sir, this is a wendy's

@iota that's a good info, thank!

i have to do a group project for this computer science course. :\ i asked to do it myself, she said no, so i'm hoping she puts me in a group where i don't have to do all of the work.

taco bell is the one bright light in these uncertain times.

our valley was very rudely awoken this morning by a 5.7 magnitude earthquake. as if covid-19 weren't enough.

march 2020 is canceled, y'all.

EDIT: fuck me, another 4.6 mw aftershock 10 mins ago. 12 aftershocks at 3.5 mw or higher since 7:10 am. my nerves are just about shot for the day and it's only 1 pm.

our county's health department just announced that they have prohibited dine-in at restaurants, starting at 11pm tonight. take-out, carry out, curbside, etc. are all still allowed. grubhub said they're removing their commission from delivery for now, so that's nice.

despite all of this, i'm most sad that i won't be able to see my grandparents for a while. :( don't want to put them at risk.

feeling #blessed that my dumb-ass bought toilet paper and paper towels at costco a few weeks before all of this started. i already had full packages of both stored in the basement, but forgot. :')

@iota tampermonkey is one option - addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/

there's a chrome version, as well.

i just took a rough math quiz and



missed 10 points because of this, the difference between an 89% and a 96%. -_- i, uh, requested an adjustment.

i legitimately hate rhetorical analysis in english courses. actually, any type of analysis. it's all garbage.

i just wrote a 3.5-page essay without really understanding a gd thing i was talking about and now i'm sleep for 12 hrs. goodnight.

absolutely never. more like, "i'm super full and i regret nothing"

The good news is that this doesn't seem to be anything you're doing wrong. I believe that the plugin is trying to use the audio before it can be found on the page. The script has finished running by the time the .mp3 actually loads, so the "canplay" event never fires, thus the infinitely-spinning loading icon.

I believe it's working here on Pixel Perfect because there are significantly more resources (scripts, styles, images) being loaded than on your test site; by loading these other resources first, the audio has additional time to load before the plugin runs.

To test that theory, I installed this plugin on three test sites: one that is a (mostly) default ProBoards forum, a second that has a few more resources to load, and a third with many more resources. On the first site, I only ever saw the loading icon -- just like on your test site. On the second site, the audio loaded sometimes (telling me that sometimes the plugin ran first). On the third site, the audio loaded every time.

My husband is a much more advanced JavaScript developer than myself, so I'll ask him if he agrees with my findings later today (he likes these problems). Unfortunately, if this is the case, it means that there's nothing you can do because the problem is in the MusicJS plugin itself. However, this would be a good learning opportunity for me, so I might consider writing a new one with similar functionality.

You're welcome to enable your plugins again! I can recreate this separately now.

Oh, sorry, leave the music plugin enabled. >_< Forgot that was a plugin, as well.

Ok, so next step would be to try disabling all plugins except for the Style Tag plugin, which is needed to load your posting templates.

You'll need to leave them disabled for a minute so that I can check the console, if that's ok.
