Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Paul Mills Date: 14 Feb 04 - 12:26 AM Duane... I'm really sorry but I don't know haow to answer your question. I may have appeared to be more technically adept than I am when it comes to computers and connectivity. I suppose increasing the buffer size would lead to a smoother playback. Try it. Cheers, Paul |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Jeri Date: 14 Feb 04 - 09:28 AM I've got my really old version of MP set to buffer 10 seconds of data, and it's pretty smooth. I've tried the address Paul gave at different times, and I haven't had problems getting connected. I DO get kicked off once in a while, but I believe everything that CAN be done, HAS been done. Short of the Broadband Fairy Godmother showing up and turning my phone line 'pumpkin' into a cable, I'll just have to deal with net congestion. There has GOT to be an enormous amount of technical orchestration going on behind the scenes to make this innovative idea a reality. From someone on the receiving end - THANK YOU! I'm getting excited about this! |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Peter T. Date: 14 Feb 04 - 09:53 AM You won't go wrong with this album, folks!! It starts with Rick and Mudcat's own p.j. barrelling through Houston Special, and does not let up! yours, Peter T. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: MMario Date: 14 Feb 04 - 01:06 PM Bribing the family to try and get online monday evening - hopefully it will work! |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Big Mick Date: 14 Feb 04 - 01:59 PM Man.......... gettin' antsy to get on the road. I am ready for a ramble. I can't wait to hear this CD, and sing a few songs with friends. The only thing missing is the third "Beef Brother". Jed, I know you would be here if you could, I think you are going to miss a good party. I will keep you all posted. All the best, Mick |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Jeri Date: 14 Feb 04 - 02:17 PM MMario, try crying. Windows Media Player for Mac I believe QuickTime also plays streaming Windows media? Mick, drive carefully, try to remember that Canada is north, not south, and wave at me when you're on the air, ok? Clear sailing, sweetie. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Peter T. Date: 14 Feb 04 - 02:30 PM Waiting on your presence O Mickster. yours, Peter T. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Bill D Date: 14 Feb 04 - 02:57 PM It is NOT necessary to have Windows Media Player. JetAudio will play the CUIT stream...and will also record it, if you desire. You just go to 'file->open' and paste in mms://69.13.133.200/ciut, and you are there. I just double checked it. JetAudio is a large download, but it does lots of things. If you'd like to try it, get it today or tomorrow and go thru the procedures, so you know how it works. I find it easier to use than WMP. I sure plan to be there to hear this wonderful event... |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 14 Feb 04 - 05:15 PM Just got my copy of the cd in the mail (Thanks, Heather!!)- is it cheating to rave before the party on Monday? What a wonderful cd!!!!! Allison |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: MMario Date: 14 Feb 04 - 06:50 PM Isn't it? I've been saving my raves - seems only fitting to wait for the party. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: katlaughing Date: 14 Feb 04 - 09:29 PM BillD! Thanks! Love the JetAudio and wow, it looks like it does a LOT! My sister, bet, got her CD a couple of days ago and said it was really great. Can't wait to hear thsi and order our copy! luvyakat |

Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Susanl Date: 15 Feb 04 - 04:27 AM Rick and Heather, Congratulations on the CD release. I am unable to be there to hear it on Monday but I look forward to purchasing one and listening to it. I know it will be worth every cent and more. Susan |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: BK Lick Date: 15 Feb 04 - 06:26 AM Also consider iTunes. It's free and there are versions for both Mac and Windows platforms. —BK |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 15 Feb 04 - 06:30 AM I won't be there either but I wish you all the best- what a fun night it will be! Allison |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Tinker Date: 15 Feb 04 - 07:12 AM Packed, coffe in hand, and almost out the door definately excited. tinker |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Amos Date: 15 Feb 04 - 09:26 AM The West Coast is cheering Madly for you, Rick. It sounds like a wonderful release! A |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Steve Latimer Date: 15 Feb 04 - 11:39 AM We have arranged for a sitter and will be attending. Looking forward to it. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: GUEST,Big Mick in Toronto Date: 15 Feb 04 - 11:04 PM Finally made it in!! Long haul, not helped by Canadian immigration. I blew it when I admitted I was a folkie, which immediately put me under suspicion. Then when they asked what I was bringing in, I blew it when I admitted I had a bodhran in the car. This resulted in everything short of a strip search, but finally I convinced them that I would handle it responsibly and that I had the proper training on it so as not to be a danger, they relented and let me through. But they admonished me that they would notify the proper authorities that there was an unregistered goatskin and to keep an eye on me. I am on my best behaviour, which isn't saying much for those that know me...... I will report on the festivities and take plenty of piccies. More later. All the best, Mick |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Amos Date: 15 Feb 04 - 11:12 PM Glad ya made it Big Laddie -- and as long as they didn't find yer potato, you'll be all right!! LOL!! Please give all Fieldings large warm and powerful hugs from sunny Southern California. A |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Paul Mills Date: 15 Feb 04 - 11:16 PM Welcome to T.O., Mick! See you in the morning. Folks, Mick has kindly offered to help me schlep gear over to the Borealis office tomorrow. I've ripped out half my studio to help out with the broadcast and I'm getting too old to lug alone. Thanks, Mick. Hope y'all enjoy the show! Cheers, Paul |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: katlaughing Date: 15 Feb 04 - 11:47 PM {{{{{{{Paul and Mick}}}}}}}}}}}THANK YOU!! Mick, watch out for KoKo!! Lots of Love and Hugs to Rick and Heather, too, love, kat and Rog |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: GUEST,Jeremiah McCaw Date: 16 Feb 04 - 02:32 AM I would dearly love to attend in person, but I'm assuming the Borealis offices will be packed as it is. Is this a correct assumption? Paul? Anybody? It's an hour-&-a-quarter drive I'd happily make. Failing any positive response in the short time left, I shall be on the cyber-side, listening intently. (BTW, the Jet Audio that somebody recommended seems to be an excellent program.) Best wishes (& thanks) to all involved; Rick & Heather especially. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Fortunato Date: 16 Feb 04 - 07:45 AM Mick, Please tell Rick I sent my best and I'll be trying to sign on tonight. Chance Shiver |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Peter T. Date: 16 Feb 04 - 08:23 AM Hell, Jeremiah, it will be totally packed, so what? Come on over! What is one lunatic more or less? (or listen intently!) yours, Peter T. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Marion Date: 16 Feb 04 - 09:41 AM Hi Jeremiah. If you want to get by the bouncers, you'd best give Heather a call in advance. She told me last week that they needed to use a guest list approach to keep the numbers near the realm of physical possibility. The "Virtual Schmirtual" roadtrip in Willie-o's homemade wooden truck departs in a couple of hours, as soon as he can devise some sort of lighting system for it. Yay! Impeccable timing, as always, Fieldings, for scheduling this right after my return to Upper Canada. I am looking forward to it very much. Marion |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Willie-O Date: 16 Feb 04 - 10:51 AM Hey, I have everything except a right rear turn signal now. Marion, please bring a red bandana you can wave out the shotgun-side window when necessary... "homemade wooden truck". hmmmph. It's a 1994 Mazda. Only the cap is, shall we say, professionally hand-crafted. I just screwed the access door shut to keep the varmints out in the big city. Where the hell are we going anyway? W-O |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Jeri Date: 16 Feb 04 - 11:42 AM Bill, JetAudio sucks. Just my personal opinion, but I spent eternity downloading 17.8 MB, installed it (twice now) and it's main function seems to be to crash my computer (to the point where I have to turn the power off at the surge protector). It's a shame when a TinyFlaccid product works better than something else. I shall try again and hope nothing blows up so I can revert to WiMePla. Paul & Mick, please don't strain anything schlepping. If the worst happens with the broadcast, please TAPE IT. When it comes to broadcasting this, I have faith in Paul & the Borealis Boyz. I'm off to crash my computer for the 5th time today. Hear ya later! |

Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Bill D Date: 16 Feb 04 - 12:11 PM awwww...sorry about that Jeri....I have no idea why it messes with you, and treats others so nicely. I sit here with my 56k modem and Win98 and get it all just fine. Ain't modern technology...ummm...fickle? |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Feb 04 - 12:30 PM Fickle doesn't begin to encompass it. I get it....I don't get it. I will be here tonite listening....if I can!!!! If I don't post, you'll know I'm listening because I'm not going to muckabout and screw the pooch!!!!!IfI'm posting,I'll be pissed because the connection went down! Paul and Mick and all.....thanks. A small word that means a lot..... Rick and Heather......much love from both Karen and I. Spaw |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Jeri Date: 16 Feb 04 - 12:45 PM 1 more uninstall/install, 2 more crashes Then I tried to play a CD, and it wanted to 'get information' from the internet and wouldn't let me play the CD unless I was connected...then the PROGRAM crashed. (Assignment: write a song with the burden "...and then it crashed.") Progress! I uninstalled it and I'm downloading Media Player 7.1, but I'm keeping the old dinosaur Media Player, just in case. I may end up having to call someone and asking them to hold their phone up to a speaker, but I'm gonna listen! 6 hours and 15 minutes away... |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Duckboots Date: 16 Feb 04 - 01:08 PM All this technical stuff is way too complicated for me! Spaw, if you'd like to send a message - and don't want to sever your connection during the show - send it in this afternoon. Borealis will be collecting them and we can read them during the show. Borealis is gearing up for the big event, literally, Paul and Mick are trucking over a whole studio full of equipment! It's absolutely wonderful the way everyone has pitched in to make this happen. Thanks - it seems like a really small word, but it's from my heart. Heather |

Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: GUEST,JohnB Date: 16 Feb 04 - 01:35 PM I can't seem to get anything working on the computer for CIUT. Will have to try the radio but generally not much hope down in the valley. Good Luck and Best Wishes anyhow. JohnB |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Jeri Date: 16 Feb 04 - 01:48 PM John B, did you see Paul's post above? Cope this and paste it into the player you use for Windows Media: This works better than the web address, but for some reason, in my old Windows Media Player, it had to time out once. Always worked the second time, though. Hope you can get the show! |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: katlaughing Date: 16 Feb 04 - 02:24 PM JetAudio likes me!**bg** Jeri, let me know, I'll call you on my anytime, anywhere in the US, one-low-all the time rate and hold the phone to my speakers if ya need me to! I could even call one other who can't get it and make it a THREE-WAY! Are you listening, Spaw?!!:-) |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: katlaughing Date: 16 Feb 04 - 02:34 PM One other thought, if it wouldn't put a fly in the ointment...what about someone putting up a room at PalTalk and running it on there, for Mudcatters who can't get the broadcast, otherwise? It could be password protected so they wouldn't have to deal with any drop-ins, or not. Too much? Too late for an okay from Borealis, etc? Thinking out loud only.:-) |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: JenEllen Date: 16 Feb 04 - 03:54 PM Leave it to kat to propose...LOL I've tied everyone's parkas into a rope-ladder and have thrown them down the side of the building to facilitate my escape from work early. (My excuse of "I have to go home, I have something in my eye---Eyyyyye can't see any reason to be here this afternoon." didn't work as well as planned, so on to PartDeux) I'm hoping to be home in time to catch the show---y'all have fun, and we're thinking of you. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Rustic Rebel Date: 16 Feb 04 - 04:54 PM Thanks for the URL address. I'm getting it in loud and clear. Will be tuning in tonight crossing my fingers my connection holds. Can't wait to hear the party! Best of luck to all involved. Rustic |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: open mike Date: 16 Feb 04 - 05:10 PM mms://69.13.133.200/ciut? i have never seen an "mms" in place of the www. what does it all mean? |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: open mike Date: 16 Feb 04 - 05:16 PM i found the main page here....http://www.ciut.fm/ tahnks for all advice,etc. trying this now...and if i pull it in perhaps can do a paltalk link! will keep you posted... |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Jeri Date: 16 Feb 04 - 05:48 PM I'm not sure what 'mms' stands for, but it designates they type of server. Maybe 'Microsoft Media Server'? Paul Mills posted the IP address when I complained the link on CIUT's web page didn't work. It's all in this thread someplace. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Fortunato Date: 16 Feb 04 - 06:43 PM I'm signed on and streaming here in Silver Spring...CIUT is coming in loud and clear. |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: katlaughing Date: 16 Feb 04 - 06:46 PM Loud and clear here in Colorado! Thanks, open mike, for the possible paltalk room, too! |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Bill D Date: 16 Feb 04 - 07:00 PM so far, so good, not far from Fortunato...(nice blues!) |
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding's 'Virtual' CD Release From: Burke Date: 16 Feb 04 - 07:04 PM I'm not sure what mms:// means either, but it's designating the internet protocal to use. It's not instead of www, but http:// or ftp:// or telnet:// I'm waiting for the show to start any moment. |
