NOW FIXED - Musical Wizards (thanks to Kim and Az for helpin

Here is a picture I drew for a little boy i met the other day. His name is Christopher (like mine) and his favorite thing in the whole world is Irish music and his fiddle. We spent two hours (while at session) talking about differences in regional playing styles, differences between various musicians, and how much we both love the music. Seriously, I had a better conversation about Irish music with this 5 year old boy than I’ve had with almost anyone else. He knew all the great fiddlers, knew tune names, etc. The kid was amazing. I drew this picture for him and have yet to give it to him. I hope he likes it.

The second picture here is one I drew a while back and based the fiddle wizard on… it’s a flute playing wizard.

Best,
Chris


The more you give the more there is.

Yes, I know I draw like I’m 10. At least I don’t play flute/whistle that way :roll:

Chris

The pictures don’t show up for me. Am I the only one with this problem?

Kim

Hmmm… wierd. I’ll see what I can do.
Best,
Chris

Nope, and I really want to see them.

Doh… that stinks. Give me a couple minutes and I’ll see what I can do.
Best,
Chris

Will someone let me know if that worked? It works fine on my browser.
Best,
Chris

I think it’s working now.

Chris,

The prob has to do with URL encoding. Make sure that your links arent converted to encoded URls. For example, spaces are replaced with %20 etc. I think the parser of this forum might not be as advanced as our standard MS browser. What’s the HTML code u’re writing up?

.. and also I think source of the problems is that you seem to enjoy putting spaces in filenames… Don’t!!! You’ll always end up having probs on different OSes when you use spaces in filenames…

Az,
I think you might be right. Here is what the code looks like:

How do I fix this?
Chris

K - will fix it.
Chris

I think you just replace the %20 with a real space… Anyway when I copy and paste the link in a browser and replace %20 with a space, I can see the picture… Sorry my brain is going crazy too much red wine… But yeah that’s try, try replacing the %20 with spaces… Nice pictures by the way, nice stuff.

Chris, I’m hoping and well on the way to planning that my daughter will be like this boy. Not necessarily Irish music, but some sort of music. (I’m not trying to make superbaby, I just think that she has a talent.)

My wife has sung things (like chores, etc) to the tune of Camptown Races to our daughter, now 1.25 years old, for quite some time. Doo-Dah was probably about her tenth word, and she now actually sings the tune pretty damn well. Of course, she plays a C# on the whistle like nobody’s business. Other notes only when she lets us put our hands on the whistle. :slight_smile:

That should do it. Success?
Could someone confirm that it worked? You don’t even need to say what you think of the pictures, just let me know if they are showing up :roll:

I built three computers in the last three weeks and I can’t even figure out html. What the heck is my problemo?
Chris

Meet me on AIM, then you can send them to me as a file and I’ll post them for you, if you like.

I can’t see anything yet…

Okay, FINALLY, thanks to Kim and Az, it worked… the pics got shrunk a bit, but it’s a heck of a lot better than before. :roll:

One of these days I know I’ll figure out webhosting. By golly I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and people like me (well, my dog at least).

Best,
Chris

This is hilarious. A thread that says “ignore this” goes to 2 pages. It’s like forbidden fruit or something. I had to look.

E=Fb… kind of like telling folks to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, eh?
