore (Obsolete), layout and HTML, everything else and much more by Chris 'I powerlunch with kylie' McGrail (Obsolete). a 'ta' to AFX for the bleep idea.

Uh? But isn't the whole idea of the web that it shouldn't matter what browser you use, it's platform independant. It annoys me when people write 'best viewed with so-and-so' on a web page, it should look the same whatever browser you use. -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions

no, not if the folks who wrote one of them (micros**t) are trying to subvert what may soon be a standard web-based programming language (java) and replace it with their own. the point is that it _would_ be platform independent, if micros**t could stand having a standard out there that it didn't develop. ignoring, of course, that to view pages that use the latest technology, you have to have software that can understand that technology. laps

No, sorry, you're completely wrong, the whole idea of the web is to dazzle people with your ability to design flashy cutting-edge sites that push technology to the bleeding edge.

Ooh, bitter! The trouble is, everything was going okay when it was just Netscape's Mosaic and Navigator doing the running. Now Microsoft have thrown a spanner in the works by introducing their special "fucks up pages designed for Netscape" browser and giving it away with their operating system. Result? Millions of people with the operating system going, "But these web pages are fucked up and we only have the Netscape users to blame!" Come January 15th, my new web site is up and will feature (amongst other things) extensive Autechre/Gescom, Skam and 808 State sections. It'll only be readable on Netscape.

Times are a'changing! :) Take the old saying "a picture tells a thousand words".. this isn't true when it comes to the web, as downloading a picture takes much longer than downloading a thousand words. :) ObIDM: Anybody care to review Carl Craig's newie "The Secret Tapes of Dr Eich", thanks??

Hey, as far as I'm concerned, any site that isn't at least *decipherable* with the most bare-bones text-based browser *is* fucked up. Intentionally designing informational sites that require you to use one particular piece of software to access them completely misses the point of putting an informational site up on the web in the first place . . . -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo)

Fear not, my web site will have two versions. One for Netscape freaks and a text-only alternative. Even the Netscape one will be decipherable (and isn't as Netscape-orientated as it sounds). I think the <FONT> tag is the only non-HTML tag I've used. The 'heavy' version will require a browser than can handle frames (possibly) and tables (definitely) though. The 'light' version will just be 100% text (with links, of course). The site isn't finished yet, so there's still room to take on board suggestions. Thankfully there are people on here who are capable of offering a more balanced, helpful criticism than Aran Parillo's full-out personal attack.

But not if you're designing the site for about a dozen mates, each of whom you know uses that one particular piece of software. Of course, a few thousand strangers with compatible browsers may also wander in, which would be nice. .+'''+. mark@sonance.demon.co.uk M A R K http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/sonance/ `+.,.+' http://www.sonance.demon.co.uk/

Well said, Lazlo ! I entirely agree. The *least* that people could do is to put up 2 versions of their web pages...one with fancy graphics & one with just the plain text. Merry Christmas everyone ! Aca

if you haven't yet, go check out warp-net. the "we are reasonable people" page is up, with realaudio for all of the tracks. neato stuff. also, the autechre album page is up, with clips as well. i almost don't want to listen to any of them. i'd want too badly to hear the whole thing! oh well. alan! np:chimera:valley of the spirits
