we might lose the appspot site.

they're insisting on credit card information, and i simply don't have one, nor would i ever qualify for one. i couldn't get one...and, quite frankly, i really don't want one.

i'm actually a little uncomfortable about the premise. i have essentially no traffic, but what if i get traffic? i'm not paying to deploy the site, either. if i have to, i'll move to a different server. but, i might want to get the hint and get off before they start charging, too. it's a little heavy-handed, and i kind of don't like it.

if i can hook it up to paypal, and they don't actually charge me, that's an answer. but if they insist on a credit card then i'm at a dead-end i can't get out of and it looks like i might have to migrate...

the web component will eventually be important in the alter-reality, when i get further into the genealogical and paleoanthropological theories that i built up over 2002-2006. it's going to be a while, but it will eventually get up. for now, it's just a very loose frontend.

at the least, i have to waste some time tonight trying to understand what just happened.

i was up all morning typing offline, and i got the html frontend for inri000 done after i woke up. so that will be up in the next short while. i just need to figure out how to embed an html5 playlist, and run it through a double check.

it's designed so that you can unzip it and launch it in the folder, directly. i've tested it for mp3, ogg and flac and believe it should also work for m4a and wav. apple's proprietary software is not supported by open standards like html5, and it will not embed properly.

i was hoping my fan would be here today, but i guess they got snowed in. tomorrow, hopefully....
