This is a test unshow
Test Unshow.
The feed *appears* to be fixed for the current episodes! and broken for the old ones.
I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that you’ll get this latest episode in your feed, and will have access to the prior episodes through iTunes.
January 19th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
No fair posting a show while I’m still at work! Waaaaa!
I am on eternal hold.
January 20th, 2010 at 12:02 am
Well, I got the show in my feed. Of course, I don’t use iTunes…
January 20th, 2010 at 12:09 am
Actually, I got 7 shows in my feed.
144-148, 150, unshow 46.
149, strangely absent.
Wait… Haven’t I already listened to most of those?
January 20th, 2010 at 12:10 am
OK. I’m up WAY too late…
G’night
January 20th, 2010 at 12:10 am
Clarification… I was on hold at work which allowed me the brief moment of going to the website. I didn’t realize it wasn’t really a show show.. I just was like “hey look there’s a new
…” but yeah.. I see/hear now that it wasn’t the case.

Are you sure it isn’t the files, and the problem with iTunes is just a symptom? I use Juice 2.2 and for some reason Deadpan shows (and only Deadpan shows) ALWAYS time out at 99% so they get retried every day and I end up with a directory full of duplicate pans. iTunes’ solution to bad file may be to remove it from their copy of your feed or something.

One of the daycare kids was quarantined in the kitchen with a cough. He had most of the Fisher Price Little People with him, and suddenly he didn’t.
Darcy asked where the toys went, and he pointed out a “mystery hole” in our cabinetry behind the baseboard and between cabinets pretty much just the right size for the toys but too small for hands to retrieve them.
Those toys are gone, unless we get a Sawzall and go after the cabinetry…
January 20th, 2010 at 6:16 am
iTunes still showing no deadpan. The seas are open without a ship to come to harbor.
January 20th, 2010 at 6:24 am
Since we’re testing stuff, this post is a test of Opera mini on my droid
The good: I can access deadpan and comment.
The bad. Compared to other android browsers, this doesn’t feel comfy with the touch screen and other interface options.
The verdict: Use until they correct the other browsers
January 20th, 2010 at 6:25 am
It is kinda neat that the opera browser gives me a mouse pointer to use though

Levels of computer cool that fail miserably:
I have a 19″ flat-screen monitor at work, and it has 2 USB ports built into it. I am, as I write this, charging my Sansa Sandisk MP3 player. This is totally cool; HOWEVER, the ports don’t actually integrate with the computer to allow any data transfer.
Dell, once again you fail!
January 20th, 2010 at 10:29 am
Is there not a port to connect to your USB port on the computer so those ports on the monitor can be used?
There is on my Dell 19 inch monitor.
January 20th, 2010 at 10:35 am

@jackmangan
Sounds good. Ill put my 19″ back for a while as well.
January 20th, 2010 at 11:14 am
@Vanamonde
Yes, but the USB ports on the tower sit beneath the desk with the tower, while the monitor sits above on the desk. I’d need at least 6′ of cable to get them to connect. It’s not really an expense I’d like to absorb, just so that I can delete files from my MP3 player. It would make accessing my thumb drives easier though.

Chinese Government Pulls Avatar from 2D Screens
by Jonathan Simrin January 20, 2010 Confucius can take the Na’vi any day of the week, apparently. China will be pulling the blockbuster Avatar, directed by James Cameron, from theaters throughout the country to make room for a state-backed biopic on the ancient philosopher. According to the Associated Press, the decision, made by state authorities, is an effort to make room for an influx of new domestic films, coinciding with the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday. And if you’re worried Cameron’s ego might even be the slightest bit hurt, you shouldn’t. Avatar will continue to show in IMAX and 3D in China. Despite the reports from state authorities, some Chinese commentators are speculating that the film and its politics are striking a chord with government officials, who only allow 20 foreign films to be imported per year.
January 20th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Hmm, maybe a “Revelations/Psycho Killer” mashup?
January 20th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Sad news. Randy and Val, whom some of you met last September, will be coming home today from a trip to Mexico. Her brother has the terrible job of pulling Val aside from getting off the plane and telling her her son committed suicide sometime while she was away. They found the body yesterday.
I’ll wait a couple of days then call her and offer her my condolences. I don’t think it’s right to call the day she finds out.
January 20th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
@The Energizer Bunny
OMG, that’s awful news. Please pass on my condolences too, when the time is right.

While I have not had a lot of dealings with her kids (she has 3), this son in question once had hubby help him learn a piece of music on guitar so he could play it for an event.
I gather there was a rash of suicides in Calgary since Jan. 1st. As sad as it sounds, you just don’t really notice it, except as a piece on the six o’clock news, until you actually know the people involved.
January 20th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Now, after bringing everybody up… hubby should be home soon. I’ll have to tell him.
January 20th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Nomad Scry: I hope all goes well.
TEB: That is simply numbing. I offer my condolences, for what it’s worth.
January 20th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
TEB: Oh, that’s terrible. :(
For those people who weren’t at the September MMMMMMeetup, Randy and Val’s voices can be heard in Deadpan #137. They participated in the Live Duel of the Fates game we played at the gathering. I was on their team (we were the team supporting James Bond).

To be fair -
While it would clearly be frustrating to be a Doctor on a plane and not be able to land … and clearly, Haiti needs all the doctors and medicine it can get … having these things just sit beside a runway next to all the other supplies that can’t be delivered yet because because there is not enough vehicles/people/cleared roads wouldn’t do anyone any good.
WORSE STILL – to have an air crash because it is left up to the pilots of hundreds of circling aircraft to decide who has the most important cargo/passenger to land next wouldn’t help the situation.
That article fails to mention the logistics of trying to land and off-load 100’s of aircraft and their supplies having to land on a damaged runway that had no lights or control tower.
Plenty of other articles describing the constant stream of aircraft and supplies coming in. Perhaps these frustrated doctors could have tried to coordinate with other groups and combine flights.
Sounds like they need fewer but larger/more packed aircraft … and extra landing strips (which they are apparently trying to build.
The whole thing just sucks.
