I have the hardest time remembering what "crepuscular" means. I hope I've had to look it up for the last time...

Within the definition are the terms matutinal (or "matinal") and vespertine, denoting active in the morning (dawn) and evening (dusk).

Thus the graphic of the mosquito.

"Guitar punisher" is right. TE uses his guitars for percussion, and they show it. Some of his guitars look like he picked them out of a dumpster. Not quite what you would expect from one of the top guitarists in the world.
I would love to see him perform live.

WOW! that was great! If I could play HALF that good, I would be satisfied! Best mom day gift for me so far, except for The Outback later, and of course the winning lotto ticket my hubby bought!

Help me oh Geeks. Everytime I click on a YouTube vid I get the following message: "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." This happens no matter what browser I use. I can get Live Leak and others but not YouTube.

Any clues?

Is this at home or at work? If at work, your employer may have a firewall blocking YouTube.

This monday's gonna be good - We hooked a big client last week and I have a lot to finish before I get started. I'm looking at a very busy summer. =)

The music viddie made me think it was Saturday night all over again- Thanks Charles!

You Tube is under several serious lawsuits by the RIAA and others attempting to inflate the value of the intellectual content of their music. I haven't seen any good music since 1993 from RIAA. The RIAA are musically bankrupt and legally empowered by the US congress to intellectual royalties in far excess of their actual worth. This really blows chunks!

My problem is with all YouTube vids, musical or not.

Do you get the error on "the best video ever"?

It may be a prob on your end.

If any of you ever get to see Tommy live, you won't believe your eyes.

Not only is he a technically amazing, but he's sooooo musical. Lastly, he's just fun to watch. The guy is funny, and absolutely loves what he does- his enthusiasm envelopes the room he works in.

I'm sure it is. That's why I hollered for Geek support. When I'm actually at YouTube and click on a vid I get the little icon going around in an endless circle but no vid. As I said I, I have no problem with LiveLeak or others.

36 MacGregor  5/11/08 6:12:46 pm reply quote 0

Recent Windows Update? Particularly for a network card? That would lead to a loading problem, not an error.

Have you cleaned out caches and scanned for adware?

37 MacGregor  5/11/08 6:13:45 pm reply quote 0

And installed the latest flash?

LMAO SemperHunden, no kidding! He looks much like Steve at first glance.

Charles, wow. He's so worthy. Thank you for putting that video on here-- I'll be seeking and buying. Besides s**t-hot talent, humour, and looks.

I was reading about that thing called a wah-wah ring (?) but I don't know enough about it except that it takes the place of the pedal-- does it work with acoustic guitars? anyone know?

Do you have any download accelerators? I've heard that they cause all kinds of problems with YouTube.

If not, perhaps you have a firewall that is blocking it.

Other than those possibilities, I don't know what else it could be.

I had to dump "Better YouTube" [a firefox add-on] because it suddenly refused to play YouTube videos! I would get the spinning dots, and they kept spinning and spinning...

If you have any video add-ons, try disabling them and reboot... it might fix the problem.

BINGO! And it was the Google download accelerator! Ye Olde Beastie is in full tilt boogie mode now.

Thanks, Zach.

It's likely not intentional. Just chalk it up as a bug.

Possible corrections to the above: "that this was...", "the 'this' was..." or Beastie remembers PIMF.

Where can I buy one like his. :)

I have to admit - for the first little bit, I was thinking "basic rock & roll progression. He's OK, but no big deal".

By the end of it, I was amazed. I expected him to douse that left hand in a bucket of ice water and imagined an immense cloud of steam rising from it.

Really nice choice - thanks for the post!

Kaddafi's been playing this "negotiator" extortion racket to finance terrorism for decades now. He's doing it in spades in Darfur as even the corrupt UN acknowledges;

True To His Terrorist Ways

...according to a January 30, 2006, U.N. Security Council report, the Libyan government continues to send weapons to Darfur in violation of the arms embargo. Libyan fighters have joined the militias. In July 2005, one faction "received 35 Land Cruiser vehicles from someone in one of the Libyan security services." As in the Philippines, so too in Sudan. Diplomatic spin might change, but Qadhafi's behavior does not.
