Haha, very cute! I love Mr. Monkey and the snowballs.
And yes, that's my kid with the macabre version of Jingle Bells...

As Rik says, 3 minutes 17 seconds of amusement for the easily entertained .

I am easily entertained, I guess, and I liked it very much, Rik. Thanks!

Yay! Loved it! Thank you for doing this, Rik,
excellent work as usual!

Loved it, Melissa! He DOES realise this is all going to
be blackmail material for when he's a teenager, right?

You've seen my Facebook, Mitchy. I am amassing a raft of blackmail material.
Including the note he wrote to me when he was mad: "You're mean and I'm not
building dinosaurs with you any more."

Webtv can't handle "that sort of thing".
We'll just have to take our greetings to each other for granted.
Happy Holidays from Piliki
Carleen
and happy holidays to all our ramily...

version 2, without people being forgotten, is up.
It's still at http://www.houseoftheorangemonkey.co.uk/misc/xmas.htm and it's
just a little bit longer.
Apologies to Annie, and I'm glad Lauradog's email finally got through.
Merry Christmas, everyone.

That was very well done, Rik. Thanks.
Next year I'll have to turn on some lights when I record mine.
Merry Christmas, all!

I should have realized that was you earlier than I did. Merry Christmas

Thanks so for squeezing me in there -- such fun to have this little treat
every year (and Bud's there too!).You did a great job, Rik.

Nicely done Rick, sometimes a bit fast for me to catch
the first time. But Firefox didn't like it at all, it
vanished when I tried to watch it. So, I loaded up
Seamonkey and that worked. If I make it through another
year, I'll try to do better.

What format of video can it handle? Flash? etc.

The timing, I can work on (except the still of John P, which were supposed
to be subliminalish). It worked in *my* copy of Firefox, but that's not
really much help to anyone else. Doe it consistently not work in Firefox?
Mary
Nope, I watched it in Firefox too.

Thanks, Woodstock.
I bet Carol and I would sound *just* like that if we practiced more (and one
of us played the guitar, bazouki &c)

I had to install an add-on to make it work on my Firefox.

computer thingies but quick and easy for email and our own news groups
(behind a firewall).
Over the 12 plus years I've been a webber, they've improved and down
graded our capabilities till we just cling to what we have and dread
the day when they "pull the plug". Microsoft bought this little gismo
and... heaven help us, you can imagine what they've done to it. Go buy
a computer, folks. That's what you -really- want, you know.
Piliki too old to train a mouse to her shaky fingers.

It worked fine for me in Firefox.

Can you scroll up and down a webpage with WebTV, Phyllis? Or is a site made
of lots of short pages better? Or does WebTV just not handle webpages at
all?
barbara fister
again. It's always great fun, and the bar scenes added the perfect
ambiance.

Phyllis
Tripod, Katy's Kubicle kid friendly gifs stories and poems all by me...
well, the stories and poems are. The gifs are collected from other
webpages.
It's just that our browser is way behind in technology and MSN is not
going to waste time and money updating it any more. Our boxes are old
and no new ones are being built. It's a simple technology for simple
folks who just want to email, enjoy fellowship in news groups, and
wander the web as far as they're allowed.
Some times I can read articles y'all post and some times not. I can
usually gather from responses what they are about. I'm not always
interested (shocking, eh?) but I do greatly enjoy the friendly feeling
here and the delightful senses of humor that burst forth.
Maybe Ellen has further comments on our little black boxes.... Webtv
filled a need and it's SO easy and simple to use, isn't it Ellen?
Bud
so lazy I'd install VLC and know it would work with any
format of video or sound. I could not understand why it
did not, as it worked fine with Seamonkey and it uses
gzine too. Ah well, I usually get things to work
eventually. Oh, even if I chose download it'd vanish.

watched it in a separate program. It kept going to white, and I'd
have to slide the page up and down to bring it back. It also kept self
pausing. I think that it was more a function of my broadband
connection at work, than Firefox, though.

That happens to me when I have a hangover, too. Hope you feel better
soon. <vbeg>

I don't think it was the broadband. Did exactly the same to me in Firefox as
John says. Kept cuttting out and then stopping, had to play with scroll bar,
etc.... Tried it next in IE browser and that worked fine.
Finally ended up downloading and playing it in Windows Media, except I could
not pause it. Quirky.

Okay... try http://www.houseoftheorangemonkey.co.uk/misc/xmas2009nomovie.htm
(obviously it's not the same as the wmv, but I hope it's better than
nothing)

the Ramily whether in the film? card? greeting or not.
But, what that really baby Bryan? My goodness. How long have I been
reading RAM anyway? Sorry, Bryan. I realize you are a young man now.
Oh, and Mr Orange Monkey, don't all those lovely bookcases tempt you to
climb and swing and throw books or do you just throw snowballs? Aren't
you related to "the librarian" at Unseen University? Oook?

Heh, sure was. He's 6.5 now and is currently constructing an elaborate lego
Star Wars spaceship of some kind. He's in first grade and reads on about a
third-grade level. Shocking, isn't it? ;)
Mitchy will get to meet him this summer--more details will follow, but I am
planning a 10-day(ish) trip to the UK in June. I owe Mitchy and Rik (and
Carol) dinner after my credit card snafu last time, so I hope we can all get
together again!

Worked fine for me on the much maligned Internet Explorer.
