Farin Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Zabadak, may I ask how you came to your username? I always have to think of a German 80s party-pop song of that name
Lucky Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Ok, this is weird, and I don't have a clue what it could be .... youtube videos will not load on this computer. The audio plays fine, but we just get a constant "loading" message in the video frame. It's only on youtube, and it's every video. All other websites & videos are working fine.
Lea Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 I have been having all kinds of a good time with YT lately :beady: Just ask Farin he knows. What a pain in the behide they have become!!! I was lucky to access the playlist acct. this week and had an even bigger problem with my personal acct. I am going to start looking into other options for the play list and my personal acct. Dailymotion maybe? Lastfm? I dunno. All I know is YT is becoming more trouble then their worth and their not the only video site on the web. Just in case they forgot :beady:
Yellowsnow Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 13 of the 25 nominations (apart from my own) are not available in my country. I've heard there's a way to avoid this issue by disguising your IP, I believe. I'm not sure if this is a wise thing to do though.
Viaene Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 There's a way to use proxy servers, but that's not entirely legal..
Yellowsnow Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks Viaene, I'll listen to unknown songs on Grooveshark and ignore (beep) YT.
Ombre Vivante Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Youtube now requires a crappy google account in order to log in to the site. Goodbye, youtube
Lea Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I had a heck of a time with YT this week BA. I run two accts. My personal one and the playlist. I wasn't sure I was even going to be able to use the playlist acct. this week but finally got in Sunday afternoon. I had an even harder time getting into my personal acct. What a pain in the butt. As far as I can tell, you have to have a separate email acct. for each YT acct. and you have to link your accts. to google. I don't use gmail but do have a google acct. so I managed to get in. I'm just not real sure how I did it. They say it's a simple process but they can take their simple process and.... Oh yeah, emailing them for help I'm going to look into other options for the playlist I think. Anyone have any good ideas? I can't use grooveshark it freezes on me
Ombre Vivante Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I have a few gmail accounts that fail to load all the time, so I stopped using them a coupla years ago. Yahoo! has fulfilled all my e-mail needs, so the fact I have to go through gmail bulls*** is enough for me to give up on using youtube
Farin Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 in completely unrelated news... Google is going to delete all of their accounts marked as 'private' this summer...
Shawna Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Huh? I use gmail, are they planning to delete that?
edna Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I have a question... I'm looking for the Personal Top Tens we made the first time. I mean, when we all made our lists... I found the last ones in the Top ten thread... but no there's no way I can find the first ones.. Any clue? Thank you... Oh, that's fine, I found it! Thank you anyways...
Viaene Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 I shall visit Hamburg and Hannover next week! Mainly visiting the university and their physics programme (Observatory, DESY) and GEO600 in Hannover. Beside that, I'll have some time to visit the two cities. Any touristic tips & hints (apart from the obvious), Martin?
Farin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 dunno about Hannover, but Hamburg is awesome I guess the city centre ("Mitte") is a given, the Mönckebergstraße is the main shopping street but definitely check out the Speicherstadt (besides the architecture there are also museums and the world's largest miniature railway, which is supposed to be *very* cool) Adjacent to that is the new quarter of HafenCity, I haven't been there yet myself, but seeing a whole brand new quarter might be interesting nonetheless. For the nightly entertainment I guess the obvious choice would be the St.Pauli quarter with the world famous(?) Reeperbahn, lots of restaurants, theatres, bars and clubs, but also several strip clubs, brothels and the like, so don't be surprised Also on that street there were all the clubs where The Beatles had their first gigs... there's even a Beatles-Square there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7nPmn3soiM
Lucky Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 World's Largest Miniature Railway wow. I love trains. So there you go, the obvious, or trains. You decide. Sounds like a fun trip either way!
Viaene Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Apparently, we booked the youth hostel which is right in the middle of the Reeperbahn At first we was like: wtf strip clubs, borthels, sex shops but then we noticed there were many bars and restaurants in the streets nearby. Hamburg is a nice city, loved the city centre and the harbor... and the Reeperbahn We didn't had the time for the miniature trains, unfortunately. Thanks Martin!
bluesboy Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Hey Lizard, you still play fiddle don't ya ? Here's some Fiddle tunes that you can expand your repertoire.
Farin Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Has anyone already heard of Tomahawk? A new media player that lets you stream music not only from your local system, but also from remote machines - including from your friends (connect via Jabber/Google Talk or Twitter)
Lea Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I didn't respond because I hadn't heard of it otherwise I would have Ask another question and maybe I can help
Farin Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 then the correct answer would have been "No" and not no answer it was a rhetorical question anyway, since I already supplied a link to the player's download site... I just thought "hey yo, check that out!" wouldn't have been subtle enough
Shawna Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Dearest Farin, No, I have not heard of Tomahawk. But thank you so much for mentioning it. I read your post with interest before pausing and realizing it's not something I would ever figure out, so I simply went on with my day. But it was quite good of you to think enough of us to bring it to our attention. We do appreciate you so much, you know. With much love and respect, Shawna
