-- Forewarned is worth an octopus in the bush.
No problems apparent with http://gosper.org/brinicle.mp4 However http://gosper.org/aerobieaero.mp4 is pretty fragile under Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Safari -- it is impossible to skip forward or back, and keeps halting spontaneously, whether viewed inline or downloaded beforehand (80Mb). But Flip Player copes OK. The human-powered flight(?) sequence had me laughing out loud. WFL On 11/29/14, Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote:
