My Avis rental car (a Ford Taurus) continued to give me trouble throughout the trip to Wiscon and Illinois (it wouldn't start reliably - I usually had to try several times using techniques such as waiting a few seconds to turn the key the final bit, putting on the parking brake, wiggling the shift lever, or dancing on the car hood naked and howling

Off-topic, but I just remembered. I'm working on Warp and Weft again; would you like to be put on the filter where I'm posting snippets?

Yay for tons of codes, though.

Please put me on the filter if you found any of my previous comments on the story useful.

Your comments were very useful; I haven't gotten to the point of directly adapting them yet but I will. You should see my most recent post.

Thanks, I see the post!

Hey, awesome! I suppose the codes are only good for the DRMed versions, eh? (They now let you get them un-DRMed for 30 cents more, I gather, although I hear it's only on some songs).

[firecat]

Yes, it's only good for the DRMed versions. If I encountered any un-DRM songs I would buy them instead to support the idea, but so far I haven't encountered any.

[epi_lj]

You can apparently upgrade your songs later for the 30 cent difference, also, so if you buy these and later they come out with un-DRMed versions, you could still get them for that instead of having to re-buy the whole thing. :)

Ah! Good to know.

Where'd you get the goat?

[firecat]

Have you ever found out what happens when you dance naked on the hood of your car and howl at the moon?

[mjlayman]

Erm, no. And considering the slant of my hood, I probably never will.

I missed the naked hood-dancing and moon howling!? Awwwwww, man!
