Interactive Buddha - Discussion
Interactivebuddha.com is back up! Yeah!
Thanks for Simon's help getting it working.
If you find anything strange, broken, or otherwise not quite right, let me know.
It is now a part of integrateddaniel.info, a general personal website, to try to normalize things a bit and bring things back down to earth. It is mostly interactivebuddha at this point, as it had the most pre-made content, but more on the rest is coming...
This will be an interesting and hopefully innovative and successful social experiment in putting together previously hypercompartmentalized parts of my life. We'll see how that goes.
The audio files are not up yet: basically the 5 Hurricane Ranch talks: squarespace doesn't like audio off their server and the files are too big (>20M
.
Work in progress, working out things regarding what server to put them on... There is a suggestion to put them in a public Dropbox folder. Any other options for a good, high-bandwidth solid website for them that would be able to be imbedded into squarespace? I am happy to pay for quality.

Hi Daniel,
The only suggestion I received when i asked around was to use http://soundcloud.com/
I've never used the service personally but I did a quick test and it was simple enough to set up. They have a nice embeddable player, but they do not allow for direct download of the mp3 files which is a downside. I suppose you could also go with a combination of soundcloud and dropbox, soundcloud for the embeddable player, dropbox for the direct download, but that might be a messy solution, though quite quick and easy.
Another option would be to use a traditional webhosting service and host the files there yourself. Any number of flash/html5 players available for free could be used at that point. This option would incur a monthly/yearly fee for the webhosting, and be a little work to setup the player, but would afford the most control and flexibility.
Perhaps someone else knows of a pre-packaged online service that can provide both the embeddable player and the download, that would certainly be the best option.
Anyway, here's a simple example of soundclouds embeddable player with one of the hurricane ranch audio files:
