Adopt-a-user
Thanks, Kelli, for your interest in Adopt-a-user. I hoped you'd come on board. In these past few months your knowledge of WWR wiki has without a doubt eclipsed mine. I'm very happy about that. Right from the start with WWR wiki my favorite part has been seeing people learn and it still is. sparx (talk) 19:54, May 9, 2008 (AKDT)
- Thanks for the compliment, but I doubt that my knowledge has surpassed yours. I'm getting bolder though. :-) It is great to watch people learn the WWR wiki! Kelli (talk) 20:00, May 9, 2008 (AKDT)
Thanks, Atuu, for your interest in the Adopt-a-user thing. With the support of folks like you it's sure to fly. sparx (talk) 19:49, May 9, 2008 (AKDT)
- Aww shucks sparx!
::blush I am just trying to emulate the Wheathead that selflessly led me by the hand when I first showed up here...I believe the name was sparx!::;) Atuuschaaw (talk) 20:04, May 9, 2008 (AKDT)
Wirth stories behind the songs
Glad I could throw some light on the songs for you Sparx. I have the great pleasure of knowing George and being able to hear him play on a regular basis. I am thrilled to be able to give him as much exposure as possible. Pyrite (talk)
Instrumental lyrics search?
I've been removing that, too, when I come across it on instrumental tunes. 
sparx (talk) 14:05, May 11, 2008 (AKDT)
- Another thought... I wonder if we could talk Mr. Monkey's Happy-go-Lucky bots into removing that lyrics thing from all songs labeled instrumental? sparx (talk) 14:12, May 11, 2008 (AKDT)
- I gotta hope people are tagging accurately. Flying Trout knows music real well and he got into doing a lot of tagging with SuperTagger before we went with the template tagging process. Let's ask Trout! I've not been paying close attention to tagging songs lately... Who else has been tagging? sparx (talk) 16:25, May 11, 2008 (AKDT)
- I'm moving the discussion to Category instrumental talk, so respond there please. sparx (talk) 16:35, May 11, 2008 (AKDT)
Tom Doughty
Hey Sparkit, no problem. I saw a blank page, so i just added it in. Glad that we have something just for WWR from him. Hey, did you notice that his photo isn't coming up in the bio? Looks like a file naming issue, but I remember Jim said/wrote something about the bots coming around to implement the new naming conventions. Ryan (talk) 06:07, May 12, 2008 (AKDT)
- Cool! I fixed up the image thing. The one we had on file for him wasn't him anyhow. However, I didn't notice at the time that it's the same photo we're using for the "what's playing" stuff. sparx (talk) 16:40, May 13, 2008 (AKDT)
Barley Fruit Muffins
Sparkity, I'm munching on some of the most delicious muffins I just made and wanted to share the recipe (and virtual muffin) with you, as you said you like barley too. I started eating it because it's suppose to lower cholestroal, but with the butter and jam I put on these 
it's probably breaking even, we can only hope. It's from the same barely site I gave you the other day. [1] I think it's a pretty good site.
I realized too, that the barley salad could taste really yummy with salmon in there instead of the tuna. ReWoven (talk) 17:09, May 12, 2008 (AKDT)
- Thanks, ReWoven! Those sound yummy, too. I might try some this weekend with craisins and walnuts if the local natural foods store has barley flour. I think they do. That fish/barley salad does sound more appealing with salmon! sparx (talk) 16:44, May 13, 2008 (AKDT)
Thanks Sparkit
Hi, Mike Strasser here. I see that you requested hearing more of my songs I appreciate it. I would recommend that you may wanna be more specific and mention the CD "rash behaviors" as I have 2 CDs there (here?)at WWR and the recent one, rash behaviors, is the one you've heard recently
Again, thanks for the interest

You're most welcome, Mike. I've heard a few of your tunes, liked what I heard and will be requesting more to listen to here. Thanks for allowing us to listen to you on WWR! sparx (talk) 19:37, May 13, 2008 (AKDT)
Sparks for Sparx
Hi Sparx! I see that you finally got to listen to Will Ray's "Sparks" and actually liked it! While I'm sure it will be difficult to supplant ZZ Top's "Master of Sparks" as your all-time favorite "sparks" song, it certainly is (as Marlon Brando would say) "a contenda!" I also thought you might like to take a listen to my latest "ear worm" -- Tom Wait's Road to Peace. Tom is an acquired taste, but something tells me that you'll enjoy this song, even if you're not a big Tom Waits fan. By the way, I've noticed from the song ratings that we have somewhat similar tastes in music. Please let me know what you think! Kimchifox (talk) 19:38, May 14, 2008 (AKDT)
- There you go again getting me in trouble!
I decided to watch the video at work, but the Flash plug-in wasn't installed. So, I tried to install it, but kept getting some error message about insufficient permission. So, armed with an admin password I set out to correct that by opening up permissions on the folders involved. That wasn't successful and I abandoned the notion.
- However, after fiddling with permissions and running the latest OS10 updates, I couldn't launch any of my Adobe products! All my work is done with Adobe products. The error message said uninstall and reinstall was required. Though that would be a cake walk, the disks are 50 miles away in our Chelan office. And this was after making another big mistake this week. Ugh!
- We're not dead in the water though. I have the software on my laptop which I'll lug in tomorrow to get the work done.
- Here's the really silly part — I have that Tom Waits tune already. I rather like ol' Tom. But I wanted to watch the video.
- I rather like the new "Sparks" tune, but you're right it won't supplant "Master of Sparks."

Need Help With Page Development
Hi Sparx
Billybones here. I am trying to figure out how to get my favourites ie David Francey into my page that I am creating. Would appreciate some help. Billybones (talk) 10:24, May 15, 2008 (AKDT)
Hi Sparx!
I would like to create list of favorites (music) like you have on your page. Billybones (talk) 10:27, May 15, 2008 (AKDT)
I figured it out
Hi Sparx!
I figured it out! Billybones (talk) 10:57, May 15, 2008 (AKDT)
