Hmmm... I'm getting a login screen instead of a file view. You might need to enable sharing (don't know about how Box does it, but in Google Drive the file needs to be shareable with "anyone who has the link URL").

Thanks for reminding me to check these out, Ranthe! I'd gotten so tangled up in other stuff I'd forgetten to download them!

Nice work, SteveKing! 8)
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Well I did try "Ocker" for the "Uncle Ump's Umpty Candy" ad in this YAH reading, though I expect it probably got mangled by my inherent Kiwi accent ;-)

Kiwi! Positively refined next to 'Stroin. Probably the Chinese Gooseberries you've got in your cheeks instead of plums :lol:

Still it'd be better than my Kiwi :)

Here's another selection from the Ooni and Western DJ Paul Yorlegge, transmitting from somewhere out near Ararus on comms station Q.L.D.O.Z. Haven't decided what system yet, but it'd have to be a moderate tech, mainly agricultural world.

I'm not necessarily into C&W, but I like the character and it suits the music. There's a selection of patter (together with the Milky Way Kid stuff) at this link -

https://app.box.com/s/avdtniunm1227n2qys9y (Again crossing my fingers that it works because I moved the DJ stuff to a separate directory in box, but it seems to work)

Basic order
intro1, request1, songintro1, [pref “Doing My Time” Johnny Cash song], callout1 or 2, request2, patter2, songintro2, [“Nine to Five” song], callout1 or 2, patter1

[I'm having a bit of trouble uploading callout2 :? so I'll try a bit later.]
Edit: Callout2 uploaded as well now

There's also a couple of ads (one from Jameson and the other from QLDOZ - I thought I'd do a campaign for "Maxx Autos". I'll try and work up a YAH billboard image, so if I'm struggling with it I'll be asking a few 'how to' questions.


Anyow, avagoodweegend :wink:
