I am looking for people to write information to go along with the pictures on my site. If you have the gift of writing please take a look at my site (http://www.iag.net/~milliner/tmdr) and send me some text to put up on the pages. I am also in the process of designing a Windows95 Theme for TMDR, and I would like to know if there are any suggestions or requests of pictures or sounds to be included in the theme. - -Russell ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 May 1997 19:10:07 -0400 (EDT) From: "Mary A. Brown" Subject: Alloy: A little theme music Hello all, I'm losing my mind working on a poster for a symposium at the end of the week so to destress, I visited a website with MIDI files. Of course it includes "She Blinded Me With Science" so I had to listen. An interesting take on the classic... Paul, there's also a nice version of "Fall At Your Feet" and yes, it was a Crowdie who informed me of the site in the first place. Here's the URL: http://www.carled.demon.co.uk/files.htm Enjoy!

Well, having a conservative appearance is not something I'll ever be accused of, that's for sure. I'm planning on suckering friends in Russia and Uzbekistan to snap some pics of me on "Peewee's Big Third World Adventure" next month (wearing some of my designs) so they can be scanned in for my future web site. Maybe I can get myself arrested again in Uzbekistan for creating a public disturbance (and have it all photo-documented this time...) >GRUESOME CONTENT FOLLOWS: > >People need a healthy creative outlet. How many times have we heard the >neighbor speaking of the man who just fed his wife to the chipper-shredder: >"but he seemed so NORMAL" No kidding - I could tell you some stories about people going berzerk in my home town on the Mississippi (bring a strong stomach, kids, and I'll share tales over a cup of herbal tea...) It's 12:30 at night, it's about 65 degrees out, and I'm listening to "Aliens Ate My Buick." I've got the balcony door open, there's a light breeze and a train whistling past, and "My Brain Is Like A Sieve" has just started. It's time to sign off and just enjoy the mood for a few moments (before I go crashing into bed.) 'Night, all - and Happy Mother's Day to all our maternal types out there. Cheers, Melissa, whose brain IS, indeed, rather sieve-like... Melissa R. Jordan Special Projects Manager International Programs Office Goodwill Industries International, Inc.

Some of my >friends are interested, but I can't remember where I put that informative >letter you sent when I first joined. . . Sheesh, first time I ever heard a list subscribe say 'post the FAQ /more/ often.' ;-) I think the following is what you mean, if it's not, just yell at me okay? Oh, and of course you can always direct them to either my Al page which has a little more of me rambling on or just email me direct. I'm always really chuffed about someone contacting me out of the blue about Alloy because someone else mentioned it. cheers, Paul. - --- cut here --- >>>> info alloy Welcome to the Alloy list (in email form). * What's Alloy all about? Alloy is a mailing list with one broad aim in mind: to provide a medium for us to chat about all things Dolby: the work, the history, the behind-the-scenes-peeks, the oh-did-you-knows, and the gentleman himself, Thomas Dolby. Oh, and let's not forget about a certain two dimensional M-class planet either. :-) Alloy's initial intent was to provide an interim open list between the time the dolby-l list at Kaleidospace closed and the official Flat Earth Society list becomes an open list. The companion between the ending of one universe and the beginning of another, if you will. If you're not sure what I mean here, I recommend you take at least one viewing of The Gate To The Mind's Eye video and see me in the morning! If you're new to Alloy, I'd like to bid you a warm welcome. I hope you'll enjoy it here! * How do I join Alloy? Just send email to and in the body of the message put: SUBSCRIBE alloy * How do I leave Alloy? Funnily enough you send email to and in the body of the message put: UNSUBSCRIBE alloy * How do I post messages to Alloy? Email it to and it'll be forwarded to everyone on the list within minutes. Don't be shy! We're a friendly lot here: the only silly question is the one that goes unasked! * How do I reply to an Alloy message? Just hit the reply button and you'll be fine. * There's too many messages! Can I have Alloy in digest form? You most certainly can, just email with the following in the body of the message: UNSUBSCRIBE alloy SUBSCIBE alloy-digest end and of course to switch back, just do the opposite commands. * Is there anything else I need to know? Yes. :-) Oh, details? Well here we go: 1. To get help on commands you can use with the Alloy list, send email to with the body containing the word HELP. Shortly afterwards you'll receive a file detailing the finer points of listserver commands. 2. In order to reduce (hopefully to 0) the number of junk-mail messages you get on this list, we've restricted the list to post messages of 7k or less and to only accept posts from people subscribed to the list. If your message is longer than 7k, don't worry it will get through, it'll just be delayed slightly. thanks for your time, and any questions, please feel free to contact me. stay well, Paul. __________________________________________________________________________ Paul Baily paulb@thehub.com.au Consulting SE/IT Mercenary http://www.thehub.com.au/~paulb Brisbane, Australia There is a spirit here that won't be broken ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V2 #82 **************************
