I promised [livejournal.com profile] likeneontubing that I'd share this if she posted it.


I still can't work out how much of a parody it is. I _did_ manage to guess that the singer had a beardless moustache just from hearing the track on Kate's phone...

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at lj-toys.com.
Always link directly when you embed something, you outta know that by now.

Apparently, LJ is moving offices this weekend, so we put up with shitty service. Why them moving in SF affects the hosting in Billings, without us being warned, I don't know. Then, I'm not paying them any more...

No, you ddn't link directly. You embedded. To link directly you put a link in, like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U

There, see? Now it's loaded on your page, I can find where it is on YouTube ;-)

Important these days for people using mobile browsers that have a youtube app but can't watch vids in browser (like anyone using Opera Mobile/Mine)

Not trying to have a go, a bit cranky today (today? this last week it seems), but, y'know, point is sound, links are good ;-)

Ah, see, others do; giving people choices is good, especially when relying on the flakiness of LJ embedding.

Also? You have an Android, Android has a good built in setup. I have a Nokia 5800 running S60, which is passable, but the browser's a bit sucky, so I use Opera, which is better for everything except Flash.

Pity the poor iPhoners...

(Next upgrade is in 15 months, at which point an Android will be a good, affordable choice, the 5800 was the best choice on my dirt cheap contract in Feb).

Why? We have a separate app specially for YouTube should we need it, and don't get the bug that is Flash serving up annoying ads, tracking us and generally slowing everything to a crawl when we're browsing the web.

Ah, see, on the laptop I have never let flash run on its own, and on my mobile I use Opera which doesn't allow it.

For some reason I thought iPhones didn't run Flash at all, is that just the iPad? Meh, I care not, overpriced hypy thing that's only barely better than my 5800 ;-)

Aww...I remember this! Fear not, I'm sure the tongue was firmly in cheek. Face cheek, not...oh, you know. See? http://www.gunthernet.com/spindex.htm

Gunther was (is?) hilarious. It was just a pastiche of shite Europop of a couple of years ago.
