The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

No, I distinctly saw an elf. I know my elves. My elf was there.

So, how many posts so far? Where are you starting? Midnight or when everyone started "morning?"

Gotta know for the record.

Well, on my first attempts I was counting from the "first post of the day" to the "last post of the day", no matter what time those might actually be. That got to be too complicated though, so now I'm just going by actual post date. It all evens out, anyway.

633 for today, and counting. We're about 1300 behind the NES.

I have Quicktime, but it won't play the video! I only get audio!

It's telling me I don't have the right compressor, but when I do my "quicktime update", it says I'm up to date!

ARGH!

HELP! FEAR! FIRE! FOES! AWAKE!

Seems like everybody must have gotten tired of posting for the day. Or too excited by the trailor.

Then there was Hair, who's going to work on her sunburn.

Go to the "About" menu on Quicktime, and see what version you have. If it's 6.1 or later, then it should be all right.

What operating system are you running? You may need to uninstall Quicktime, and then install the latest version (rather than updating.)

I think she was feeling pensive.

I'm running WinXP

The version I have is 5.0.2

EEEW!

Think I should uninstall then reinstall?

Nah, she got over pensive and went to twittery. Remember, it was the trailer.

Ya think she's got a secret backgammon board out at the witch's circle? Maybe she's got a neighbor she goes out there to meet for backgammon.

Yes... I would recommend you go and download the latest version of Quicktime, then uninstall the one you have and install the new one. I have version 6.1 running on Win2000, and the video displayed just fine.

See, that was a pretty cool post number... it is the same backwards as forwards, but upside down it is 90609.

So, while you're working, Bear and I have work to do for the cause of the implosion! Sorry, we'll be here when get done.

ecurbh, THANK YOU for putting that on your site! That was so utterly cool! Would it be all right with you if I gave that link to a couple friends who'll want to see? I don't want to overload your site...
