We get so strange across the border

My poem "Domovoi, I Came Back!", after elisem's pendant of the same name, is now online at the first issue of Stone Telling.

It's a rather incredible first issue.

I had the same problem with "Train Go Sorry" - I'll have to try it at home. Everything I have seen so far - wow.

Hm.
I run linux and can't hear it but can see it, which is fine with a couple years of (okay half-forgotten) ASL. But not playing at all -- that's unexpected.

It worked on the PCs we checked on, though it's in a Mac-specific format. Might be able to troubleshoot that with our resident computer geeks...

It didn't work on one of my home macs, but I've been having trouble with video on that. I'll try it on the laptop.

Sam (and Sonya), please let me know if you manage to play it, and on which machine(s) it doesn't play. This is rather worrisome; we tested it on different platforms, and unless I manage to recreate the non-playing context, I am not sure how to fix and test it.

I added a clickable text of his poem to the page, but honestly one needs to see the video for the ASL/English bilingual aspect, otherwise I feel the power of that poem is greatly diminished.

OK, I tried it again on the big Mac with Firefox and although the Quicktime icon hung a bit it did play - I think the problem was on my side. I'll try it at work later.

I hope people don't click on the text before watching it! It is powerful.

OK, worked on my PC at work with IE!

Sam (and Sonya), please let me know if you manage to play it, and on which machine(s) it doesn't play.

I have a MacBook Pro; my browser is Safari; and as of this morning, "Train Go Sorry" plays fine on my machine. Go know. I'm very glad to be able to see it, though.
