Since I've downloaded the Monkey & installed it (full version) everytime I download an MP3 now, or create an audio file of any description, it comes with a <b>.mp3</b> in its actual title e.g. <b>How To Be Dumb.mp3</b> When I remove the .mp3 the audio file simply reverts to a data file & won't play until I re-add the .mp3 in the title. (Same with all other extensions, <b>.wav</b> etc.). How the fuck do I revert the whole system back to simply being able to download or create audio files MINUS the <b>.mpe</b> etc as part of the title? Podbean will only take alphanumeric characters & so I can't actually upload any podcasts at this time, so it's a bit of a pissing headache. Cheers, guys. DC Toad, I have a quick techie question, which I know I’d be able to sort out myself if I had the time…

The commute isn't so bad actually. I take the train for about 75 minutes of it, and so I can read, listen to music, etc. Also, I am fortunate enough to work in an office that allows telecommuting, so I actually work from home half the time. On those days, the commute is from my bed to the kitchen to my little office, and I get to kiss the kids goodbye as they get on the school bus, etc. It's just that two days every week I have a four-hour round trip commute. So you see I really am shockingly intelligent, if not an outright genius. Well, I made it. The commute isn’t so bad actually.

Would that be South Gyle by any chance Dylan? That was the first place I ended up working when I lived in Edinburgh (many moons ago): not quite the historic ambience I was anticipating. I still remember the expressions of near-suicidal gloom on the faces of my fellow bus commuters... plus, I don't know if they've changed, but Edinburgh's bus drivers must be among the hardest SOBs around.
