View Full Version : DJ Dan Listening live-chat?
Starrox 09-22-2006, 06:48 PM The topic has already come up in other threads, but I felt like making a poll...;)
So, what do you think? YIM (does anyone know if there's a user limit)? IRC? A thread here? Something totally different?
CrazyLatin007 09-22-2006, 07:19 PM Satrrox, will you set it up? Someone needs to be in charge and have everyone's Yahoo ID in their list. How do we go about doing that? Are you able to look into our profiles and pull the Yahoo IDs?
I think I have to reactivate my Yahoo ID, so, let me know.
aWishResigned 09-23-2006, 02:26 PM Well, if we decide to make a Y!IM Chat, lets just make this thread a place for people to sign-up. They can say something like "Hey, I'm going to be listening, my ID is ______". I'll even vollunteer to send out the invites, if no one else wants to.
ETA: Nevermind
QuinceTheCarpenter 09-23-2006, 03:25 PM Please add me to the chat as quincethecarpenter on YIM.
Thanks!
boodog33 09-23-2006, 03:51 PM I’ll be listening if the site will load for me (it won’t today). Does anyone know the name of the file it uses? I saved it to my hard drive last weekend, but I can’t find it, and I don’t know what it’s called.
I will be using wmp to listen which is slower than mp3, I wonder what this will be like in a chat? I might get a lot of spoilers.:smile:
Please add boodog06 to the chat. Thanks!
Starrox 09-23-2006, 04:51 PM Ok, I finally remembered how I can invite people to a chat (I use Trillian and I somehow never find that option when I need it...), so feel free to add me or leave your name here, I'll try to invite everyone to a chat tomorrow/on Monday then.
QuinceTheCarpenter 09-23-2006, 07:51 PM Ok, I finally remembered how I can invite people to a chat (I use Trillian and I somehow never find that option when I need it...), so feel free to add me or leave your name here, I'll try to invite everyone to a chat tomorrow/on Monday then. I think aWishResigned is planning to host a chat.
aWishResigned 09-23-2006, 08:08 PM It's either/or. I'm happy to host one but if Starrox wants to, that's fine by me. I just want to make sure everyone can get in on the chat.
Starrox 09-23-2006, 08:47 PM Hey, it's not like I absolutely have to do it! ;) Feel free to do it, I don't care either way, I only hope I can stay awake... :grin:
myothercarisflight815 09-23-2006, 08:51 PM I don't have YIM. So an alternative would be nice. I liked the thread last time.
aWishResigned 09-23-2006, 09:29 PM Ok, it's not a big deal to me either but, I'll go ahead and set up the invites to make sure we don't leave anyone out.
I liked the thread we had going last time (definitely helped my post count) but, I got tired of hitting refresh every five seconds pretty quickly into the broadcast. A chat would help this and make the whole thing a lot smoother.
As far as info for the chat, we're going to be using Yahoo!Messenger (http://messenger.yahoo.com/download.php). The sign-up is free and, if you wanted to sign up for just the chat, you wouldn't ever be bothered to use it again. To illustrate, I was talking to Quince who said that he logged on and got an offline message from over a year ago.
To sign up, click here (https://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_register?.done=http://messenger.yahoo.com%2fdownload.php&.src=pg&.intl=us) and fill out the quick form. You can either use their messenger program (which you can download after you fill out the form or click the link in the paragraph above) or, if you are like me and have friends who use a variety of the different mediums, you can use a program called Trillian. It's a hybrid program that allows you to import your screenname from nearly every chat medium. Go here (http://www.download.com/Trillian/3000-2150-10047473.html?part=dl-trillian&subj=dl&tag=button) to download it.
The list of people who want in as of now are:
Starrox
QuinceTheCarpenter
boodog33
DharmaChick
Hanso Founder
EdMuse
Trixired
lostgurl
I plan on sending out the initial invites about an hour before the LiveCast starts. We can make sure everyone gets in, say our hellos and, maybe, get a chance to hear a rehersal broadcast again. If you'd like added to the list, reply to this thread with your ID.
Thanks.
Hanso Founder 09-23-2006, 09:34 PM I'm in as well
QuinceTheCarpenter 09-23-2006, 09:34 PM I plan on sending out the initial invites about 9:30-10:00pm-ish CST. We can make sure everyone gets in, say our hellos and, maybe, get a chance to hear a rehersal broadcast again. If you'd like added to the list, reply to this thread with your ID.
Thanks.
aWishResigned...
Note: that the DJ Dan broadcast will start at 8pm PST so that is 10pm CST.
(I think you were expecting it an hour later than that?)
aWishResigned 09-23-2006, 09:46 PM I'm in as well
Got it.
aWishResigned...
Note: that the DJ Dan broadcast will start at 8pm PST so that is 10pm CST.
(I think you were expecting it an hour later than that?)
And, yes, I had originally thought it started at 11pm CST but, thankfully it's at 10. That's going to make my waking up in the morning that much easier. Thanks for the heads up, Quince.
DharmaChick 09-23-2006, 10:26 PM aWishResigned, thanks again for setting this up and for adding me.
In case anyone needs it, my YIM is: DharmaChick8
EdMuse 09-24-2006, 02:13 AM Awright, although I'm with MOC in preferring to have a thread on the 'Lage, it seems like we're heading toward a YIM chat. So I downloaded YIM. But I know nothing about using it, so I hope someone can post a block of instruction before tomorrow night.
My username is EdMuse1122.
BTW: it planted a toolbar in Firefox that I don't want. How do I make it go away? I can probably figger it out on my own, but just in case, I thought I'd ask.
Figgered. Figaro!
Hanso Founder 09-24-2006, 10:07 AM I'm in as well
sda21@sbcglobal.net
DharmaChick 09-24-2006, 12:01 PM Awright, although I'm with MOC in preferring to have a thread on the 'Lage, it seems like we're heading toward a YIM chat. So I downloaded YIM. But I know nothing about using it, so I hope someone can post a block of instruction before tomorrow night.We can maybe run a thread in here, too, for those who don't have YIM?
Maybe one of us who does have it can post some occasional updates of the transcript from the YIM chat so that they can see what we are discussing?
Hmm... That may be tricky, though. Maybe we could just post a transcript of it when it is over.. I have done that in chats at some other forums in the past.
It could be posted with the link to the recording of the broadcast (I'm sure that a recording will be posted somewhere)
Just a random idea.
boodog33 09-24-2006, 12:24 PM I have been added to Starrox, QuincetheCarpenter, Dharmachick, Awishresigned. Do I need to add everyone as well? I am new to YIM, so I'm not sure what I need to do.:undecide:
I still can't get radioharvest.com to load. Is anyone else having problems?
http://www.radioharvest.com/
aWishResigned 09-24-2006, 01:09 PM You don't have to add everyone if you don't want to. As long as the person's name is on the list, then I have their ID and they're guaranteed to get an invite from me.
Trixired 09-24-2006, 01:59 PM Add me into for the YIM. Me ID on there is Rednorth_la
I agree having at least a transcript on here for those who don' t have yahoo would be nice since we know everyone can get on here.
I was just happy to see that the time is 8 PST since I get off at 8 EST so I have time to get home and get all set up.
Later
DharmaChick 09-24-2006, 02:14 PM I have been added to Starrox, QuincetheCarpenter, Dharmachick, Awishresigned. Do I need to add everyone as well? I am new to YIM, so I'm not sure what I need to do.:undecide:
I still can't get radioharvest.com to load. Is anyone else having problems?
http://www.radioharvest.com/No. As long as someone knows that you want to be in the chat, you'll get an invite from someone in the room and you will be able to see everyone in it, even if you haven't added them to your friends list. You're all set. :)
I'm having no trouble loading the Radio Harvest site, but I have heard from several other people who have also mentioned that it won't load for them right now.
boodog33 09-24-2006, 02:20 PM I was able to get in with Firefox. There were 2 automatic updates on XP last week, and I think they changed something in Internet Explorer.:undecide:
Hanso Founder 09-24-2006, 02:27 PM Can someone tell me what time in NY that is
In addition, I will be on all day 9/24 in YIM, add me to your buddy list and I'll add you as well in my own group of LOSTIES.
Hanso Founder (sda21@sbcglobal.net)
DharmaChick 09-24-2006, 02:32 PM Can someone tell me what time in NY that is
You're in NY, too? 11pm for us.
Hanso Founder 09-24-2006, 02:38 PM You're in NY, too? 11pm for us.
Yes indeed, born and raised..........But Hate to admit that I moved to CT, that is where I am Lost, LOL
I'll see you and the others, no pun intended @ 11pm
QuinceTheCarpenter 09-24-2006, 03:16 PM I am also having trouble loading www.radioharvest.com (http://www.radioharvest.com) using Internet Explorer. For those that can load that URL, does it redirect to another URL?
The current ads on abc.com and on the DJ Dan website point to www.radioharvest.com (http://www.radioharvest.com)
Last week, the abc.com adds pointed to this site http://www.harvestfilms.com/home2.html (and this one does load for me in Internet Explorer and appears to be Harvest Radio and has an ad on it for DJ Dan ... but maybe this is no longer the correct site?)
Can anyone clear this up?
100%
Also note, there is additional information on the DJ Dan website about the show:
DJ Dan's Podcast Archive page announces that there will be a LIVE DJ Dan podcast on Sunday, September 24, 8pm PST.
Additional info added to the DJ Dan podcast page: Oh, one more thing... keep sending those questions to conspiraspiesunite@hotmail.com. The DJ Dan Mailbag lives!!!

boodog33 09-24-2006, 03:51 PM MatthePale said he believes the correct stream is the one that is not broadcasting right now. Thanks for putting both links up.

Thanks Starrox. Unfortunately, none of the direct links you provided seem to work for me from Internet Explorer.
However, I looked at the source HTML and this URL seems to work for me http://www.radioharvest.com/harvest_radio.swf
If you are using Internet Explorer, try this! ;)
Boodog33, could you please post this URL on the other sites you visit?
boodog33 09-24-2006, 04:16 PM I posted the direct link with Interne Explorer elswhere.:)
Starrox 09-24-2006, 04:54 PM The first two links I posted are the links embedded in the swf-file you two posted the link to, so if you can open them from there, the direct links should be working as well. ;)
You probably have to open them in Windows Media Player or Winamp or similar directly, that's how I got them to work (except for the first stream, it can't get it to load anymore!).
aWishResigned 09-24-2006, 05:08 PM The program I used last time is one called VLC Media Player. It's got a pretty basic GUI but has literally played everything I've thrown at it (live streams, videos of all codecs, dvds, etc.). I can't remember the exact address to find it but you can google VLC and it comes up pretty fast. It's a SourceForge project so, it's got a lot of credibility. Anyways, the mp3 stream prompts you to download a file and works right with it. I didn't run into any problems whatsoever last time.
boodog33 09-24-2006, 05:35 PM Quinc's link works grat for me with either wmv or mp3.
http://www.radioharvest.com/harvest_radio.swf
I will use mp3 this time if it's faster. I thought I had to have an Ipod to use this option, but it doesn't look like it.:)
DharmaChick 09-24-2006, 06:51 PM There is some weird chatter on the stream right now. Some guys nate, todd, and carly discussing random stuff about wierd dream interpretations about going to a ball game and getting a slushie that has spiders and nightcrawlers in it...
Hanso Founder 09-24-2006, 06:58 PM It is boring>It is putting me to sleep
DharmaChick 09-24-2006, 07:27 PM Sounds like it's over because they did a sign-off. Perhaps just music until the broadcast now.
Some people were saying that it sounded like their voices doing a fake radio show to test things out. Not so sure about that, but it's possible....
100%
Now there was an ad saying it's 104.7 fm radio...
Richardstone 09-24-2006, 07:36 PM I still can't get radioharvest.com to load. Is anyone else having problems?
http://www.radioharvest.com/
It's not working for me either?
:frown:
golf_fan 09-24-2006, 07:40 PM For those who can't get the streaming links to work, Firefox is a quick download and you can handle everything from there according to Boodog. If you wish, you could get the stream up then minimize Firefox and connect to chat via IE.
Just another way around the problems anyone may experience.
DharmaChick 09-24-2006, 07:40 PM It's not working for me either?
:frown:Try http://www.radioharvest.com/harvest_radio.swf
Richardstone 09-24-2006, 07:44 PM Try http://www.radioharvest.com/harvest_radio.swf
Aha!
That worked instantly, thanks DharmaChick.
I think I'm gonna stay up and listen to this one, it's the last bit so I can't really miss it can I?
:biggrin:
DharmaChick 09-24-2006, 07:49 PM Aha!
That worked instantly, thanks DharmaChick.

:biggrin:Great! I'm glad that it worked. Can't take credit for it, though, that was QtheC's discovery. :)
If you're up, feel free to join us in the YIM chat.
Just leave your screenname on this thread.
Hanso Founder 09-24-2006, 07:49 PM I rather listen to this music then the interview about the dreaming
DharmaChick 09-24-2006, 07:52 PM I rather listen to this music then the interview about the dreaming
Agreed. The music is nothing special, but it's not sleepy and weird.
msfiction 09-24-2006, 08:10 PM Could I please be added to the chat as leslieannfiction on YIM.
Thanks!

I know you got it to work, RS, but just in case anyone else needs help, try this address: http://sc6.lga.llnw.net:80/stream/abc_live. It's the direct link embedded in the mp3 file. Might help some of the people having trouble.
I rather listen to this music then the interview about the dreaming
This music is actually pretty cool. I'm working on a few site designs right now before everything starts up and it's the perfect background music. I love it.
Could I please be added to the chat as leslieannfiction on YIM.
Thanks!
Got ya. Think I'll start the invites in about an hour. So if anyone's hungry (like me), get your food now. :D

EdMuse 09-24-2006, 08:31 PM I'm in on the stream with no problem using Firefox, QtheC's link, and iTunes.
But I still have no idea what I'm doing with YIM. What's going to happen when I receive the invite? What do I do?

I have to agree, I was having trouble putting my youngest one to sleep when I turned it back one and with the stream playing in the backround she is fast asleep,
I AM NOW JAMMING AND ROCKING MY HEAD:cool: back and forth

Once again sda21@sbcglobal.net is my YIM info Hanso Founder--
I have just opened a Chat room on YIM
boodog33 09-24-2006, 08:47 PM Can I be invited and then be half there? We have just started fixing dinner, and if my son IM’s from Iraq, I will drop everything to chat with him. Do I need to be invited back or can I just stay in very quietly?:)
msfiction 09-24-2006, 08:59 PM Is anyone listening right now? This is a very odd song they are playing, I must say. And they keep playing it over and over again.

I'm sure no one will mind if you stop talking to us to talk to your son in Iraq. I certainly won't mind.
I might have to disapear for a little bit during the poscast, when I try to call in.
Hanso Founder 09-24-2006, 09:12 PM If interested in joining an unofficial DJ Dan chat room, and you have YIM , let me know I wil be closing when aWishResigned opens the Official room

aWishResigned 09-24-2006, 09:54 PM Alright guys. The chat is going. I'm sending out the invites to people not already in right now. If you don't get an invite in the next five minutes or so, send me a message on Y!M and I'll get you in.
Carencey 09-24-2006, 09:55 PM can add me whenever it's set up, but I won't have much to say until maybe quarter of...still have some furniture that I'm assembling. :)

Richardstone 09-24-2006, 10:26 PM I'm having troubles with the stream using IE.
Is it worth my while getting Firefox?
I'm just about to download YIM so I can come and chat, but I'd hate to miss the show after staying up so late/early...
It tells me the server is busy???
NOOOOOO!!!!

Stream isn't working for 99% of people right now, regardless of their browser.
Hopefully they are just rehearsing or testing or something.
aWishResigned 09-24-2006, 10:33 PM Yeah. People said they could hear the rehersal last time, which is probably why someone could figure out the Bad Twin clue so 'fast'. I think the fact that they're blocking us this time around might mean we're getting something really good in the LiveCast.

I think the stream is down for pretty much everyone right now. We think they have it blocked for rehearsal or something. I have no opinion one way or the other about Firefox. I have it, but rarely use it.:undecide:
