Your Favorite Webservice Sucks...
Mood:  accident prone
Topic: A Hello to Arms

Bloody f**king fantastic...

Tripod's HTML source code editor is flubbed beyond recognition: it won't accept any of my manual changes such as (hypothetically...) adding a quicktime movie embed into this post. Geeesh! The only solution would be to upload the movie directly into the account I use for this blog and let the idiot-proof script automatically determine how to display my movie, but I'm maxed out on space here...

Anyway, if I want to link to a movie, then, I have to do something retarded and unimpressive, like this:

http://shanekentknolltrey6.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/czechhedgehog.mov

Believe me: if I knew how to actually work at teh interweb I'd make my own website from scratch, but of course I can't, and I'm not willing to put in the hours to make this place respectable...

but facts are facts, and Tripod sucks!

The vid's nothing special: just me playing around with Windows Movie Maker and some sill pictures of the Czech Hedgehog from TYPERS. I found the images whilst cleaning out my HD recently; they're rejects, or at least they were, 'cause I hated 'em. But, tone down the color, add a jaunty tune (My obsession with One Wing Angel continues...) and make the pictures move around a-la Ken Burns, and it's tolerable. Came out better 'n I thought, anyway...

EDIT: I've got a second version where I show a bit more of The Creature at the end (too much in my estimate) but seeing's how the framerate and resolution of the version I did post suffered in the translation, I might put that one up at some time, too.
