 		[CHAT] With Emily (17th Sept)
Quote:

*** Emily has joined #32ndnotes
<Emily> Oh, hello. People are here, he he!
<Jehane> Hi Emily
<Emily> Oh, hello again Jehane.
<Emily> I just keep running into you.
<Jehane> Heh, yes..
<Jehane> How are you doing today?
<Emily> I've been better... my mom really yelled at me last night.
<Emily> I think she got stressed out from work.
<Jehane> That's a shame... did you make up?
<Emily> Uh huh.
<Jehane> Good..
<Jehane> Did you get my email?
<Emily> Um... no... I've been trying to get my website to function, and have not checked my mail.
<Emily> Freewebs won't let anything be uploaded, but I can change my pages.
*** Stormalong has joined #32ndnotes
<Jehane> oh, what happens when you try to upload?
<Emily> I can't even get that option.
<Emily> It seems freewebs is temporarly down.
<Jehane> that's very odd..
<Emily> Yes, they said it would be online in 30 minutes, about.
<Jehane> Have you met Stormalong? He's a friend of mine.
<Emily> Yes, we were talking last night.
<Emily> Hello again Stormalong.
<Stormalong> Hi Emily! (again)
<Jehane> Is there anything we might be able to do to help, Emily?
<Emily> With the maintainance?
<Emily> Apparently not.
<Stormalong> Do you use IM Emily?
<Emily> Not often... my friends do, but I don't like to.
<Jehane> Was it One Step Closer you were trying to upload?
<Stormalong> Just thought it might be more reliable than this chat program.
<Emily> No, I can't even access the upload page, it tells me it's down.
<Jehane> I see
<Jehane> Oh well, probably just routine maintenance..
<Emily> Nothing we can do but wait for freewebs to correct it.
<Stormalong> I have a website I could host it on if you'd like.
<Emily> Yeah, that's what the page says.
<Stormalong> What page is that Emily?
<Emily> Thank you Stormalong, but I'll just wait the 30 minutes.
<Emily> Um, my upload page. I can't add any files, music, or images because the freewebs uploader is under maintaince.
*** Stormalong has quit (Quit: FreeWebs Chat)
*** Stormalong has joined #32ndnotes
<Jehane> What made you think to start this site Emily?
<Stormalong> oops. closed the window by mistake
<Jehane> Just a love of music?
<Emily> Well, I really really liked music.
<Emily> Yeah.
<Emily> And I felt that maybe I could meet other people who liked music too!
<Emily> And, it was funny, I started this site, but no one came.
<Stormalong> A little embarrased to say that I have that Backstreet Boys song in my collection.
<Jehane> Heh - I love Daft Punk
<Jehane> And that SClub Juniors song is always in my head Smile
<Emily> I wish Daft Punk would make a new CD...
<Stormalong> Rock DJ is an excellent song too.
<Jehane> Yeah... Robbie was always my favourite Take That member Very Happy
<Emily> Let me check my upload age again...
<Stormalong> Emily, do you happen to still have any of the old files that got corrupted?
<Emily> Just Superheroes, sorry.
<Emily> I formatted my computer after the site bombed because my brother screwed up windows.
<Emily> I found Superheroes because I put it on a zip disk.
<Jehane> how many files originally got corrupted?
<Emily> I had about 30 clips up, and about 15 got corrupted, so about half.
<Jehane> what other kinds of artists did you have up?
<Emily> Geez... hmmmm..
<Emily> Britney,NSync,Backstreet,Madonna,Robbie,Captain Jack,Good Charlotte...
<Emily> Daft Punk,Will Smith,John Mayer...
<Stormalong> oooh, Good Charlotte, yay
<Emily> Oooh, White Stripes, can't forget them...
<Jehane> Oh, I love the White Stripes



Still ongoing... questions?

 		why was her mom mad at work! Why stressed out? Does she yell a lot? You could mention anything semi-personal that relates? (that's a stretch, but may engender emily to us, get her on "our side")

Also, what about her dad?

 		[Joke]
Tell her you're Nigerian Royalty and that you need her to send you money, and that it's not a scam at all...
[/joke]

Maybe also, she could tell us if she knows anyone named Rowen? Or Stephen?

Quote:

<Emily> I tried to keep it a little varied.
<Stormalong> variety is the key
<jonathan> Hello Emily
<Emily> Hello Jonathan, are you here for music or to help me?
<Emily> It seems more people come to help than to listen to music anymore, he he.
<jonathan> What music do you like?
<Jehane> heh, I'm here for a little bit of both Smile
*** Gix has joined #32ndnotes
*** Leo has joined #32ndnotes
<Emily> Wow, so many people!
<Jehane> if we help you, then you can share more of your music.. so that can only be good Smile
<Emily> Yeah, you're right Smile
<Leo> we do love music....
<Emily> Very Happy
<Gix> How was you're day Emily?
<NashCarey> Emily, does the music files get distorted if you put them anywhere other than you site?
<Emily> Gix: Pretty good.
<Emily> Nash: Well, I never tried.
*** Stormalong has quit (Quit: FreeWebs Chat)
<NashCarey> Well, would you care to try?
<NashCarey> I understand if not.
*** Stormalong has joined #32ndnotes
<Emily> Hmmmmm, well, actually.
<Emily> I remember I sent one to my friend via hotmail, and nothing happened to it.
<Emily> But I haven't tried anything like that recently.
<Jehane> I think something is happening in the upload delay you mentioned
<NashCarey> Ok, so if you would like to try... Please email one to me..
<Gix> could you try it? by sending it to someone of us?
<jonathan> what's your friends email addy
<NashCarey> err ********@gmail.com
<Emily> Well, we can try.
<Emily> I'll send Jet World, since it's ready to be uploaded.
<NashCarey> GREAT!!
<Jehane> Emily-can you send to me also? You have my address..
<jonathan> could you send it to me please- *********@gmail.com
<Jehane> ******@lycos.co.uk
<Emily> Eeek, everyone wants one!
<Gix> and my too please *********@hotmail.com
<Jehane> It might be worth trying a few addresses - maybe different email servers will handle it differently.
<NashCarey> Good Point Jehane!
<Emily> Ok, working oni it.
<Stormalong> Sorry Emily, I've got to be going. Hopefully I'll chat with you again later.


EDITED - cut out some useless things and starred out email addresses.

 		OH! Ask if the 30 minute delay is the same type of thing that happened before, or if it just seems to be Freewebs' thing... (I know it's pretty much consensus, but it would sure clarify a lot for now, at least...)

 		Sorry if this is long.. I'll edit to just the most important bits when it's over.

Quote:

<Emily> Ok... now I have to zip the file because hotmail doesn't like it.
<Emily> Or, hey, I'll cut it, that should work.
<Jehane> yeah, hotmail is funny with large attachments
<Gix> Sad damm hotmail
<Emily> Ok, it's sent.
<Jehane> ah, i see it in my inbox already
<Gix> got it
<Leo> Hey, emily, how did you get the name for your site?
<Jehane> wow, that's a crazy little song! Smile
<Emily> I can't play 32nd notes, so I named my site after my problem.
<Leo> hehe
<Emily> They're too fast.
<Jehane> hee hee Smile
<Gix> sounds nice
<Leo> what instrument do you play?
*** Satanis7 has joined #32ndnotes
<Satanis7> Hey everyone Smile
<Emily> I play the trumpet.
<Emily> Hello Satanis... ooh... scary name.
<Leo> wow, that is cool
<Jehane> Cool.. I play the flute and violin.. bit rusty though
<Satanis7> hehe... Hiya emily.. it's my last name and favorite number
<Emily> Wow, that's some last name.
<Satanis7> Yeah.. I know.. My teachers have always had a bit of an issue with it.
*** GluKoza has joined #32ndnotes
<Emily> So, well, nothing wrong with the song?
<Jehane> Emily, the file seems fine
<Jehane> no corruption as far as I can tell.
<Jehane> how about the rest of you?
<Leo> you should post it to your site and see what happens
<Jehane> how's freewebs doing?
<Leo> they all seem to have been recieved fine
<Emily> Oh, well, that's good to hear that the song is ok.
<Jehane> yes, at least your internet connection in general is fine..
<Jehane> .. just the website that has the problem
<Emily> Apparently so...
<Jehane> so I guess that must be good to know
<Leo> it will definitely help us in tracking down the problem
<Jehane> Yes, that's very true Leo!
<Satanis7> Sounds like a server error...
<Emily> Well, Freewebs won't take responsiblity.
<Emily> I've talked to them already about this, and it's not their fault.
<Satanis7> Emily, did you code your own site?
<Emily> No, there's a thingy on here that does it for me.
<Jehane> I don't think it's Freewebs problem either.. there's something odd going on.
<Emily> I have no clue how to do this stuff.
<Satanis7> lol.. me neither em.
<Satanis7> Jehane, maybe it has to do with the transfer itself?
<Satanis7> Emily... when you send the file through e-mail, do you do it through the web, or through a client like eudora?
<Jehane> I think you're right Satanis..
<Jehane> Emily mentioned there was an unusual delay after upload
<Jehane> I think somehow the files are being intercepted and corrupted somewhere.
*** jonathan has quit (Quit: FreeWebs Chat)
<Satanis7> Can't someone do that by interfering with the ip ports?
<Jehane> It's entirely possible, though I don't know the details.. my computing degree is so long ago now Wink
<Satanis7> I remember reading about something called "scanning" and it havving to do with various virtual ports that are used when uploading.
<Emily> I use the freewebs uploader for my uploading, that's why I blamed freewebs.
<Satanis7> But you do it through your web browser, right?
<Satanis7> Or do they have some other way to do it?
<Satanis7> Sorry if I ask a lot of questions... It's been a long day at school.
<Emily> I agree. Way too long.
<Emily> I'm glad it's the weekend.
<Jehane> days at school are always too long Smile
<Emily> I'll probably have the house to myself again.
<Emily> Which is nice.
<Jehane> do you have any plans?
<Satanis7> I love those weekends.
<Emily> No, just sit at home and babysit.
<Emily> I have to make sure my brother is ok.
<Jehane> How old is he?
<Emily> He's only 2 years younger than myself. But he's slightly retarded...
<Emily> So, I really can't leave him alone, and my mom's always working.
<Satanis7> Em... you sound like me, except it was my cousing, and he's older than I am.
<Jehane> That must be stressful.. how old are you?
<Emily> 14
<Emily> Very stressful sometimes, but rewarding.
<Satanis7> Indeed.
*** jonathan has joined #32ndnotes
<Satanis7> Plus, it's good experience.
<Emily> I wish my mom was home more often though.
<Leo> It is great that he has a sister like you to look out for him
<Satanis7> Where is she?
<Satanis7> Working?
<Emily> Yeah.
<Emily> She's always working...
<Satanis7> What does she do?
<Satanis7> My mom was a chemical engineer until she got into a car accident.
<Emily> She works in the nearby FBI office.
<Emily> Oh, wow, I'm so sorry Satanis.
<Satanis7> It's ok, she's still around, just hard for her to work.
<Emily> Yes, I understand.
<Satanis7> So... you're a freshman?
<Jehane> What kind of work does she do? FBI always sounds interesting..
<Emily> Yep, freshman. High School scares me.
<Emily> Very very active.
<Emily> And, well... she's an officer... but that's all I know.
<Satanis7> Yep.. I remember... It was only a few years ago for me.
<Emily> She really can't talk about it.
<Satanis7> Ah, yeah, they usually can't.
<Satanis7> Does she use your computer too?
<Emily> No, she has her own.
<Emily> Very nice one. We're not allowed to touch it.
<Satanis7> lol.. that's how it was with my mom's comp too... but I would sneak in and use it.
<Satanis7> lol


EDITED - Tried to cut it down a little.

 		EXCELLENT JOB, Sequoya! You're inserting those things perfectly! Dang! I wish I was there! (I'm glad most of the ruffians have left the room though (not you, sir stormsalot (Cool)... so people who are aiming at doing something actually do that something..)

It is my distinct opinion that her mother is involved somehow. Either that is the reason for the car accident, or that was coincidence and that the computer holds the key. (sorry, no pun intended...) And regardless, I think we've gotta motivate Emily to get to that computer (at some point)..

 		More - Summary: Look out for new files coming soon!
Mom's computer may be involved in the corruption - they are networked..?

<Jehane> Hehe!
<Emily> Phew, wow, thank god for that!
<Satanis7> Definetly!

<Emily> Yeah, we both have cable internet through a router.
<Emily> Now to change the page to show the links...
<Leo> hmm, is her computer always on, or does she usually leave it off?
<Emily> She turns it off.
<Emily> I like to leave mine on, I don't believe in shutting it down.

 		Sorry, got caught up trying to cut the length of the other posts down.

Here's the last part (Edited as best as I can):

Quote:

<Emily> Hmmm.. it's doing it again.
<Emily> It won't let me link to my music.
<Emily> But the files are there.
<GluKoza> weird
<Emily> Just wait a minute, and the links will work, magically.
<Satanis7> lol
<Emily> Then again, I don't believe there's magic on the internet. Just alot of people.
<Satanis7> You're going to be an IT professional someday!
<Jehane> So this is the upload delay then..
<Emily> Yep.
<Emily> So, how is everyone else today?
<Jehane> not too bad thanks Smile
<Jehane> like you, glad it's Friday
<Satanis7> tired.
<Jehane> looking forward to a lie-in tomorrow..
<Leo> well, dont give up on your site Emily
<Leo> we will do what we can to figure this all out
<Jehane> Agreed
<Satanis7> Yep. Me too.
<Satanis7> Even if it's just providing comedy.
<Emily> He he.
<Emily> Ok, check the page.
<Emily> I think it worked, finally.
<Jehane> Excellent!
<Satanis7> Yep, it did
<Jehane> I can see all the files
<Jehane> Thanks.
<Satanis7> Good job em
<Satanis7> Oh em, btw, thanks for the techno Smile
<Emily> No problem Satanis, wait, you were the one who suggested it?
<Satanis7> Yeah
<Emily> Well then...
<Emily> Heh, refresh the page Satanis.
<Satanis7> hehe.. thanks for the shout out em Wink
<Emily> Anyway, I must go... I need some dinner...
<Emily> Take care everyone.
<Jehane> Take care Emily
<Satanis7> You too! Nice meeting you em!
<Emily> Buh-bye!
<Jehane> See you again soon.
<GluKoza> Ciao
