h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

'Allo.

Those of you using Firefox might find this handy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5709

It shows YouTube (and other) video clips in a side bar, so you don't need to open a new tab or window.

It's dead handy!

Installed - great find

Thank you, I will see what that is. I tried to watch the trial clip, but there was so much echo, and the womans voice sounded like a computer simulation. If it was, I would really like to know what software was uses. It was almost a natural flow

Well, the voice in the intro bit was altered, or at least there was an echo added to it, if that's what you mean?

Or do you mean the 'soundcheck' one, too? That's my voice proper, I'm afraid, but then that is what the poem is all about - that it sounds like a computer voice.

I am sorry. I thought it was a computer voice program. You must have a good talent to improvise that sound. I will try to look for more videos if they are made.

Well, like I said, the intro was altered, so it does sound computer-esque. As for the other poem, the opinions vary, personally, I found someone describing it as 'exotic' quite nice.

If you subscribe to the AViators' page, you should be alerted to any new submission, I think.

Exotic. Yes, foreign and uniquely different from English. I will try to subscribe as you advise. Thank you.

You're welcome. If you are interested in making clips (be it sound, photos, or films), why don't you send an email to the address given on the AViators' page, saying who you are (h2g2 name and usernumber), and what you think you'd be able to contribute? The more, the merrier.

Oh, and I'm your Ace, so you can come to me (or any ace of your choice) with every question about the site. We'll do your best to answer it.

Don't worry if you're not good at making movies or music - I can't, either.
Your feedback is invaluable, so thanks a lot for that.

I meant we'll do *our* best to answer your questions.

May I ask what the poem is in "sound bites"? I have tried to hear it more, but I can not understand the voice and the pictures are distracting. I am sorry if I am asking too much.

You're right, the over-all quakity of the firefox youplayer is quite low.
