Who is he and who promoted him?

[kenpo3631]

Sean MacGregor, 7th degree black belt in American Motion Kenpo. Student of Ron "Doc" Chapel, claims to have been training in Ed Parker's Kenpo for 20 years. Who is he and did Mr. Chapel promote him to 7th black?

Personally I've never heard of the guy.

I left this post a couple of days to see if anyone else would answer. Apparently, not.

He and his wife used to be on the Kenponet a lot in the early days. For better or worse, they used to get involved in quite a number of imbroglios. Then he disappeared for a long time, posted there a couple more times then left. Last I knew, Sean was a sixth. Do not, however, know his pedigree.

I sent him a note congratulating him on his seventh, perhaps he will respond and fill in... Don't really know if it is a big thing or not however, I'm a sixth and lots of Kenpoists have never heard of me! :

I don't know about his abilities but those stripes on his belt are HUGE. I'd have to buy a size 7 or 8 belt to put those things on me.

Have a great Kenpo day

Perhaps I should put some of that music on my website too.

Some people have said it's loading way too fast.

Is this the same Sean that has a forum called Kenpo Secrets?

Well that awful music was unbearably annoying in that American Motion Kenpo site, but I adored the Kenpo Kards feature and had to tear myself out of it before I totally lost control and started sending Kenpo Kards to everyone I know! Just turn your sound WAY down before you go in or you WILL be sorry!

It really isn't a good idea to put sound on web pages, for a start, code like this:

<bgsound src="http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/4407/mortal_kombat.mid" loop="infinite">

...that runs on that particular page is browser specific, about as browser specific as you can get really since it only works in Internet Explorer.

Making pages which work in some browers and not others is a bad idea and is likely to annoy people who aren't slaves to bloated, buggy, annoying Microsoft browsers (and oporating systems for that matter).

Also, if it does work and people don't want it on there, there's often no easy way to stop it without closing the windows or looking in random context menus, so for people in offices/libraries/other quiet places it's an embarrasment.

Add to that the piss poor quality of the midi files anyway, and there's really no point, it's one of the biggest no-nos in site design.

I suggest any of you currently using Internet Explorer visit www.opera.com and download a browser that is not only free but also works properly, there's versions for Windows, or for the sensible ones of us, Mac and UNIX

You can accomplish the same thing for the netscape browser
using the embed tag. If you put both tags in your code, the
music will work with both browsers. Each one will ignore the
other.

Opera? Lynx? Links? Mozilla? Galeon? Konqueror? Blah?

The current Nutscrape code is so bad most people have defetced to Mozilla one point ohhhh anyway

NS 4.7 was the final straw for me, that had to be one of the most broken releases in compuing history.

Not at all, I just like to make people's lives easier! It's worth using Opera just for the fact that you can reject pop-ups and not have to put up with anymore 'Casino On-line' et al. adverts! Plus a host of other stuff

I've used Opera, and I didn't find it to be any better than Explorer.

Personally, I like to control the way my computer displays things myself. (I want my bookmarks in the order I want them, for example) Opera doesn't let me do that.

Well you can make folders and tidy them into it like any other browser, it just outputs the bookmarks in any particular folder in alphabetical order, which would seem sensible to me!

I don't use in browser bookmarks anyway, I wrote this:

http://www.satans.barber.btinternet.co.uk/computing/perlscripts/bmarks.pl.txt

Which looks like this when you run it under CGI:

http://www.satans.barber.btinternet.co.uk/files/dt.png

Which lets my host my bookmarks data on my gateway machine, and then access it from any machine on my LAN, or from machines at work or university, which is handy if I want to access the same bookmarks from different machines at different times of the day

The thing is, for my work I research a lot of websites, and I would like to have the sites I use the most at the top of the list.

I'd also like sub-folders in my inbox, to make sorting mail more efficient, but Opera can't do that either.

I guess it's down to personal prefrences really.

And since when did IE even do mail?

I don't use Opera for mail, never have done, it's designed primarily as a browser. If you want to use Windows though then I suggest you use Eudora (free from www.eudora.com) for your e-mail.

I wouldn't use Outlook or Outlook Express, they're just too big a target these days, unacceptable risk in my eyes.

As you say though, it's all personal preference!

Ian.
