Thank you for your ongoing efforts. Maybe I'll see you 'round town some day. HCM

Just email me or send me a PM with the email address associated with your PayPal account and I'll take care of it soon as I can.

So far these ads are "low-impact" in their appearance... and I waiting for the final verdict, but it looks like this will keep UnicorNation out of the red and guarantee it's here for Digital Performer 6.0 and beyond!

Folks are probably sick of hearing me say it, but there's so much more to James than meets the eye.
Way to go, Jimbo.
PS: I'm not offering you a way to go, BTW; we all hope you never do!

I honestly didn't even notice the ads until I saw this topic! Not bad at all. Mad props to you and your respectable character James.

Proof of the insidious nature of all ads.
Even good ones.

Hey James, don't you still get that annual fruit basket from MOTU during the holidays??

Another vote in favor of the ads...very tastefully done.

Shooshie, I'm sorry...that just sounds so damned funny to me.

Hehehe... nope. No fruit basket... lol. I vaguely recall somebody said that once didn't they? Oh well... so shoot me... I like Digital Performer a lot.

Good! Somebody finally laughed!

That was a multi-level post, but I think either others didn't find it comical, or else were afraid they'd offend me by laughing! Oh well... I get my little kicks...

Fun with contextual ads. Contextual sex! But the ads don't seem to do that anymore as they did in the early days of Google's contextual ads. I've seen some pretty bizarre matchups in those things. I can't remember the context now, but one batch included sex toys and mortuary supplies ads mixed together. Yechhh! Only artificial intelligence can do that.

Hey, Shoosh

Silly me; I assumed you were using the ol' advertising trick of, well, mentioning the word to attract attention.
Amazingly, it even worked on this decade-and-a-half celibate ape!

Shooshie wrote:Yeah, they're not a problem. See my other post--I tested to see if it picked up on "sex" to see what kind of raunch might appear when we're least expecting it, but nothing! It stayed in the technical realm. I actually did a whole page of the word "sex" repeated hundreds of times, but it did not pick up on it at all. (then I deleted it, of course)
I don't think it's going to be a problem.

Until Svetlana gets wind of it.

I couldn't find the ads the first time I looked (just being text, they don't stick out, and I'm half blind from all those tiny fonts in the tracks window and Machfive...

)
