I finally did listen to your site-music (Zeitmusik?). Then I went over to the source to try to make one from my site, and what it produced had no apparent sound. Am I That Bland? Anyway, I was going to try it again before commenting on your post again, but I never got a round tuit.

Sterling, I just ran your site through and FTP’d the MIDI file for you here:
http://www.makeyougohmm.com/sounds/chipsquips-soundslike06122006.mid
Not sure how long it will stay up there, so snag it at your earliest convenience. Your file is much smaller than mine but I’m guessing it’s because you have a smaller home page than Hmm.

Hey, thanks, TDavid! You didn’t have to go to all that trouble! OK, I’ve snagged it, so you can remove from your site when ready. Just a drum beat is all I hear, not quite as exciting as your site’s sounds. Still, I’ll put it up and give you some linkage on that, mate.

[…] I had some trouble with the site at first, and then I had to do some other things and forgot about it. TDavid was nice enough to make a sound file for my site, though, and uploaded it to his site for me to download. Now it’s here. […]

Wasn’t any trouble, really, I entered your URL, it generated the file and then I FTP’d it to the server and changed the name and then posted a comment response here. I decided it was the least I could do with how you helped troubleshoot that link last week.
You might want to listen in headphones as I picked up other sounds from mine when I listened in headphones. Your site has a more rocking upbeat tempo than here.
