Pulp Free

Today is the start of my Earworms section - more commonly known as “song stuck in one’s head“. These are going to be a selection of songs that I’m currently listening to. Most will probably be some sort of bubblegum pop song - but you know… oh well!

I give you the Earworm sample:

hellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms) - (Song Sample)

This tune is almost sugary sweet and includes all of the required music measures. It has a basic beat, silly love song lyrics and the “Cher” vocoder effect to good use. Try it out… Let me know what you think…

Feel like having lyrics to sing to?

I like where we are,
When we drive, in your car
I like where we are…. Here

Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here

Well you are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper’s hello I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there’s no place else I could be but here in your arms

I like where you sleep,
When you sleep, next to me.
I like where you sleep… here

Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here

Well you are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper’s hello I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there’s no place else I could be but here in your arms

Our lips, can touch
Our lips, can touch…here

You are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper’s hello I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there’s no place else I could be but here in your

You are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper’s hello I miss you miss you
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there’s no place else I could be but here in your arms

Here in your arms.
Here in your arms.

For all you ladies on the go - this is for you…

So that you don’t have to waste your weekend… I wasted mine. Sometime over the last Friday night network on my studio/office computer stopped working. First I thought my media server was just not working - but it turns out Windows was telling me my network cable was unplugged. I sighed.

Long story short, turns out (after a full day of running up and down two flights of stairs to test and moving my entire studio around) I settled on the problem being my craptastic SMB 8-port gig router (SMCGS8 if you happen to have one…). Once I shuffled the cables around to ports that did work I sat down to watch some episodes of Holmes On Homes over my XBOX 360 Media extender - nothing worked. Blah.

My XBOX 360 could connect to LIVE so what the hell? It’s a wired network. Shouldn’t be having issues, right? So I put on my tech support hat and deleted the MXD profiles and started the connection process again. Easy - I’ve done that many times before for whatever reasons. (Technically as any good tech support person would do, I rebooted everything!)

Should have worked, right? Wrong. While I was about ready to get myself a new Dell 2716 router to replace my SMC one - I came across this forum posting. Thank YOU! Seems that the Media Extender doesn’t like when your computer has more than one IP address or more than one NIC card (yeah - I know that it’s redundant to say NIC and card.) So I disabled the second NIC in my server - relaunched the connection program and I’m back in business! (I’ll probably have to get a new router some time…) I’m soooo happy that I found that post. Do you know how hard it is to find a solution for such a vague error message on Google? You end up finding a thousand pages about people who don’t even know how to… well - never mind!

So if you’re facing an “XBOX 360 Not Found” message in your media extender and you KNOW your network is correct - double check your NICs or IP addresses on your MCE computer.

Well, I didn’t think that I was going to drop anything in here from YouTube - but I just laughed when I saw this… So I suppose that I’ll end up putting a few of these time wasters on my list…

Classic cartoons…

If you scroll down a bit and look on the right hand side on the front page, you’ll see a new weather menu. I’m not sure what my obsession is with needing to know such information - but it’s there for all to see. Or just me to see… who knows!

Thanks for the WeatherIcon plug-in…
