more pranks coming, very SOON... well, the links anyway.

[slenkar]

doesnt work for me lad,ask someone else here to host them

[DJGloworm]

the problem has been fixed. :cool:

[N00N00]

the problem has been fixed. :cool:

no it hasn't - the hank call doesn't work still.

[DJGloworm]

they work fine for me, i redid the hank link.. let me know if it still doesn't work.

[slenkar]

none of them work for me

[Reptromiki]

none of em work dude use www.wakehosting.com

[N00N00]

now only the last call works - both the first 2 are broken. No idea what's going on.

If u have a mac sign up with spymac.net

[Nutronic]

replace the - or spaces with _ or just write the titles with no spaces and try that :) so in that case download them do the changes the re-upload them.

[Reptromiki]

im telling you goto www.wakehosting.com and host them there. no sign up required or any bullshit like that. Go there, Upload your files, Check your e-mail for download link. Prob solved.

[uCKrT]

IM me at "ode to the rebel" and i'll host em for you. ill be at work tonight though so, yeah.

[bedouin]

Doesn't work. Looks like you're linking them from an E-Mail message or something, in which case, it would work fine for you and no one else.

[DJGloworm]

links fixed, it should work now.. switched hosts.

you have to copy and paste the link for now.

[N00N00]

it works now - thanks (you have to copy and past the link - you can't click it).

that call is better than the other two. Hank hill is pretty good at calling people.

you forgot to ask if they knew what a hammer was! I knew you'd have to use the chinese or japanese sound though.

[slenkar]

The bit-rate is far too high you only need 64kbs at the very most,youll notice much smaller file sizes.

quite a good call!

a new hank hill call

hank hill can't seem to find the hardware department (http://www.angelfire.com/az3/djgloworm/images/hank_call_2_-_dJgLoWoRm.wav)

more coming, anyone know of a host where i can remote link these?

[bedouin]

Hmm, those calls went pretty smoothly. Why didn't you do the obvious, and actually call like -- TruValue or something? Cool though. Calling WalMart or KMart would probably work well with the "I'd like the hardware department" comment.

About the hosting. Most ISPs usually give you a complementary 5-10mb (sometimes more) of web space; it's probably a matter of figuring out how to access it. And yeah, as others have noted -- you really need to encode your MP3s differently. That last one was like 17mb, even though it was about a minute and thirty seconds long. Also, you should just go with mono if you didn't already (I didn't check). If you're not real savvy with this kind of stuff just run them through iTunes' encoder until you find an optimal setting.

Might not hurt to edit them with a sound editor and amplify the caller's segments so they can be heard more easily. Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is an open-source editor that works in OS X, Linux, and Windows (it's pretty similar to CoolEdit -- or Audition -- whatever it's called now). But, I used to be an audio freak so I'm probably more particular about these things than others.

Why was the sound breaking up? That was kind of annoying.

[mdmike70]

slenkar i just realized my phone has a speakerphone option.. hooray i can do it. now can you tell me how to set up the call step by step plz?

a new hank hill call

hank hill can't seem to find the hardware department (http://www.angelfire.com/az3/djgloworm/images/hank_call_2_-_dJgLoWoRm.wav)

more coming, anyone know of a host where i can remote link these?

nice - I love it how they don't actually have a hardware department!

wavs are gay though - use mp3

[DJGloworm]

sure thing N00N00, i got lazy on converting that one. more calls coming sometime today whenever i decide to make them.

[slenkar]

DJGloworm you're not one of those people who does the opposite of what people say are ya?

mdmike have you got a microphone?

[DJGloworm]

What you mean by that slenkar?

[mdmike70]

yeah i do but i dont know how to use it... i plug it in and when i blow theres no noise

[DJGloworm]

mdmike, make sure you have it off mute just to make sure it works. but when your making a call mute it so you won't get so much feedback.
