Hi there,

I've set up a new web page to send
musical fractal tune e-cards with 3 D
flower pictures.

Robert!!!!!!!

That is Incredible!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful creation! You've melded so many differing disciplines, and then you turn around and offer it up as something so sweet. Whatta great guy you are!

I *did* install the Cortona client, and what a cool thing - do I need to send myself a bunch of cards, or can I explore the flowers by just previewing? (though I think that *is* the case...)

Two items, and since you remember me as a former software guy (who was obsessed with details, implementations, and bugs) you'll take these as friendly "heads-up" remarks:

1. In the description about how to view the picture in 3D (both on the preview and on the card desc. itself) you have the following text:

"You may also be able to this picture in 3D! When you click on it..."

You are missing the word "see" or "view" after "able", right?

2. Is there any way to put a button on the card, or the card page, that can turn *off* the midi sound? I ask this because in the wider world, if one is in an office environment and one receives something like this, it would be very nice to have a handy way to turn off an unexpectedly tuneful computer (hey, everyplace *I* ever worked it wasn't a problem, but there are some firms at are more uptight...)

OK, that's it, but I'm going to make use of the site this week, and I can't express enough my admiration for you - not only for the implementation, but for being the kind of person that would use talents like this for the purpose of making peoples days brighter...

...that is, until you unveil the card with the dead flowers and ugly music in 12tet!

Very big cheers,
Jon

Yes, you can, just click on the picture in the card creation
screen and you will open it in Cortona. I'll say something
about that. You can also click on it in the preview
page too.

> "You may also be able to this picture in 3D! When you click on it..."

Yes. I'll fix that.

Yes, that can be done - I'll do it.

Nice to have my work appreciated!
